Dry Screenings

Dry screenings are finely crushed stone particles, typically produced as a byproduct during the crushing and screening of larger aggregates. With a powdery texture and no added moisture, dry screenings are ideal for applications where a compact, stable base is required.

The absence of moisture in dry screenings makes them easy to handle and spread, reducing the risk of clumping during installation. This material is commonly used as a setting bed for pavers, flagstone, and bricks, as well as for filling joints and leveling surfaces in both residential and commercial landscaping projects. While dry screenings offer excellent compaction and stability, they can generate dust during handling and installation, so dust control measures may be necessary in enclosed or sensitive areas.
