Bulk sand, rock and treated salt, magnesium and calcium chloride, brine and pallets for Anchorage businesses, property managers and contractors.
Anchorage International Airport averages about 77.9 inches of snow a season (NOAA 1991–2020 normal), about 74 freeze-thaw days a year in our count of NOAA data, and about 18 nights a year at or below 0°F.
The Municipality says recent winters have run far above that: its 2024–25 snow plan notes the two prior winters averaged over 120 inches. Big snow years mean more plowing, more hauling and more refreeze.
Midtown offices, medical campuses, retail centers, multifamily lots and logistics yards near the port and airport all need traction fast. We quote delivery across the Bowl, with pickup and storm-night loading available.
Every lot, sidewalk and loading dock you treat is somebody's walk to work, a delivery driver's path, a patient's ride to the clinic door. Ice control protects people first and property second. It's also how contractors and owners show they took reasonable care when a slip-and-fall claim shows up months later.
Ice on walks, steps and entrances is where falls happen. Getting material down before the freeze and keeping it working through the storm is the whole job.
A documented, timely application program is one of the strongest positions a contractor or property owner can be in when a claim is filed. Colored treated salt helps: you can see it was applied, and so can a photo.
The right material at the right rate protects concrete, landscaping, vehicles and buildings. Over-applying wastes money and does damage. Under-applying leaves ice.

Plain sodium chloride by the ton. The workhorse for lots and roads above about 15°F.

Rock salt coated with liquid deicer and dye. Works colder, bounces less, and shows where it went.
More →
Anti-icing before the storm and pre-wetting at the spreader. By the gallon or tanker.
More →
Bagged rock salt, ice melt blends, mag and calcium chloride and pet-safe melt, by the pallet or the bag.

Storms don't keep office hours. When a major event is forecast, loading hours stretch so contractors can refill spreaders and V-boxes at 2 a.m. instead of waiting until morning, when the lots are already glazed.
Seasonal contract customers get first place in line when supplies get tight. Ask about storm loading in your quote.
Midtown, South Anchorage, East Anchorage, Eagle River and Chugiak are in the core area.
