Screened Crushed Stone in a 1/4" Size Range

Screened crushed stone in a 1/4" size range is a finely processed aggregate produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks and then passing the material through screens to ensure uniform sizing. The screening process removes oversized particles and fines, resulting in a clean, consistent product ideal for precision applications.

The 1/4" size offers excellent compaction and a smooth finish, making it particularly suitable for use as a bedding layer under pavers, patios, and walkways. Its small, angular particles interlock well, providing stability while still allowing for adequate drainage. This material is also commonly used for pipe bedding, joint filling, and as a top dressing for driveways or pathways. The screened attribute means less dust and debris, which is beneficial for cleaner installations and reduced maintenance. However, due to its fine size, it may not be ideal for heavy load-bearing applications or areas requiring significant drainage.
