I am also a landscape architect, and love DG. We specify it often, and for large, high-foot traffic, public spaces. I'll second someone else's comments that it needs to be detailed well by the landscape architect, installed properly, not drained onto, and include minimum "fines" (small grade particles). If you are still concerned about dust or mud or wheelchair users, you can try stabilized dg - mixed with resin, lots of companies produce this type of product. Slightly less of the crunch, but still permeable and much more durable. Crowning the path so it drains into the surrounding landscape is also important. Another option is "NaturalPave", which is a type of resin pavement that acts and installs much like asphalt (www.sspco.com). Good luck!
