Bulk Material Delivery in Homer, AK

Is your bank cutting away, your swale filling in, or your slope washing out? Coarse stone answers it.

Alaska Rock Supply handles gravel and aggregate delivery in Homer, AK, and D-1 base course is the local name for the compacted layer under drives and pads.

This city sits in Kenai Peninsula Borough, where outwash gravel drains fast until it hits the silty clay beneath.

Materials for Homer Projects

Start with the big stone when the job is holding ground. Riprap, also called armor rock, is bank and shoreline armour and steep slope protection.

Section 611 grades it in Classes I, II and III by the weight of the individual stone, and it rules out rounded boulders and cobbles on slopes steeper than 2:1. Order Riprap for that work.

Where the stone has to be heavy and open, railroad ballast is coarse angular stone for track beds, heavy equipment pads and very wet ground. Order Railroad Ballast when you want a large open stone that water moves through.

Drainage stone sits a step finer. Drain rock, also called washed rock or 3/4 clean, has the fines taken out so water passes through instead of sitting.

Use Drain Rock for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.

For a compacted layer that carries a load. C-1 is the coarser of the two gradings when you want a deeper structural layer.

Order D-1 Base Course for driveways, parking pads and shed pads.

At the fine end, 3/8 inch crushed stone beds under pavers and tops a walkway, and mason sand is the finest washed sand for mortar and block work. Order 3/8" Crushed Stone or Mason Sand.

Ground and Conditions in Homer

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 the clay once it is wet.

Time a delivery to ground that is ready to work.

Across the Cook Inlet basin, from the Anchorage bowl to the Kenai, coarse outwash sand and gravel sits at the surface over silty clay that water cannot pass. Low ground and the toes of slopes hold water that has nowhere to go.

That is where a clean drainage layer earns its place, and where coarse stone holds a bank when breakup peaks. Rounded river rock does not lock together, so it is not slope armour.

Use Large River Rock for dry creek beds and low banks instead.
