Your Decomposed Granite Landscaping Questions, Answered

Can the AI show different colors of decomposed granite, like gold, tan, or grey?
Yes! You can specify your desired color in the text prompt. For example, try 'design with gold decomposed granite' or 'use grey DG for a modern look' to have the AI generate visuals that match your color preference.
Is decomposed granite landscaping a good choice for a low-maintenance backyard design?
Absolutely. DG is an excellent material for low-maintenance designs. When installed with a stabilizer and landscape fabric, it suppresses weeds, requires no mowing or watering, and provides a durable, long-lasting surface. It's one of the most popular alternatives to a grass lawn for this reason.
How can Ideal House help me design a decomposed granite pathway?
Our tool makes it easy. Upload a photo of your garden and describe the path you envision. You can specify the width, shape, and location. The AI will generate realistic decomposed granite pathway ideas, showing you exactly how it will look and helping you perfect the design before you start digging.
Can I use this tool to compare DG with other gravel garden design materials?
Yes. You can generate multiple versions of your design. For one, ask for 'decomposed granite landscaping,' and for another, ask for a 'pea gravel patio' or 'crushed stone walkway.' This allows you to visually compare the texture, color, and overall aesthetic of different materials side-by-side.
What's the difference between stabilized and unstabilized DG, and can the AI visualize it?
Stabilized DG has a resin binder mixed in, creating a firmer, more durable surface that erodes less, much like a natural pavement. Unstabilized DG is looser. While the AI primarily visualizes the aesthetic—which is very similar for both—it helps you plan for projects like a stabilized DG patio where the solid, neat appearance is key.
