Screenings (#10 Minus)
Applications & Uses
Screenings in a #10 Minus Size Range
Screenings in a #10 minus size range are finely crushed stone particles, typically produced as a byproduct during the crushing and screening of larger aggregates. These particles are smaller than 3/16 inch, resulting in a powdery, sand-like material that is easy to spread and compact.
The #10 minus sizing means that all particles pass through a #10 sieve, making screenings ideal for applications where a smooth, stable surface is required. This fine texture allows for excellent compaction, making screenings a popular choice for setting pavers, creating walkways, or as a base layer beneath patios and flagstone. In addition to residential landscaping, screenings are also used in commercial settings for pipe bedding and as a leveling layer under concrete slabs. While their fine size ensures minimal voids and a firm finish, screenings can retain moisture and may not provide optimal drainage compared to coarser aggregates.
