This eBook describes Decomposed Granite (DG) applications as well as other materials to use for patios and walkways. Includes 26 photos. Do-it-yourselfers will find a full description of how to install a proper, hard DG patio step-by-step. Homeowners who want to use a contractor will discover all the information to give their contractor to install proper drainage, and the exact methods for obtaining a beautiful DG patio or walkway. In addition, Patten looks at alternative materials, such as concrete, pavers, or flagstone, and when these materials are preferable to decomposed granite. Techniques for a flagstone DG patio are different than a pure DG installation and Patten goes over those as well. Types of DG, colors, choosing benderboard or other edgings, and alternative mixes are covered. A must-have for anyone thinking about patio materials, and especially decomposed granite.
