Stone Dust, also known as grit, quarry dust, quarry screening, and decomposed granite, is one of the most commonly used stone byproducts. Stone Dust is mostly used as a base for stone pavers during various small, home projects; however; since it is sturdy enough to withstand the pressure of stone pavers, has incredible drainage properties, and can also be smoothed, it can also be used for various other projects, including bricks in walkways and patios, horse arenas, biking and hiking trails, and more.
Due to its nonporous, sturdy surface, it not only protects the base of the area from moisture, thus preventing mold growth, but it also effectively prevents grass and weeds from springing up between the pavers.
When it is used with larger stones, it serves as a bonding agent, such as in driveways, cement asphalt for streets, and sidewalks.
