Desert Sand GraniteCrete Stabilizer - 85Lb
Granitecrete is a permeable paving solution for projects of all sizes. It can be seamlessly incorporated with the surrounding landscape themes and designs. Granitecrete gives a firm, stable and porous end surface, that reduces water padding and soil erosion. GraniteCrete can be finished with a variety of different techniques to achieve the desired look (smooth, brushed, coarse). It is superior because of its sustainability characteristics and ease of installation. GraniteCrete is a combination of pre-consumer recycled aggregate, gypsum by-product, fine clays, and colorant. It is recommended that 3/8" minus decomposed granite material be used with GraniteCrete Admixture. Granitecrete is naturally resistant to weeds, which is why weed barrier fabric is not needed for the installation of Granitecrete mixture with D. G.. This characteristic of Granitecrete also makes it perfect for placement between flagstones or stepping stones.
We recommend using two 85lbs. bags per cubic yard for residential installations, and three 85 lbs. bags per cubic yard for commercial installations. We have a paving materials estimator to help you estimate how much GraniteCrete and decomposed granite you will need.
The following are the sustainability features of Granitecrete:
GraniteCrete can be mixed with existing surrounding native soils!
Manufactured using pre and post-consumer recycled materials
No oils, resins, polymers, or enzymes to leach into the environment
Contributes 13 LEED points as a stand-alone product

The environmental benefits of Granitecrete are:
Reduces stormwater runoff rate and volume
Reduces water pollution by trapping pollutants in the pavement
Replenishes groundwater, which can, in turn, be used by plants surrounding the pavement.
Tons vs. Yards and Square Feet.
In most cases, we charge by the ton and we have the receipts from the scale house at the quarry to show upon request. Materials sold by the yard tend to have very in-accurate amounts in the trucks. Amounts depend on the size of the loader bucket, how well the material was scooped up and who was supervising the loading of the truck. Scale House totals don't lie, so why take a chance on losing money and time with how many square feet, scoops, skips and or dumps were made in loading the truck?Architects, public agencies, contractors and owner-builders requiring a competitive bid for the materials and transport costs should E-mail us with material specifications, amount and date needed and buyers' contact information. .
