Decomposed Granite Utility Area Installation pt 2
Decomposed Granite is an excellent low cost construction material that can be used for driveways, pathways, utility areas or as broad landscape cover.
Hey, my dad put some of this DG on a back area in a home. He didn't use the
black fabric, he simply dropped all of it on the ground put some white
powder on it that smelled like cinnamon and then rinsed it all up and
spread it around the ground. The owners of the house now want to remove it
because there seems to be a bunch of little holes everywhere, from
worms....is there anyway to deal with this problem? THANKS! it was his
first time.
Laying Pavers on Sand or Gravel (Paving Backyard with DaznDi Properties)
Laying Pavers on Sand or Gravel Paving a small backyard with DaznDi Properties In our new video I show how to lay concrete pavers in a small backyard.
Daz, for the DG you layed next to the pavers, did you compact it at all?
Did you compact any of the area that put the pavers on? You presented your
process in a very clear way. Thanks!
+Dave Allen with crushed granite it compacts well with just walking all over it or with a hand roller. I only used the pressure of banging the pavers down firm with a rubber mallet. After the granite has been packed, I water it well to help settle it in.Hope this helps you out and thanks for your question and comment!Daz.

How to build a flagstone walkway part I
Stefan Grunkemeier and Craig Bohrer of Simply Rocks offer an in depth tutorial on how to build a flagstone walkway. View more of our work at simply-rocks.com.
Can you ever just set thick flagstones, say 4" thick, directly without the
base? Our soil is heavy clay or sand plus clay and I'm wondering if I could
get my grade, tamp it, put an inch of sand over it, and set the flagstones
since what we have is 4" thick and there's zero chance of them ever
breaking.
+Stefan Grunkemeier Thanks for the reply. Turns out, I built it yesterday and did set it on sand for leveling as you described. Even though it's on sand, I'm going to point with 1:2 cement:sand in the gaps rather than fill will sand or gravel. This is a narrow side yard where there's no room to grade out 10 feet, so I pitched the stone to carry stormwater to the back yard. I need to point the gaps so that water will flow over the walk rather than sinking between the stones. It may crack, but I'm hoping the 4" thickness will help. I'll know in a year or three. Thanks for your help! Yell if you think pointing is a total disaster. Moving stormwater is more important than looks.
+Stefan Grunkemeier thank you for the courtesy of your reply. This was a very good video, btw, and the finished walk (and the previously-completed patio) look great!
