Screenings (#10)
Applications & Uses
Screenings in a #10 Size Range
Screenings in a #10 size range are finely crushed stone particles, typically produced as a byproduct during the crushing and screening of larger aggregates. These particles are much smaller than standard gravel, often resembling coarse sand or stone dust.
The #10 size range means the material passes through a #10 sieve, resulting in a very fine texture. This fine grading makes screenings ideal for applications where a smooth, compactable base is required. Common uses include setting pavers, creating a stable base for walkways and patios, or as a leveling layer beneath concrete slabs. In addition, screenings are often used to fill joints between paving stones, helping to lock them in place and prevent weed growth.
The main advantage of #10 screenings is their excellent compaction and ability to create a solid, stable surface. However, because they are so fine, they may retain moisture and can become muddy in wet conditions, making them less suitable for areas requiring high drainage. Overall, screenings in this size range are a versatile and cost-effective choice for both residential and commercial hardscape projects.
