Around 40 to 50 per cubic yard
Yes, decomposed granite is porous because it is made up of small particles that allow water to pass through and drain easily. This makes it a popular choice for landscapes and pathways where good drainage is desired.
The stone called, "Decomposed Granite" is orange (and a little crumbly). A lot of granite is composed of white and black minerals in a speckled appearance.
Granite counter tops cost 48$-150$ per sq. foot Granite tile cost $4-$20 per sq. foot. The price of granite very's so much that it mostly depends on the type of granite. Example:Granite tile price's at home depot:$5.00 sq. foot for black granite$7.00 sq. foot for Brazilian green granite$10.99 sq. foot for tan brown graniteand for counter tops, it cost $48.00 sq foot. at the lowest.Note: prices are of 6/28/10 this is not from home depot. And the price of granite changes from year to year.
The cheapest granite countertop colors are those that require the least processing in a plant. Given that almost all granite is more or less available, the color has little to nothing to do with the price of the countertop.
Water does cause decomposed granite to harden, but not into anything resembling cement. Wetting and then compressing (foot traffic will do it) will pack it down. Once the sun has dried it out again, it's much, much more compact. It goes from loose sand to the consistency of packed, sun-baked dirt. When it's wet for the first time, it's like frosting or mud. After drying out for the first time, subsequent wettings won't return it to this soft state, so don't worry.
Decomposed granite is granite that is weathered and has been broken down into gravel sized particles. One can purchase a large supply of decomposed granite by ordering it from a home improvement store such as Home Depot or Lowe's.

It depends a little on just how decomposed it is, and whether it's been disturbed or not (native state or excavated and recompacted, or not recompacted), but generally, use of a unit weight of about 135 to 145 pounds per cubic foot or in the range of 3,500 to 4,000 pounds per cubic yard should suffice for estimating purposes.
6 tons
One ton of decomposed granite typically covers about 100 to 150 square feet at a depth of 2 to 3 inches. The exact coverage can vary based on factors like compaction and moisture content. For a specific project, it's best to calculate based on the desired thickness and the type of decomposed granite used.
No dig gardening....look it up :D
To effectively remove decomposed granite from your outdoor space, you can use a shovel or rake to scoop up the material. You may also consider using a leaf blower or pressure washer to help dislodge and remove the granite. Be sure to wear protective gear and dispose of the material properly.
We don't know how decomposed granite lies or settles. All we can tell you is that(1 cubic yard that's 2 inches high) covers 23,328 square inches = 162 square feet.
I was not aware that granite decomposed! A yard is sometimes used, in the building trade, as an abbreviation for cubic yard. 1435 sq ft * 3 inches = 1435/9 * 3/36 = 13.29 cubic yards, approx.
