I. Features & Benefits

TechniSoil G3® Pathway Stabilizer (G3-PS) is a simple solution

for creating custom pathways and patio areas. This eco-friendly

liquid polymer stabilizer for decomposed granite (DG) and

crushed stone materials yields a durable, dust-free surface

in only a few basic steps. By bonding crushed aggregates

and nes, G3-PS enhances natural surfaces for the modern

landscape.

• Reduces tracking of loose materials

• Improves surface stability

• Easy to apply using standard equipment

• Minimizes dust, weeds, and erosion

• Low-maintenance

• Eco-friendly

II. Tool Recommendations:

• Shovel, pick, digging equipment

• Wheelbarrow

• Bow rake and/or grade rake

• Screed

• Shower head watering can or pressurized sprayer

• Masonry trowel

• Vibratory plate compactor

• Hand tamper

• Additional tools may be required for edge restraints

III. Material Recommendations:

G3-PS works best with 3/8” minus to 1/2” minus crushed stone

mixes, including but not limited to decomposed granite (DG),

crushed limestone, & granite screenings.

A linear gradation of angular crushed rocks to nes without

any dirt, clay, or sand is strongly recommended.

Aggregates with a moisture content of less than 3% are recom-

mended.

IV. Coverage

G3® Pathway Stabilizer will cover 15ft²/gallon on average using

two applications per project.

• 1st application will require 20ft²/gallon to fully saturate

aggregate before compaction.

• 2nd application requires 50ft²/gallon as a topcoat.

New Project Application Guidelines (continued) Compact surface • • surface layer to 95% or greater compaction using a DO NOT COMPACT material before G3-PS has been vibratory plate compactor (typically 3 - 4 longitudinal applied! For best results and proper absorption of G3-PS, the crushed stone mix material should only be graded into place before pouring liquid passes).

Installation Instructions For: G3® Pathway Stabilizer ® VIII. Existing Project Application Guidelines Before treating an existing project, carefully consider the following; • Surface layer material gradation, compaction, depth, and age • Subbase construction • Edge restraint construction • Previous modifications of surface layer materials If assessment of the previously stated variables coincides with our ‘New Project’ guidelines, then proceed to next step.
