Sand & GravelFA5 Screenings
FA5 Screenings is a fine crushed limestone ideal for paver joints, horse arenas, base layers, and concrete and asphalt mixes. Its compact, workable texture makes it one of the most versatile fine aggregates available.
FA5 Screenings — also known as Screenings and Ag Lime — is a finely crushed limestone aggregate produced as a byproduct of larger stone processing. Its small particle size and natural limestone composition give it a uniquely workable texture that compacts firmly while remaining easy to grade and shape, making it a favorite for both construction and agricultural applications.
In construction, FA5 performs reliably as a base layer and bedding material for pavers, paths, and patios, filling and locking joints while providing a smooth, stable surface. Its fine gradation also makes it a useful component in concrete and asphalt mixes, and its drainage properties suit it well for drainage system applications. In equestrian settings, FA5 is a popular choice for horse arenas, offering a firm yet forgiving surface with good footing and drainage.
Whether on a jobsite or a farm, FA5 Screenings delivers consistent, dependable performance across a wide range of uses.
Common Uses: Drainage systems, concrete and asphalt, base layers, pavers, paths & patios, and horse arenas.
