What Is Screening & Why It Matters

Screening is the separation of bulk materials like topsoil, subsoil, compost and aggregates into sizes specific to your requirements using vibrating screens and advanced sorting technology. Properly screening materials is crucial for:

• Product consistency: Screened soils, mulches and aggregates have a controlled particle size tailored to your needs. This ensures consistency whether you need high-performance bedding material or seed-friendly topsoil.
• Waste reduction: We can screen out contaminants from recycled materials on-site and recover fine soils, gravel and organic materials suitable for reuse. This diverts recoverables from landfills.
• Safety: Removing oversized objects like roots and debris ensures safety while handling and spreading. Screened soils also compact better for secure foundations.
