If Los Angeles is the canvas, then the bones of this city are sand, gravel, and stone. From sun-baked driveway pavers in South LA to the steel-and-glass marvels of Downtown, everything stands on a bedrock of aggregates. For over 60 years, FST Sand & Gravel has supplied the backbone for countless projects across the City of Angels. We are not just another supplier; we are your trusted partner in turning visions, engineering specs, and community dreams into concrete reality.
Being a stone, sand, and gravel supplier for LA means understanding the city’s constant transformation. New roads thread through old neighborhoods, skyscrapers rise from lots that once grew wildflowers, and infrastructure projects pulse like arteries across the basin. When contractors, developers, or homeowners need reliable, high-quality construction materials delivered on time and on budget, FST Sand & Gravel answers the call with generations of experience, a relentless commitment to quality, and a deep respect for what makes Los Angeles unique.
Meeting Los Angeles Construction Demands, One Truckload at a Time
Los Angeles demands more than just aggregates; it demands resilience and flexibility. Major infrastructure upgrades, ongoing residential construction, and commercial expansions never stop. The LA region is a patchwork of city codes, neighborhood quirks, and logistical puzzles, where access can be tight, deadlines are ironclad, and materials must be as consistent as they are strong.
FST Sand & Gravel delivers a comprehensive range of materials tailored for the complexity and scope of LA’s projects. From sturdy crushed rock for seismic stability to graded sand for sports fields and playgrounds, our materials play a hidden, but essential, role in everything from LAX runways to backyard patios in Silver Lake. We understand that each truckload isn’t just a pile of gravel or sand, it’s the foundation for something that will serve, support, and shelter Angelenos for decades.

Wide Selection of Aggregates for Any Los Angeles Project
When you gaze across Los Angeles, sprawling from Santa Monica’s shimmering beach to East LA’s vibrant streets, the sheer variety of builds is staggering. No single aggregate fits them all. At FST Sand & Gravel, our quarry products are as diverse as LA itself. Our comprehensive selection includes:
- Crushed Stone & Rock: Essential for road base, pour foundations, parking lots, and retaining walls. Options include ¾” and 1 ½” crushed rock, #57 rock, and specialty products like Birds Eye and Pea Gravel, perfect for decorative landscaping or drainage.
- Washed Sands & Concrete Sand: Clean and consistent, for masonry, concrete mixes, cable bedding, playgrounds, and beach replenishment. Our SE30 Fill Sand and Washed Plaster are popular throughout LA’s bustling construction scene.
- Aggregate Base Courses: Class 2 Base and Crushed Aggregate Base for subbase and roadwork, providing robustness and uniform compaction even under heavy traffic.
- Rip Rap and Erosion Control: Large riprap and boulders, including Class III, IV, and V, protect against LA’s rare but dramatic storms, channeling runoff and fortifying the LA River and Arroyo Seco banks.
- Clean Fill Dirt: For landscaping in Hancock Park estates or greening Metro pocket parks, our clean fill dirt is perfect for your next grading or infill project.
From massive infrastructure upgrades in the LA Metro corridor to artistically inclined landscaping projects in Venice or Echo Park, our aggregates fit seamlessly into any project scope.
Local Knowledge, Lasting Partnerships
There’s nothing generic about construction in Los Angeles. Tangles of traffic, permitting oddities, early-morning noise ordinances, every jobsite is a chessboard with its own quirks. FST Sand & Gravel is more than familiar with LA’s distinct topography, climate, and logistical challenges. We serve LA’s diverse neighborhoods with customized solutions, a fleet of delivery vehicles of all sizes and adaptable delivery schedules, and a willingness to go the extra mile.
Picture this: a hillside development in Hollywood needs precision-timed aggregate drops before the sunrise rush, while a Caltrans road crew on the 405 calls for rapid-response fill material after a late-night closure. We thrive on these challenges, treating every order, be it five tons or five hundred, with equal urgency and care. Our dispatchers, drivers, and yard crews know the difference between Wilshire’s condo builds and South Gate’s warehouse expansions, and tailor every delivery to match those demands.
Our relationships are built on trust, responsiveness, and the knowledge that in LA, time lost is money burned. We’re proud that so many of our clients, contractors, homebuilders, city departments, return again and again, knowing they’ll receive the same high standard we’ve upheld for decades.
Commitment to Sustainability in a Changing Los Angeles
As the City of Angels works toward a greener, more resilient future, the demand for sustainable construction practices intensifies. FST Sand & Gravel places environmental stewardship at the heart of its operations, striving to minimize our impacts while still meeting LA’s growing needs.
Sourcing locally mined rock and aggregates, reducing the distance materials travel, and optimizing delivery schedules all translate to lower emissions across LA’s crowded highways. By supporting sustainable development, be it LEED-certified buildings in Downtown LA or restoring natural parklands along the Ballona Creek, we help lay the literal groundwork for a future where Los Angeles can keep growing without losing its soul.
