Screenings (3/8″ Minus, Crusher Fines)
Applications & Uses
Screenings - Crusher Fines, 3/8" Minus
Screenings with a crusher fines attribute in a 3/8" minus size range are a finely crushed stone byproduct produced during the aggregate screening process. This material consists of small particles and stone dust, resulting from the mechanical crushing of larger rocks. The "3/8" minus" designation means all particles are 3/8 inch or smaller, creating a compactable, stable surface.
The fine texture and angularity of crusher fines make them ideal for applications where a smooth, firm base is required. Common uses include pathways, patios, paver bases, and as a leveling layer beneath flagstone or concrete slabs. In landscaping, they are valued for their ability to lock together tightly, reducing weed growth and erosion. While excellent for compaction and stability, crusher fines may not provide optimal drainage compared to coarser aggregates, and can become muddy in heavy rain. Overall, 3/8" minus screenings are a versatile, cost-effective choice for both residential and commercial hardscape projects.
