Screenings (Natural)
Applications & Uses
Natural Screenings
Natural screenings are finely crushed stone byproducts produced during the aggregate screening process. Unlike manufactured or processed alternatives, natural screenings retain their original mineral composition and texture, offering a more organic appearance and feel. The fine particle size of screenings makes them ideal for creating a compact, stable base layer.
This material is commonly used for setting pavers, flagstone patios, and walkways, as well as for filling joints between stones. Its natural attribute means less dust and a more environmentally friendly option, while the fine texture allows for excellent compaction and a smooth finish. However, because screenings are so fine, they may not provide optimal drainage and can become hard-packed over time, making them less suitable for areas requiring high permeability. Overall, natural screenings are a versatile choice for both residential and commercial landscaping and hardscaping projects.
