Fine Screenings

Fine screenings are a byproduct of the crushing process, consisting of small, angular stone particles and stone dust. Their fine texture makes them an excellent choice for applications where a smooth, compactable base is essential.

The fine attribute of these screenings allows for superior compaction, creating a stable and level surface that resists shifting. This makes them ideal for use as a base layer beneath pavers, patios, and walkways, as well as for filling joints between stones. Fine screenings are also commonly used in horse arenas, bike paths, and as a leveling agent for artificial turf installations. While their compactability is a major advantage, they may not provide optimal drainage compared to coarser aggregates, so they are best suited for areas where water runoff is controlled.
