Pathway Materials
Decomposed Granite Pathway Materials
Kafka Granite Pathway Materials are used where a firm pathway is required for pedestrian or vehicular traffic, but a natural look, unlike hardscape surfaces, is preferred. We offer decomposed granite pathways in three variations: Standard Pathway Aggregate, Stabilized Pathway Aggregate and Wax-Coated Pathway Aggregate. Pathways made with decomposed granite materials are an affordable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to concrete, asphalt, pavers and other hardscape surface materials.
Which Material Is Ideal for My Project?
Determining which Kafka Granite Pathway Material is perfect for your project depends on a number of variables. Need a material to reduce erosion on grades? Kafka’s Wax-Coated Pathway Aggregate or Stabilized Pathway Aggregate is more suitable for your project. A project requires maximum water permeability? Kafka’s Standard Pathway Aggregate is more suitable for your needs. Looking to reduce the amount of maintenance on your pathways? Kafka’s Stabilized Pathway Aggregate or Wax-Coated Pathway Aggregate will fulfill your requirements.

| STANDARD PATHWAY AGGREGATE | STABILIZED PATHWAY AGGREGATE | WAX-COATED PATHWAY AGGREGATE | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | Our natural stone is crushed and screened to a gradation that allows for a firm surface that compacts well, while retaining permeability. | Our natural crushed stone is pre-blended with Organic-Lock™, an organic stabilizing binder to create an even more durable natural pathway. | Our natural crushed stone is combined with a polymeric wax, perfect for extremely demanding conditions, steep slopes, and trails. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Kafka Granite offers pathway materials ideal for a variety of scenarios. We offer crushed stone, decomposed granite, and an array of crushed recycled materials that can lend themselves aesthetically and functionally to any pathway.
Our decomposed granite aggregate and crushed stone come in nearly 40 colors, leaving you with essentially endless visual options for your pathway project. Many of our options are locally sourced or are made from recycled materials, which could help garner points toward LEED certification.
Kafka Granite’s Pathway Materials are an affordable and often more environmentally friendly alternative to other hardscapes like asphalt or concrete. We have the ability to match and complement your natural environment with unmatched aesthetic appeal all while standing up to the tests of time, weather, and traffic. Our service is second-to-none, and our color variation is what sets us apart. No matter what aesthetic you’re trying to achieve, Kafka can help you. Contact us today to locate a dealer near you or to request free samples to help you decide the right Pathway Material for your project.
Standard Pathway Aggregate is ideal for low-traffic areas that call for a permeable and easy-to-manage pathway solution. This option doesn’t include any additives, but is crushed to the perfect size to warrant optimum compaction and drainage.
Stabilized Pathway Aggregate includes our gravel aggregate mixed with Organic-Lock™, an organic stabilizing binder. The addition of an organic binder enhances the durability of these pathways while not compromising its natural quality. These pathways remain permeable and work well in areas with slightly higher pedestrian or vehicular traffic, or in areas that require wheelchair accessibility.
Wax-Coated Pathway Aggregate is the most durable pathway material offered by Kafka. Our crushed stone, granite aggregate, or recycled material comes premixed with an engineered polymer that completely eliminates mud and dust. The addition of an engineered polymer wax makes this an impermeable pathway, but this is the ideal solution for areas that are steeply graded.
