Screenings (1/4″ Minus, Dust)
Applications & Uses
Screenings with Dust, 1/4" Minus
Screenings in a 1/4" minus size with dust are a finely crushed stone byproduct produced during the screening of larger aggregates. This material consists of small particles and stone dust, resulting in a compactable, stable base layer. The presence of dust helps the screenings bind together, creating a firm surface once compacted.
The 1/4" minus size ensures excellent compaction and minimal voids, making these screenings ideal for use as a base under pavers, flagstone, or bricks in patios and walkways. They are also commonly used for leveling surfaces, filling gaps, and as a bedding layer for various hardscape projects. The fine texture and dust content provide a smooth, even finish but may generate dust during installation. While not suitable for drainage applications due to their low permeability, screenings with dust are valued for their stability and ease of use in both residential and commercial landscaping projects.
