How to install Decomposed Granite

1
Edge the area
Steel, plastic, or stone edging keeps loose decorative gravel from migrating.
2
Clear & level
Remove sod, grade flat, and lay landscape fabric to suppress weeds.
3
Spread to depth
2-3" finished depth is standard, going deeper for dog runs or high-traffic paths.
4
Top up annually
Pea gravel and river rock settle ~10-15% per year; plan one re-dressing each spring.
