Recommended Uses and Project Types
Nome County projects often require proven aggregates and careful planning. Below are common uses and the materials we recommend.
Driveways and Access Roads
For year-round access that resists frost movement, combine Driveway Gravel with a compacted layer of 3/4 inch Crushed Stone or Road Base. A bearing course and proper drainage help reduce maintenance in spring thaw.
Foundations and Building Pads
Use Crusher Run or Crushed Concrete as a compacted base under foundations. For perimeter drainage, add Drain Rock to move water away from structures.
Gardens, Parks, and Play Areas
Screened Topsoil improves plant establishment in short growing seasons. For play areas choose Playground Sand or Pea Gravel where appropriate.
Installation Tips for Nome County Conditions
Working in Nome County requires knowledge of permafrost, short summers, and saline coastal conditions. Follow these local best practices for long-lasting results.
Addressing Permafrost
- Avoid placing fine-grained saturated soils directly on permafrost.
- Use coarse aggregates like 3/4 inch Crushed Stone to promote drainage and reduce frost heave.
- Raise structures on compacted gravel pads and consider insulation techniques for foundations.
Drainage and Erosion Control
- Install perimeter drains with Drain Rock and filter fabric to protect trenches during freeze/thaw cycles.
- Use River Rock and vegetation to reduce shoreline erosion near Norton Sound.
Material Selection for Durability
Prefer angular, well-graded aggregates (crusher run, 3/4 inch crushed stone, and road base) for structural applications. Decorative aggregates such as Pea Gravel and Decomposed Granite work well for light-use surfaces.
