HAULING — GRAVEL & ROCK
SCREENINGS
Fine crushed stone dust and small particles — the finishing layer for a tight, level surface.
OVERVIEW
The fine layer that levels everything out.
Screenings are the fine byproduct left over from crushing stone — smaller than crusher run, with a sand-like consistency. They compact into a smooth, level surface, which makes them the standard choice for setting pavers and finishing off a base layer.
Size
Fine — dust to 1/4 inch
Compaction
Very high — compacts smooth and tight
Typical Use
Paver base & leveling course
BEST USED FOR
Where this material fits
- Base layer under pavers and flagstone
- Leveling course over crusher run
- Pathways and walkways
- Filling joints between pavers
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Screenings Questions
What's the difference between screenings and crusher run?
Crusher run has a mix of stone sizes; screenings are the fine leftover material, closer to coarse sand. Screenings are typically used as a thin finishing or leveling layer, not a structural base on their own.
Are screenings the same as stone dust?
Yes — screenings and stone dust refer to the same fine material.
Can screenings be used for a driveway?
Not on their own — they’re best as a leveling layer over a compacted base like crusher run, not as the structural base itself.
