Ace Hardware on Tavern Road in Alpine occupies the Alpine Creek Town Center as store #15065, serving the Viejas Casino & Resort corridor and surrounding East County communities. The store's landscaping and irrigation inventory supports the xeriscape and native-plant projects sourced through Alpine Landscape Materials on Tavern Road, where bulk soil, decomposed granite, and boulders move to the same Alpine properties. Departments span paint with computerized color matching, plumbing and electrical supplies, power tools, grilling equipment, lawn and garden products, and seasonal inventory rotations. The Ace Rewards loyalty program, key-cutting station, and propane exchange service operate alongside a fastener aisle deep enough to stock specialty hardware for RV and equestrian-property repairs common in Alpine CA. Plumbing-supply runs for residential well-pump and septic-system maintenance connect this store to the same contractor base served by Alpine Plumbing & Backhoe Inc on Alpine Blvd. Highest-demand seasonal categories include fire-resistant roofing sealants, ember-resistant vent screening, and defensible-space brush-clearance tools specified under Cal Fire's PRC 4291 requirements for Alpine's wildland-urban interface zone.
