Bulk Material Delivery in Clear, AK

If your drainage is backing up or your pad is sinking, gravel and aggregate delivery in Clear, AK starts with the right stone. Alaska Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton, and D-1 base course is the local term for the graded base that goes under drives and pads.

Clear sits in Denali Borough, on ground that is wind laid silt over ice rich material. Water has nowhere to go once it reaches the frozen layer, so what you put in the ground matters as much as what you put on top of it.

Materials for Clear Projects

Washed stone is the answer when water has to move. Drain rock, also called washed rock or 3/4 clean, has the fines taken out, so water passes through instead of sitting against your foundation.

Use drain rock for French drains, drywells, foundation perimeter drains and downspout runs. The same clean stone is specified in Alaska as a filter blanket, the graded drainage layer that keeps silt from migrating into the drain.

For a finer drainage bed, #57 Stone is a clean open graded stone about 3/4 inch, and #8 Crushed Stone is a small clean stone at roughly 3/8 inch. Both are named by inch size first here, which is how aggregate is sold in this state.

Where ground is very wet or a track bed or equipment pad needs a large open stone, Railroad Ballast is coarse and angular. It drains hard and stands up under load.

Above the drainage layer, the structural work goes to base course and fill.

The coarser grading in that same table, C-1, is the one to ask about when a deeper structural layer is wanted.

Pit run is not a crushed product. It is unscreened gravel as it comes out of the pit, and it belongs under the base course, not as a wearing surface.

For the surface itself, Driveway Gravel tops a finished base, and 3/4" Crushed Stone handles drive surfacing, trench backfill and general work. Stone Screenings bed pavers and pack a path.

Ground and Conditions in Clear

Timing is the first decision. The working season runs between breakup and freeze-up, and frozen ground stops compaction for most of the year.

Ground thawing in spring is the worst of both.

Across the Tanana valley and the Interior uplands, the soil is wind laid silt over ice rich ground. Permafrost under that silt stops water moving down, so ground that looks free draining holds it near the surface.

That is why thaw settlement wrecks a pad built on ice rich ground, and why a drainage layer matters even where the surface looks dry. Surface water held against a foundation finds the silt and cuts it.

Breakup flooding and ice jams on the Tanana and its tributaries move a lot of water fast, and bare silt erodes very easily once the cover is off. Erosion control on exposed ground is worth planning before you strip it.

Winter here is the deepest and longest freezing in the state. No statewide frost figure applies, and the local building official sets footing depth.

On ice rich ground the governing question is keeping the ground frozen rather than founding below a frost line.
