Stone is a great choice for backfill because it’s durable and offers great drainage; however, some stones work better than others. Explore the five best stones for backfill below. 1. SCREENINGS. Screenings, otherwise known as FA5 or limestone screenings, are a great choice for backfill because it compacts well. Because of this, screenings are

Stone dust is widely used as a setting bed for any of the various types of stone pavers (flagstone pavers such as bluestone being an example) used by homeowners in small projects. It can be smoothed to create a very flat surface and it is strong enough to support the weight of stone pavers, which can be quite significant.

Crushed stone: If you hear the generic “crushed stone” term, it usually refers to stone that has a mixture of stone dust in it. This type of stone is best used for a base when heavy compaction is needed. As a result, it is typically used for the base of concrete and paving projects, foundations of structures, and driveway bases.

Screenings are most commonly used as a setting bed and joint filler for pavers. This is because of its compaction properties that help form a sturdy, non-porous upper layer that protects from moisture seeping into the base layer. The interlocked screenings will also prevent weed and grass growth from sprouting up between pavers.

The raw screenings from a 6 mm Step Screen contained about 320 mg BOD 5 per g of dried solids; after high-intensity washing and compaction their BOD 5 content was consistently reduced to well below 20 mg per g DS. The average BOD 5 removal ratio was over 95 %. The solids concentration of the compacted screenings was around 45 % DS.

The loose drop weight of a relatively uniform (all the rocks are similar size and shape) 3/4" stone will be about 80-90% depending on the stone (angularity and phi). Presuming that you are compacting to 100% of some form of "proctor density", because you''re awesome at compacting and have a monster machine (and thin lifts), that''s 100/80=125%.
