Screenings (Paver Base)
Applications & Uses
Screenings as Paver Base
Screenings used as a paver base are finely crushed stone byproducts, typically produced during the crushing and screening of larger aggregates. These particles are much smaller than traditional gravel, often resembling coarse sand or stone dust. Their fine texture allows them to fill gaps and create a smooth, stable surface beneath pavers.
The use of screenings as a paver base is ideal for both residential and commercial hardscape projects, such as patios, walkways, and driveways. Their compactability ensures a solid foundation that resists shifting and settling over time, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of paved surfaces. While screenings provide excellent stability and ease of leveling, they may retain moisture and can be less effective for drainage compared to coarser aggregates. Overall, screenings are a cost-effective, reliable choice for creating a long-lasting paver base.
