Decomposed Granite Silver
Formed from weathered granite that has broken into fine gravel over time, Silver Decomposed Granite provides a light grey surface with a clean, natural look. Its compactable texture makes it ideal for areas where both drainage and visual consistency are priorities. Often used for pathways, patios, and garden accents, this material offers a smooth surface that settles well while maintaining its permeability.
