What is Stone Dust?

Stone dust, also known as stone screenings or rock dust, is a finely ground material made from pulverized stone. It is a by-product of the coarse stone crushing process and is typically used as a base material for pavers, patios, above-ground pools and other landscaping projects.

Stone dust is also used as a filler between stones in various landscaping applications, as well as in construction projects for its ability to bind and create a stable base.

Benefits of Stone Dust

One of the main benefits of stone dust is its ability to compact and create a solid, flat surface for a variety of applications. When used as a base, it helps prevent slippage and movement that can lead to uneven surfaces and damage over time.
What’s more, stone dust is highly permeable. It allows water to drain away, preventing water accumulation and damage.

Another benefit of stone dust is its affordability. It is generally less expensive than other landscaping materials. It is also versatile and can be used in a variety of landscaping and construction projects, making it a cost-effective choice for many applications.

Stone Dust Applications

Stone dust has a wide range of uses. Here are just a few examples:

  • Landscaping: stone dust is commonly used as a base material for landscaping projects such as patios, walkways and retaining walls. It provides a stable, level surface and helps prevent erosion and rock displacement over time.
  • Pothole Filling: stone dust can be used to fill potholes in driveways or parking lots. It compacts tightly to provide a smooth, uniform and durable surface.
  • Sports Fields: Stone dust is often used as a base material for sports fields, such as baseball diamonds and soccer fields. It provides a solid base for turf, prevents erosion and ensures good drainage.
  • Erosion Control: stone dust can be used in erosion control projects to stabilize slopes and prevent erosion. It can be mixed with grass and soil to create a stable, vegetated slope.
  • Flower Beds: stone dust can be used in flower beds as mulch or ground cover. It helps retain moisture and suppresses weeds, while providing a decorative element.
  • Construction Projects: Stone dust is often used as a base material for foundations. Its permeability ensures proper drainage and its ability to bind creates a stable base that can support heavy loads.
