Decomposed Granite: Is this really as fine as you'd expect?
Comments (1)What did you buy? The scale ranges from 3/8 minus (really fine) to 3/4+ (quite coarse)...See MoreWhich decomposed granite pathway method is the best?
Comments (1)The question that I wonder is runoff because you said it is a grade. If you have any downspouts pointed at the back they will be washout no matter what type of dg or dg with stabilizer.

Comments (14)Not just a plain bark mulch - get playground chips. Bark mulch can be sharp and produce splinters. Playground chips are wood chips that have been tumbled to remove any sharp edges and are virtually splinter-free. Rubber mulch is good for this purpose as well. And lasts the longest. But make sure the area is fully enclosed with regards to the mulch or it will be migrating everywhere. And you don't want rubber mulch in your lawn or in the garden! But definitely not the DG.......unless you have a very large container of band-aids on hand!...See MoreDecomposed Granite in Detroit

I started a new thread on the subject as well....See MoreJohn
