Product Description
Belmont Gold Decomposed Granite (DG) brings a depth of color that most Arizona DG materials simply can’t match. Where standard gold and tan decomposed granites read light and sandy, Belmont Gold delivers a rich, warm reddish-brown tone with golden undertones that intensify in direct sunlight – creating a premium, polished look that elevates driveways, patios, and xeriscape designs across the Valley.
This 1/4″ minus screened DG compacts firmly into a dense, stable surface that handles everything Arizona throws at it. Whether it’s triple-digit summer heat, heavy monsoon rain, or daily foot and vehicle traffic, Belmont Gold holds its form and its color. The fine-grained texture with natural white mineral flecks gives it a refined finish that works equally well on high-end residential properties and commercial landscaping projects throughout Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and the surrounding Metro.

Madison Gold Decomposed Granite – Installation & Maintenance Guide
Madison Gold Decomposed Granite (DG) is a top choice for Arizona driveways, walkways, and landscaping, offering a natural golden color, durability, and low maintenance. Proper installation and upkeep ensure a long-lasting, compact surface that withstands Arizona’s heat and seasonal rains.
Installation Tips
- Excavate 3–4 inches deep, clearing weeds and debris.
- For driveways or high-traffic areas, add a 2–3 inch compacted base layer for extra stability.
- Spread DG in 1.5–2 inch layers, mist lightly with water, and compact each layer with a plate compactor.
- Use a stabilizer like G3 Pathway Stabilizer or Technisoil to reduce dust and shifting.
- Install edging (metal, plastic, or stone) to keep DG in place.
Maintenance Tips
- Recompact loose areas with a tamper or plate compactor as needed.
- Mist with water occasionally to reduce dust and improve bonding.
- Rake the surface to keep it even and remove debris.
- Add a fresh layer of DG every 2–3 years to maintain stability.
- Check for erosion after monsoon season and recompact any affected spots.
🔥 Pro Tip: Arizona’s dry heat can cause DG to loosen over time. Regular misting and occasional recompaction will keep your surface firm and long-lasting.
