Limestone Screenings, 1/4" Minus

Limestone screenings in a 1/4" minus size range are a finely crushed aggregate produced from high-quality limestone. This material consists of small particles and stone dust, resulting from the screening process during limestone crushing. The "minus" designation means all particles are 1/4 inch or smaller, creating a compactable, stable base.

The fine texture and angular shape of limestone screenings make them ideal for applications where a smooth, level surface is required. They are commonly used as a base layer for patios, walkways, paver installations, and under artificial turf. The small particle size allows for excellent compaction, reducing the risk of shifting or settling over time. Additionally, limestone's natural binding properties help lock the material in place, though it may not provide optimal drainage compared to coarser aggregates. Overall, 1/4" minus limestone screenings are valued for their stability, ease of installation, and ability to create a solid, even foundation for a variety of residential and commercial projects.
