Screenings (1/4″)
Applications & Uses
Screenings in a 1/4" Size Range
Screenings in a 1/4" size range are finely crushed stone byproducts produced during the screening and crushing of larger aggregates. This material consists of small, angular particles that are typically less than 1/4" in diameter, resulting in a compactable, sand-like texture.
The fine 1/4" size makes screenings ideal for creating a smooth, stable base layer beneath pavers, patios, and walkways. Their small particle size allows for excellent compaction, reducing voids and providing a solid foundation that resists shifting. Screenings are also commonly used to fill joints between paving stones, as a leveling layer for flagstone installations, or as a cost-effective alternative to sand in certain applications. While screenings offer superior compaction and stability, they may retain moisture and are less effective for drainage compared to coarser aggregates.
