Screenings (1/4″ Minus)
Applications & Uses
Screenings in a 1/4" Minus Size Range
Screenings in a 1/4" 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 1/4 inch and the rest being even finer. The "minus" designation means all particles are 1/4 inch or smaller, resulting in a compactable, stable material.
The fine texture and gradation of 1/4" 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 stability and a tight finish are priorities.
