Screenings (#4 To 1/2″, Chips)
Applications & Uses
Screenings Chips in #4 to 1/2" Size Range
Screenings chips in a #4 to 1/2" size range are finely crushed stone particles produced during the screening process of larger aggregates. This material consists of small, angular chips that offer a compactable and stable base, making it ideal for a variety of construction and landscaping applications.
The #4 to 1/2" size range provides a balance between fine and coarse particles, allowing for excellent compaction while still promoting adequate drainage. The chip attribute means the material is angular, which helps it lock together when compacted, reducing movement and settling over time. Common uses include sub-bases for patios, walkways, and paver installations, as well as backfill for retaining walls and pipe bedding. While screenings chips are easy to spread and compact, they may not be suitable for areas requiring high permeability or decorative finishes, as the fine particles can retain moisture and create a firmer surface.
