I was sure I wanted a gravel yard for my place near UNM, but the dust changed my mind.
My contractor friend in the South Valley told me to just try a bag of decomposed granite in a corner for a week, and the fine grit got on everything. I ended up going with a mix of flagstone and drought-tolerant plants instead, which looks way better and is way cleaner. Anyone else in the Heights or UNM area deal with this dust issue and find a good fix?

Come on, the dust isn't that bad. You just have to water it down once in a while.

Watering down dust just makes mud, @ross.jason. That mud then dries into a hard, cracked layer that's way harder to clean up than the original dust was. You're basically trading one problem for a bigger one.

Exactly, that dried mud is the worst. It gets stuck in all the cracks and you need a scraper to get it off. Total pain compared to just sweeping dust.
