Product Description
Desert Jade Decomposed Granite (DG) is one of Arizona’s most distinctive crushed granite materials, recognized immediately by its cool gray-green mineral tones that set it apart from the warm browns and golds that dominate most desert landscapes. If you’re working with a modern home exterior, a contemporary xeriscape design, or simply want a DG that creates visual contrast rather than blending in, Desert Jade delivers a look that’s hard to find and easy to appreciate.
Available for delivery throughout the Phoenix Metro and beyond, this 1/4″ minus screened DG compacts firmly into a stable, low-maintenance surface built for Arizona’s heat and monsoon season. Its angular, mineral-rich fragments lock together underfoot, reducing displacement and creating reliable traction on driveways, walkways, and patio surfaces. The cooler color palette also tends to absorb less heat than darker materials, making it a comfortable choice for high-traffic outdoor areas during Arizona summers.
- Cool gray-green tones create natural contrast against warm home exteriors and desert plants
- Compacts firmly for stable, low-maintenance driveways, pathways, and patio surfaces
- Naturally permeable – allows water to drain through rather than pool during monsoon season
- Ideal for xeriscaping, erosion control, and drought-tolerant landscape designs
- Safe, soft-textured ground cover for natural play areas and pet-friendly yards
Desert Jade Decomposed Granite is available for delivery across the Valley. Contact ABC Sand & Rock to schedule your delivery and get this one-of-a-kind DG working in your landscape.
