Screenings - Screened

Screenings, also known as stone dust or crusher fines, are the fine particles left over after the crushing and screening of larger aggregates. The "screened" attribute means these fines have been carefully separated to ensure a consistent, uniform texture free from oversized particles.

The fine, powdery nature of screened screenings makes them ideal for applications where a smooth, compactable base is required. They are commonly used as a setting bed for pavers, flagstone, and bricks, as well as for filling joints between stones. In both residential and commercial projects, screened screenings provide excellent compaction and stability, making them a popular choice for walkways, patios, and underlayment for hardscape features. However, because of their fine texture, they are not suitable for drainage applications and may retain moisture, which can be a consideration in certain environments.
