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 and the rest being progressively finer. The "minus" designation means all particles are 3/8" or smaller, resulting in a compactable, stable material.
The fine texture and gradation of 3/8" minus screenings make them ideal for creating a smooth, level base for pavers, patios, and walkways. They are also commonly used as a bedding layer under flagstone or as a joint filler between paving stones. The small particle size allows for excellent compaction, reducing voids and providing a solid foundation, but it also means drainage is limited compared to coarser aggregates. Screenings are not typically used where high permeability is required, but they excel in applications where a firm, stable surface is essential.Applications & Uses
