Ground and Conditions in Soldotna

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 over silty clay and fine sand laid down in a glacial marine setting.

Water runs through the gravel fast until it hits the clay. Then it stops.

That is why a thin base fails here. The gravel layer lets water down, the clay holds it, and a drive or pad built too thin moves under the freeze and thaw cycling of a long shoulder season at each end of winter.

Low ground and the toes of slopes hold water that has nowhere to go.

Spring breakup delivers the winter's snow onto ground that is still partly frozen. Thawing ground in April will not compact, and neither will the clay once it is wet.

Build the structural layer thick enough to bridge the soft layer beneath it, and put clean drainage stone where water collects. Base, drive and hardscape work runs from breakup in spring to freeze-up in autumn.

Materials for Soldotna Projects

Paths and walkways here take a finer material that packs underfoot. Start with Stone Screenings, the crusher fines that pass the finest screen.

Screenings bed pavers and surface a path. They knit together underfoot and hold a joint line.

Walkway Gravel is the other half of the pair. It is a finer gravel that packs underfoot, for garden paths and walkways between beds.

Under either one, you still need a compacted layer that carries the load. That is D-1 Base Course.

D-1 goes under driveways, parking pads, shed and building pads, and the compacted layer under flatwork. C-1 is the coarser of the two gradings in Table 703-2, for where a deeper structural layer is wanted.

Lay pavers on a setting bed of Screened Sand, and use Mason Sand where you want the smoothest bed or mortar for block work.

Where water has to move, use Drain Rock, clean washed stone with the fines taken out, for French drains, foundation perimeter drains, drywells and downspout runs.
