Around 40 to 50 per cubic yard
Decomposed or partially decomposed granite is porous.
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 or partially decomposed granite is porous.
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.

No dig gardening....look it up :D
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.
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.
because granite is such a hard rock, it is difficult for things to imprint it, it also comes from lava/magma so most living things have already decomposed before they can make an imprint.
The less granite there is being made, or mined. The more expensive it will be.
