"My family has used ETL Construction for a variety of projects, most recently to inspect and make improvements to our home prior to sale. Honesty and integrity are rare these days in the contracting realm, and the team at ETL is built on a foundation of trust and respect. They are true project managers and keep track of every step of the process to ensure they stay on time and in budget. They met with us to tour every inch of our property, listened to our concerns, and made recommendations to us. They completely replaced our front steps that had deteriorated, completely rebuilt a deck that was not originally built up to par, assisted with drywall repair, electrical work. plumbing, and even landscaping. From the top, down, every single member of this expert team of professionals works hard to ensure that everything exceeds exceptions. Additionally, their team has design and decorating expertise and assisted us with matching paint colors, choosing stains, and choosing finishes for fixtures that required replacing. I can't say enough about this family-owned business. If you choose to work with ETL, and I highly recommend that you do, you will soon be a friend of the family, too!"

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.
