"Great. They addressed all our concerns about grading water away from the house. After multiple rains the grading has worked perfectly. Paid particular attention to creating clean and straight demarcation lines where asphalt met grass, essentially expanding width of the driveway 6 inches and created nice "flares" at the entrance to the driveway where the grass had been worn down. Before, the driveway looked like the hodge-podge of previous layers (two to three) of asphalt it was with very poor drainage. They dug up and carried away tons of old asphalt and graded. Now it looks neat and "buttoned up" as they would say. Friends of ours saw the completed job and had the guys come over to their home to get a quote to do their driveway."

"BLUF: I highly recommend Blue Tide Exteriors Details: I was originally hesitant to contact this company based on some less than favorable reviews. However, knowing that some individual's expectations can be... unreasonable, we contacted Blue Tide Exteriors for our relatively simple job to have a cover constructed over our flagstone patio. Blue Tide Exteriors was prompt with responding, gave us an excellent walkthrough of our options and what to expect, and was upfront with pricing and timelines. We couldn't be happier with their recommendations and the final product exceeds our expectations. As an example of their quality, the workers from Blue Tide took the dug out dirt from our footers and filled in some noticeable depressions in our backyard, rather than just putting the excess dirt in a corner. These details, as well as the overall professionalism of Blue Tide, is why I recommend them without hesitation, and I intend to use them again for any exterior work. Please don't let the negative reviews sway you, this company is professional and delivers quality results at a very reasonable price."

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.
