Our Available Garden Screenings

As a leading provider of garden and landscape supplies in Melbourne, we can provide you with quality screening products to meet any need. We offer both 7mm screenings and 14mm screenings, made from resilient basalt bluestone material.

7mm Screenings

A 7mm screening is a 4-7mm aggregate that has been screened to ensure that any finer sized particles in it have been taken out. 7mm screenings are commonly used by plumbers for drainage applications. This type of screening is often placed around pipes and can also be used to create a finer textured type of concrete.

14mm Screenings

14mm screenings are 10-14mm aggregates that are screened prior to being installed to make sure that any present finer sized particles are removed. This type of aggregate is primarily used to generate concrete. In addition to being big enough to be used as a drainage aggregate, 14mm screenings can also be utilised to decorate garden spaces around homes and workplaces.

How Garden Screenings Can Improve Your Project

Choosing the right aggregate has a direct impact on the outcome of your job. Garden screenings are designed to promote proper drainage while offering versatility in construction settings, suitable for plumbing trenches and concrete preparation. They also blend well with washed sand when producing block fill.

Better Drainage Performance

Water needs a clear path to move through soil. 7mm screening allows water to flow freely around pipes and foundations, reducing the risk of pooling. When used correctly, screenings support long-term drainage without shifting or compacting unevenly.

Consistent Concrete Results

When mixed with sand and cement, 7mm screenings help create a smoother concrete texture. The uniform grading supports even distribution throughout the mix, meaning fewer inconsistencies during pouring and a more predictable finish once cured.

Flexible Use in Garden Projects

Garden screenings aren’t limited to construction, as they can also be useful in landscaping. When used around retaining walls or garden beds, screenings can provide structure beneath the surface while maintaining a neat finish.
