Eco-Friendly Driveway and Path Materials: Decomposed Granite and Dust Control

A farm/ranch owner between Tallahassee, FL and Dothan, AL wants eco-friendly paths/driveways using decomposed granite. Concerned about stone dust inhalation and seeks affordable local sources.

Inhalation risk from inert gravel dust is minimal; keep surface moist with occasional irrigation to suppress dust. Larger aggregate (e.g., #57 stone, 2-3 inches) produces less dust and allows more infiltration. "Florida lime rock" is common in the region. Search online for "Florida lime rock," "M-10," "crushed granite," "crusher run" plus local city names. Ask suppliers for samples if ordering bulk.
