Landscaping Material Delivered in Ninilchik, AK

What do you order for a bed, a dry creek bed or a pad of ground cover? For gravel and aggregate delivery in Ninilchik, AK, Alaska Rock Supply sells it by the ton or the yard and a dump truck tips it on your site.

Decorative stone covers most of that ground, and D-1 base course goes under anything that has to stay flat.

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 moves through the gravel fast and then stops at the clay.

Ninilchik sits in Kenai Peninsula Borough, and we deliver here along with Kenai, Sterling, Homer, Soldotna and Seward. A dump truck arrives and tips your load in one pile on the site.

Bulk loads are heavy and they come loose, so have the drop spot clear before the truck arrives. Once the pile is down, you move it from there.

Materials for Ninilchik Projects

Decorative and rounded stone does the surface work on beds, borders and dry creek beds. Nothing under it has to compact, so you can order it for looks and for cover rather than for structure.

Large River Rock is rounded cobble for dry creek beds, decorative edging and low banks. River Rock is the smaller rounded stone for beds, borders and ground cover.

Rounded stone does not lock together, so keep it off slopes that need armour.

3/8" Natural Pea Gravel is a rounded pea sized gravel for paths, dog runs and play areas. Stone Screenings are the crusher fines that pass the finest screen, and they pack down underfoot for a path or a paver joint.

Where a bed meets a drive or a pad, the base work takes a different material.

C-1 is the coarser grading in the same table when a deeper structural layer is wanted.

For drainage, Drain Rock is clean washed stone with the fines taken out. It suits French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs, and Subsection 703-2.08 calls the graded layer a filter blanket.

Ground and Conditions in Ninilchik

Across the Cook Inlet basin, from the Anchorage bowl to the Kenai, the ground comes in two layers that behave in opposite ways. Coarse outwash sand and gravel sits at the surface, and silty clay and fine sand lie below it.

The gravel takes water fast until it reaches the clay, and then it stops. Low ground and the toes of slopes hold water that has nowhere to go, so a pad built on that low ground needs a drainage layer before anything else goes over it.

Spring breakup delivers the whole winter's snow in a few weeks onto ground that is still partly frozen. Hard winters here also cycle the ground through freeze and thaw rather than freezing once, and that cycling lifts flatwork and heaves a drive built too thin.

Thawing ground in spring will not compact, and neither will the clay once it is wet. Base, drive and hardscape work runs from breakup to freeze-up, so a load placed on soft ground early in the season will not tighten up.

Bank cutting along the glacial rivers and creeks peaks at breakup, and bare graded ground rills before it is covered. Riprap is graded by stone weight in Classes I, II and III under Section 611, and that section rules out rounded boulders and cobbles on slopes steeper than 2:1.
