Description

Deco Granite (Decomposed Granite)

Create a natural, compacted surface with Deco Granite, a versatile material designed for pathways, driveways, courtyards and decorative landscaping applications.

Also known as decomposed granite, this finely crushed material features a warm, natural tan colour and a mix of fines and small particles that allow it to compact tightly while maintaining a natural appearance.

Combining durability with visual appeal, Deco Granite is a popular choice for projects requiring a firm surface with a softer, more organic finish than concrete or paving.

Key Features & Benefits

Compacts to a firm surface — Fine particles bind together to create a stable, walkable finish.

Natural decorative appearance — Warm, earthy tones provide a soft, organic look ideal for landscaping.

Permeable surface — Allows water to drain through, helping reduce runoff and pooling.

Cost-effective alternative to concrete — Ideal for covering larger areas without the cost of hard paving.

Versatile application — Suitable for both residential and commercial landscaping projects.

What It’s Used For

Pathways & Walkways — Creates a firm, natural-looking surface for foot traffic.

Driveways & Access Areas — Suitable for light vehicle use when properly installed and compacted.

Courtyards & Outdoor Areas — Ideal for decorative, low-maintenance surfaces.

Around Pavers & Stepping Stones — Perfect for filling gaps and creating a seamless finish.

Stabilising Guide (Optional but Recommended)

Deco Granite can be used loose, or stabilised for a stronger, longer-lasting surface.

As a general guide:

• Mix approximately 1 part cement to 8 parts Deco Granite for stabilised applications
• For pedestrian areas, use around 1 bag of cement per tonne
• For driveways or higher traffic areas, use 2 bags per tonne

Stabilising helps create a firmer, more durable surface while still maintaining a natural look.

Why It Performs Well

Deco Granite contains a mix of fine particles and crushed stone, allowing it to:

• Compact tightly into a stable surface
• Maintain a natural, textured finish
• Provide good drainage while remaining firm
• Blend seamlessly into landscape designs

This makes it ideal for projects where appearance and function need to work together.

Important Product Characteristics

Fine crushed granite material — Compacts firmly but remains more natural than concrete or paving.

Can loosen over time if unstabilised — High-traffic areas benefit from stabilising with cement.

Natural variation in colour and texture — Product may vary between batches.

Not a structural base — For heavy loads, a road base layer underneath is recommended.

Installation Tips

• Install over a compacted road base for best results
• Apply at a depth of 50–100mm depending on application
• Lightly wet and compact thoroughly
• Stabilise with cement for driveways or high-traffic areas
