1/2" Trap Rock Screenings

Trap rock screenings are a fine, angular crushed stone — the small chips and stone dust screened from trap rock (a hard, dense volcanic stone). Ranging from about half an inch down to fines, the material packs down tight and locks firm, which makes it a go-to setting bed under pavers, flagstone, and stepping stones, and a clean, compactable surface for pathways. In natural grays from light silvery to charcoal, it's as practical as it is tidy. Hello Gravel delivers it in bulk across the Amherst–Northampton area.

I had never used this company before and figured I would give them a chance. There were a couple of issues that they handles very quickly for me. They communicated with me immediately whenever I needed to talk to them and our gravel was delivered this afternoon. I will contact them again the next time I need some.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use the calculator with your length, width, and depth. A compacted 1" setting bed is common under pavers; path surfaces vary.
Delivered in bulk in the Amherst–Northampton service area. Choose an accessible, level drop spot clear of obstructions.
The stone dust and fines are what let screenings compact firm and lock together — that's what makes it a good base and setting bed, as opposed to a clean stone that stays loose.
Because it packs tight, it's meant for a firm base rather than open drainage — for drainage, a clean washed stone is the better choice.
Bulk stone, sand, and soil are not returnable once delivered. Use the calculator and round up slightly if you're close.
