Homes built in 2004, like many in Twelve Bridges, sit on construction-grade San Joaquin Loam, now 22 years old.

Decomposed granite is a superior, non-combustible hardscape that lasts decades with proper compaction and edging. Compared to wooden decks, it provides critical defensible space for a Moderate Fire Wise Rating zone. Its permeable nature also manages runoff, a key consideration for properties in the Wildland-Urban Interface.

San Joaquin Loam has a low infiltration rate. The permanent fix involves regrading to create positive slope and installing subsurface French drains.

Never apply during rain forecasts.
