Why Decomposed Granite is the Perfect Landscaping Material for Prescott Yards

If you're looking to create a beautiful, low-maintenance outdoor space in Prescott, decomposed granite (DG) is one of the best materials to consider. At R.E. and Sons Landscaping, we often recommend DG for its durability, natural beauty, and eco-friendly properties. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of using decomposed granite in Prescott landscaping and why it's a smart choice for your next outdoor project.

What Is Decomposed Granite?

Decomposed granite is a weathered form of granite that breaks down into small particles over time. It has a sandy texture and comes in various shades, including tan, gold, and reddish-brown, making it a visually appealing and versatile material. DG is often used for paths, patios, driveways, and as a ground cover around plants.

Benefits of Decomposed Granite for Prescott Landscaping

1. Natural Aesthetic AppealDecomposed granite complements the desert landscape of Prescott. Its earthy tones blend seamlessly with native plants, boulders, and xeriscape designs, creating a natural, rustic look that enhances curb appeal.

2. Excellent Drainage and Erosion ControlDG is permeable, allowing water to seep through and into the soil. This reduces runoff, minimizes erosion, and supports healthy plant growth—especially important in the arid climate of Northern Arizona.

3. Low-Maintenance and DurableOnce compacted, decomposed granite forms a stable, firm surface that withstands foot traffic and light vehicle use. It's easy to maintain and doesn’t require frequent replacement, making it cost-effective over time.

4. Eco-Friendly Landscaping OptionUsing DG reduces the need for irrigation and chemical treatments. It’s also a sustainable material that helps regulate soil temperature and supports environmentally friendly landscaping practices.

5. Versatile Design ApplicationsFrom garden pathways and patio bases to decorative borders and fire pit surrounds, DG can be used in a variety of ways to elevate both form and function in your landscape design.
