Stone Screenings for Pathways in Chugiak, AK

Order gravel and aggregate delivery in Chugiak, AK online. Alaska Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton or by the yard, and a dump truck tips it at your site.

Start with D-1 base course for anything that has to carry weight. In the Cook Inlet basin, ground that drains fast in one spot can hold water a few feet away.

Materials for Chugiak Projects

Fines and screenings do the finish work on paths and walkways. Stone screenings are the crusher fines that pass the finest screen.

They pack underfoot into a firm surface and lock pavers into place as a bedding and joint material. For a garden path, they give you a walkable top that stays put.

Under that path, build the structural layer with D-1 base course. D-1 goes under drives, parking pads, shed pads and flatwork.

C-1 base course is the coarser of the two gradings and suits a deeper structural layer.

Top the path with walkway gravel, a finer gravel that packs underfoot. For paver joints and thin bedding layers, stone screenings fill the gap.

A few supporting materials cover the rest of a Chugiak yard:

• Top soil for lawns, beds and grade repair.
• Drain rock, also called washed rock or 3/4 clean, for French drains and downspout runs. Fines are washed out so water moves through it.
• Riprap, or armor rock, for bank armour and steep slope protection. Section 611 grades it in Classes I, II and III by stone weight.

Ground and Conditions in Chugiak

The failure shows up first as a drive that ruts and pumps in spring. Across the Cook Inlet basin, from the Anchorage bowl to the Kenai, coarse outwash sand and gravel sits at the surface over silty clay.

Water drops through the gravel fast, then stops at the clay. Low ground and the toes of slopes hold what has nowhere to go.

Breakup delivers a winter of snow in a few weeks onto ground that is still partly frozen. That is when a base built too thin loses its shape.

The fix is a base layer thick enough and graded enough to spread the load. D-1 base course compacted over a drainage layer handles that better than loose fill.

Timing matters as much as material. Base, drive and hardscape work runs from breakup in spring to freeze-up in autumn.

Thawing ground in April will not compact, and neither will clay once it is wet. Hard winters here cycle the ground through freeze and thaw, which lifts flatwork and heaves a gravel drive built too thin.
