Screenings - Crusher Fines, Prepared

Screenings with a "crusher fines, prepared" attribute are finely crushed stone byproducts produced during the aggregate screening process. These materials consist of small, angular particles that result from crushing larger stones, creating a compactable and stable base material.

The "crusher fines, prepared" designation means these screenings are processed for uniformity and optimal compaction, making them ideal for applications where a smooth, stable surface is required. This fine texture allows for excellent interlocking, reducing voids and minimizing shifting. Common uses include pathways, patios, paver bases, and as a leveling layer beneath flagstone or brick. In commercial settings, they are often used for horse arenas, walking trails, and as a base for artificial turf. Pros include easy compaction, good drainage, and a smooth finish, while a potential con is that the fine particles may track or become dusty in dry conditions.
