Have been seeing this decomposed granite more and more lately for walkways and patios. The stuff is great. No pavers, cheap ($30/ton, $23/yd), nice natural look and drains well. There is DG with hardener added for surfaces like walkways. It is suited for dryer climates more so than heavy rains.
I hear about people using loose dg for cacti gardens and succulents. Has anyone done this? Have any tips? Blends specifically... I guess you can plant right in loose dg, but some mix DG and a fast draining soil.
This landscape designer was telling me about her idea for rocks, dg and succulents. She is going to pile up large rocks against a corner of her fence. Then fill in the cracks and spaces with DG, then plant succulents in the DG.
