Frequently Asked Questions


 

What is DGRainKoat?

DGRainKoat is a Decomposed Granite Weather Shield designed protect the surface of decomposed granite from the detrimental effects caused by harsh winter weather.
 

Should I apply DGRainKoat to my DG?

Absolutely Positively YES!  The number one cause for premature erosion of  decomposed granite is harsh winter weather.  When the rainy season hits It doesn't take long before small pieces of DG start to break free from the surface of the DG.  After  a few small pieces of DG break free the accelerated  erosion takes over.  As you walk or drive on the DG those little pieces of DG start to grind into the DG causing more DG to come loose. this process continues rain or shine and does not stop.

DGRainKoat puts an protective layer on the surface of the DG. breakdown caused by rom rainfall It works like a shield reducing the volume of water that soaks into the DG  impact caused by harsh wither weather. 

 

Is applying DGRainKoat the same as stabilizing my DG?

No. DGRainKoat only protects the surface of the DG. It does not stabilize the DG below. To stabilize the entire DG slab you would need to apply TerraKoat EX Decomposed Granite Stabilizer before compacting the DG.
 

How is DGRainKoat Applied.? 

The application process is as easy as watering the lawn.  You apply DGRainKoat with a pump type or powered garden sprayer. @ 60 sqft per gallon  On larger  projects a spray bar on the back of an ATV or small truck works great. for extra protection a second coat can be applied.  

 

How long will DGRainKoat protect my DG?

There are so many variable that can effect how often you should reapply DGRainKoat.  Location, weather conditions, slope, amount of  use, compaction level at install etc.  It is different for everyone. We recommend applying in November/December. The following season inspect the DG. If it is sill looking great you are good  no need to reapply. Do this each year before the winter rains set in and reapply as needed.  You can always reapply mid year if  degradation is noticed.  
 
Is there anything else I can do to extend the life of my DG?
Yes. Whenever you notice any small pieces of DG breaking free, remove them right away. The more loose DG on the surface the faster the DG will break down.
