Supplying Irvine: The Bedrock of Every Great Project
Irvine is more than just master-planned neighborhoods and California sun. It’s a hotbed of growth and transformation, tech campuses taking shape near the Spectrum, master-planned communities rising in Eastwood Village, sports fields, business parks, and luxury apartment sites pushing ground every season. None of this happens without reliable aggregate, sand, stone, and soil.
FST Sand & Gravel is deeply familiar with the specific needs of Irvine area projects. We’ve seen the city grow, and we know what makes an aggregate supplier indispensable here. From urgent timeline demands for commercial builds near UCI and everyday deliveries for residential improvement jobs in Woodbridge or Northwood, we know the shortcuts, the backroads, the challenges, and the strict quality requirements that separate a good build from a great one.
