Screenings in a 3/8" Minus Size Range

Screenings in a 3/8" minus size range are finely crushed stone byproducts produced during the aggregate screening process. This material consists of small particles and stone dust, with the largest pieces measuring up to 3/8 inch. The fine texture and gradation make screenings an excellent choice for applications requiring a compactable, stable base.

The 3/8" minus sizing allows screenings to fill voids efficiently, creating a smooth, level surface that is easy to compact. This makes them ideal for use as a base layer beneath pavers, patios, walkways, and flagstone installations. Screenings are also commonly used for horse arenas, bike paths, and as a leveling agent for artificial turf. While their fine particles provide excellent compaction and stability, they may retain moisture and can become muddy in wet conditions, making them less suitable for high-drainage applications. Overall, screenings in this size range offer a cost-effective, versatile solution for both residential and commercial hardscape projects.
