Additional DBA - Assured Asphalt Corpo.
"This company is a swindler. The guy that talks to you is super nice, but the product you receive is garbage. I was part of the Kilmer Park road reconstruction project where they were hired to replace the aprons of driveway that were affected by the construction. Unfortunately I took advantage of the "deal" they offered to replace the rest of the driveway for cheaper since they were there, and I really wish I hadn't. From the first couple days after the job, I already noticed water pooling in the driveway, then after the recommended days of not parking on it, our vehicles still left tire imprints where we parked them. A small amount of gas spilled in one spot, and it ate all the way through to the dirt. I thought I was crazy about how fast the driveway was disintegrating, but I hired a professional seal coat company to try and mitigate the destruction, and they agreed it was a terrible job. I tried contacting the company afterwards with my concerns and was never responded to. All in all, never hire this awful company."

The depth of decomposed granite depends on the load the surface will support. For a vehicle driveway, install decomposed granite six inches deep. For pedestrian areas, use three inches, and for decorative surfaces, one inch will suffice. Heavier loads require thicker layers to ensure stability, drainage, and longevity, while lighter uses can maintain their appearance with less material.
One cubic yard of decomposed granite covers 54 square feet when laid to a six-inch depth. This conversion is derived by dividing the volume in cubic feet by the depth in feet. The calculation is fundamental for project planning because it converts three-dimensional volume into the two-dimensional area of coverage. Due to potential settling and compaction after installation, pros recommend an extra 15% to ensure the installed layer meets precise design requirements and maintains robust stability over time.
Determining whether a base layer is necessary for decomposed granite installation requires careful assessment of your project needs. A base layer of crushed rock or gravel provides essential support, improved drainage, and enhanced stability. Utilizing a solid base improves the overall structure by absorbing weight, reducing erosion, and extending the life of the surface. Additionally, a properly compacted base layer minimizes shifting and settling, ensuring that the decomposed granite remains evenly distributed and effective over time.
