How should I landscape a small side yard?

I have a small side yard (Approx. 4' x 10') that connects the front yard to the back. I'm in the process of removing small rocks that is currently covering the area. Leaves and dirt kept getting into the spaces between the rocks. A landscaping guy suggested I replace the rocks with DG (decomposed granite). Is DG an easy maintenance and a good cheap option as suggested?

Nothing will keep leaves & dirt from the space since they are carried by the wind. Keep that in mind in regards to maintenance.
True, just thinking that a smoother surface would be somewhat easier.
Dg is about the same as gravel messy Where do you live what is the climate dry ? might be ok not good for areas around house where there is lots of rain,snow etc. it's extremely messy,can be slick,gets muddy tracked all over on shoes,stains house or other surfaces ; it needs to be about 6"s deep and compacted tightly, maybe just putting in a concrete slab or just some 12x12" concrete pavers so much easier to keep clean and walk on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUEY3rnduns concrete pour https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=DIY+installing+10x4ft+concrete+slab pavers https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=DIY+installing+10x4ft+pavers
