Decomposed granite, even when stabilized with a polymer additive, is still a crushed stone mix that is not impervious to water. Even concrete isn’t impervious to water – believe it or not – while some water runs off, some evaporates, and some percolates. Water, especially in excess or for extended periods, will soften your path.

The crushed granite must be spread evenly across the entire installation area. Start to dampen the crushed granite and begin making passes with the plate tamper/compactor. Make as many passes as necessary to create a firm base. Do not make sharp turns with the plate tamper; this will create ridges in the base.

If you are installing individual stones for each step, the area between steps can be made up of decomposed granite, rock, or even filled in with groundcover plants or sod. If the stones for your pathway are being installed next to each other to create a pattern, smaller rocks or fine aggregate can be placed in between the stones.
