Pathways that navigate through these public spaces should be functional, durable, and complement the natural environment. This course explores pathway materials and focuses on decomposed granite (DG) and natural aggregates. It discusses the types of pathways, their applications, installation and maintenance, as well as their contribution to green design.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Describe the benefits and drawbacks of a variety of pathway materials and the key elements to consider in the material selection process.
  • Explain how decomposed granite (DG) and natural aggregate pathway materials support the goals of low impact development and contribute to meeting green design objectives.
