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.
