Kodiak Island Borough, AK D-1 Base Course Delivery
Alaska Rock Supply provides bulk material delivery across Kodiak Island Borough, including Kodiak. D-1 Base Course is the working aggregate for driveways, pads and road sections that need a compacted foundation. Across Alaska, where a site has muskeg, use geotextile and a thick gravel lift to limit settlement through the first summer. During breakup season, an unsurfaced drive can turn soft and muddy, so a finished base layer matters.

Materials for Kodiak Island Borough Projects
D-1 Base Course, also called D-1 or D1 gravel, is the specified base aggregate for compacted driveways, building pads and gravel road work. Pit Run works for bulk fill and rough grading where a more varied aggregate is suitable. Drain Rock is clean stone used where water needs an open path around drains, culverts and foundation edges.
For breakup-season driveway repair, cut out soft sections as needed, place D-1 Base Course in manageable lifts and compact each lift before adding the next. A driveway, cabin pad, shop pad or gravel road needs the compacted D-1 base, rather than Natural Pea Gravel or Large river rock. Pit Run suits broad fill work where the finished elevation will receive a base layer above it.
Use Drain Rock around a French drain, at a culvert outlet or beside a drainage route where water needs space to move. Screened Sand works as bedding under selected work and for final leveling. Stone screenings fit fine leveling under pavers. Natural Pea Gravel and Large river rock are finish materials for walks, beds and driveway surfaces, not for a road or camp road.
Ground Conditions in Kodiak Island Borough
Walk the site before ordering and identify soft areas, standing water, existing drainage paths, slope changes and the final grade. Across Alaska, a site with muskeg needs geotextile beneath a thick gravel lift so the pad has separation and support. Plan the placement area before the truck arrives, since moving a pile after unloading adds work.
The statewide frost-depth guide is 42 inches, and local conditions should be confirmed before setting final excavation or utility depths. For a pad or driveway section, remove unsuitable material where needed, install fabric on soft ground and build the D-1 Base Course in compacted lifts. Base depth depends on the intended load, site preparation and drainage plan.
Choosing the Right Material
Use D-1 Base Course under a driveway, slab area, cabin pad or gravel road, then compact it in lifts. Use Pit Run for rough fill before the finished base is placed. Use Drain Rock for a drain, French drain or culvert outlet. Use Stone screenings for a patio bedding layer, and use Screened Sand for leveling and bedding work. For lawn grading, use Screened Sand as a leveling layer before the selected growing soil is placed.
