Black Basalt Decomposed Granite 1/4" Minus SuperSack


Central California Quarry

This is a very attractive black grey crushed basalt stone fine material produced by a quarry in Central California. This crushed black basalt material packs down very well for pathways, patios, and other surfaces where decomposed granite is used. The strong black-grey color of this material provides an extra design element as a contrasting or complementary dark color not often found in landscape materials.


Product Specifications and Uses
A proper DG surface does not move underfoot like sand or gravel, but its porosity allows water to penetrate to the soil below. That aspect makes DG or crushed stone fines a good paving material around trees and shrubs. Decomposed Granite and Crushed Stone Fines are not the same materials. Decomposed granite has a natural coarse look to it with irregular round quartz pebbles. Crushed stone products tend to be more flat and have a higher amount of fine material. Crushed stone products, granite, sandstone, limestone and others offer a greater array of natural colors to work with than most true decomposed granite materials.
Commonly used for;

Pathways
Driveways, residential
Golf cart pathways
Bicycle pathways
Informal entrances areas
Outdoor patio and entertainment areas
Decorative landscape borders
Utility pavement areas
