Screenings (3/8″, Lime)
Applications & Uses
Screenings (Lime) - 3/8" Size Range
Screenings in a 3/8" size range with a lime attribute are finely crushed limestone particles, typically produced as a byproduct during the crushing and screening of larger limestone aggregates. The lime content gives these screenings a light color and a natural ability to help neutralize acidic soils, making them especially valuable in landscaping and construction applications.
The 3/8" size ensures a compact, stable base that is easy to level and work with, while the fine texture fills voids effectively, resulting in a smooth, solid surface. This makes lime screenings ideal for use as a base material under pavers, patios, walkways, and flagstone installations. They are also commonly used for pathways, horse arenas, and as a soil amendment in gardens. The main advantage of this material is its excellent compaction and minimal dust compared to coarser aggregates, though it may not provide optimal drainage in areas prone to heavy water flow.
