Screenings (#4 Minus, Unwashed)
Applications & Uses
Screenings, Unwashed, #4 Minus
Screenings in a #4 minus size range are finely crushed stone particles that pass through a #4 sieve, resulting in a blend of small fragments and stone dust. As an unwashed material, these screenings retain their natural dust and fines, which can enhance compaction but may introduce more dust during handling and installation.
The #4 minus sizing makes these screenings ideal for creating a stable, compacted base layer beneath pavers, flagstone, or concrete slabs. Their fine texture fills voids effectively, providing a smooth, level surface. Unwashed screenings are also commonly used for pathways, horse arenas, and as a leveling agent in landscaping projects. While the unwashed attribute improves binding and compaction, it can be less suitable for drainage applications and may create dust during dry conditions. Overall, unwashed #4 minus screenings offer excellent stability and affordability for a wide range of residential and commercial uses.
