Annie Thornton From what I have gathered, when you order the DG, you request the stabilizer to be mixed in with the stone that binds the pieces together while maintaining a permeable surface. There is also a DG application available mixed with polymers that will create a non permeable surface similar to asphalt still with the loose appearance of DG. It all depends on how steep the slope is and the level of traffic you expect. It is more expensive to get these binders mixed in, but the maintenance and longevity I think is worth it.

I would contact the supplier with more specific answers, but basically I wouldn't suggest a DIY project. It's a professional application.

nikkigreen Great, thanks for your time and the super advice, I had no idea these things even existed!
