Aggregates & Screenings in Yarram & Across the Gippsland Region

Screenings/Aggregates

Our range of quality products here at Yarram Quarries includes premium screenings and aggregates for residential and commercial projects across the Gippsland region. Our range of screenings can be used for a wide range of applications and provides various options for jobs of all sizes.

What Are Screenings?

Screenings, or aggregate, are smaller rock particles produced through the crushing process. These materials are vital in construction and landscaping due to their excellent compaction properties and ability to add stability to structures.

Types of Screenings

We provide a range of screenings in different sizes to meet your specific needs:

  • 7mm: This fine aggregate is used for detailed work and for creating smooth surfaces. It is mostly used in concrete mixes for fine finishes.
  • 10mm: Slightly larger, this size is perfect for use in pathways, driveways, and as a base layer for pavers. 
  • 14mm: Often used in drainage systems, this aggregate size provides efficient water flow and prevents blockages. 
  • 20mm: This larger aggregate is a good choice for heavy-duty applications, such as large-scale drainage systems, concrete mixes, and general landscaping.

Applications of Screenings

Screenings are versatile materials used in various projects:

  • Driveways: The smaller particles compact well, creating a smooth, durable, and aesthetically pleasing finish.
  • Pathways: Perfect for creating stable and visually appealing pathways in gardens, parks, and public areas. 
  • Drainage for Septic Tanks: Screenings ensure proper water flow and eliminate blockages, providing efficiency and adding to the lifespan of the septic system.
  • Concrete Mixes: Smaller screenings are used in concrete mixes to add strength and stability to the final product. 
  • Backfilling: Used for backfilling trenches and around utility pipes, screenings offer stability and prevent shifting or settling. 
  • Erosion Control: Screenings can be used in erosion control measures, such as retaining walls and embankments, to eliminate soil erosion and stabilise the landscape.
