Decomposed Granite Pathways

You need to dig out the pathways below grade, put down some landscape fabric for drainage, then put down the granite, and pack it down.

you have to use heavy landscape fabric or you will be fighting weeds and them some

Agree with William. This is the right way to do it.

I agree with William too, but for extra good measure or if your not wanting to dig deep enough for some reason? I’d Recommen spraying the area with a All Vegitation killer too! Round up is only for narrow leaf plants or grass. All vegetation kills everything!

You usually shovel a pathway first a few inches down, then add landscape fabric, you can spray too if you like, then put down the granite and run a compactor over it.

Here is the recipe for vinegar weed killer: 1 gallon white vinegar, 1 cup table salt & 1 Tablespoon of Dawn. Don't spray it on grass or plant or else it will kill them too. Good luck Willow

One of the main reasons for using decomposed granite is that it compacts so well, which deters the growth of weeds...especially if you use a plate compactor (you can rent them) and really pack it down when you put it in.... put down a layer, wet down, compact, and repeat until you have your pathway the way you want it.
