How do I order material and choose a delivery date?

Select the product, enter the area measurements in the product calculator, then choose tons or yards. Add the quantity to the online order and select a delivery date at checkout. Have the drop location and truck approach ready before the selected date.

What drainage stone should I use for wet ground or a French drain?

Use Drain Rock for drainage layers, French drains and culvert outlets. It is also called washed rock or 3/4 clean. Keep drainage stone separate from D-1 Base Course so fines do not fill the open spaces needed for water movement.

What should be ready when the dump truck arrives in Fairbanks?

Clear the approach and make sure the truck can reach the chosen dump point without crossing soft or obstructed ground. Mark the pile location and keep people, vehicles and equipment out of the unloading area. The truck places one pile, so plan for spreading and compaction after delivery.

Fairbanks North Star Borough D-1 Base Course, AK

Alaska Rock Supply delivers bulk material across Fairbanks North Star Borough, including Fairbanks. D-1 Base Course is the working material for driveway repairs, pads and gravel road surfaces that need a compacted foundation. Across Alaska, where a site has muskeg or permafrost, planning for separation, thickness and drainage before placing gravel keeps the job on firmer footing.

Materials for Fairbanks North Star Borough projects

Choose material by the job and the finished surface you need. It compacts into a stable layer for driveways, pads and gravel roads.

For breakup-season driveway repair, remove loose material where needed, restore the shape of the drive, then place D-1 Base Course in manageable lifts and compact each lift. A pad for a cabin or shop needs a measured footprint, a planned finished grade and enough base depth for the intended load. Pit Run works for rough fill and grade building before the final surface is placed.

Drain Rock creates open space for water movement around drainage work and at an outlet. Screened Sand works for bedding and fine grading. Natural Pea Gravel and river rock are finish materials for walks, beds and driveway surfaces, rather than material for a road or camp road. Gravel roads take D-1 Base Course as the compacted driving layer.

Ground conditions in Fairbanks North Star Borough

Check the intended grade, existing soft spots, drainage path and access route before you calculate quantity. Across Alaska, a site with muskeg needs separation fabric under a substantial gravel section so the placed material does not press down into the soft ground. Where permafrost is present, plan the work around site conditions and keep surface water from collecting in the finished area.

Unsurfaced drives can soften during breakup season, so schedule material placement after the route and dump location are ready. Alaska's statewide frost-depth guide is 42 inches. Confirm local requirements and the depth needed for your project before building a pad, drainage feature or other permanent work.

Choosing the right material

For a driveway or gravel road, use D-1 Base Course and compact it in lifts. For a pad, start with D-1 Base Course over prepared ground, using geotextile where site conditions call for separation. For a drain, French drain or culvert outlet, choose Drain Rock or #57 stone to keep the drainage layer open.

For a patio base, use D-1 Base Course for the structural layer and Screened Sand for bedding where the finish calls for it. Use Screened Sand for fine leveling, then use Topsoil for lawn finishing and Garden soil for planted beds. Pit Run fits rough fill before final grading.
