Central California Quarry
This is a very attractive rich black crushed basalt rock material produced by a quarry in Central California. This crushed black basalt material makes for soft gravel surface that is very good for driveways pathways, and other surfaces where the hardness of decomposed granite is not wanted. The strong black color of this material provides an extra design element as a contrasting or complementary dark color not often found in landscape materials.
Excellent ground cover in gardens and container planters.
This material is very good for wet coastal climates where drainage on driving or walking surfaces important.

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.
