Nassau license H2042830000, Suffolk licence 20756-HI.
"Timmy was an absolute pleasure to work with. He explained the process in depth, had great communication throughout the job and has an amazing team who were very nice. They left the job site each time throughout the process as clean as could be, which says a lot with the extent of work they do. I received other quotes and theirs was extremely fair especially considering the high quality craftsmanship of the finished driveway. No cut corners, no random up-charges, just great quality work at the quoted price. I would recommend Timmy and his crew to anyone looking for good people that stand by their word. I will be calling them in the future without hesitation for any future projects."

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.
