Materials we deliver to Van Nuys
Everything comes off the same yard in San Fernando and goes out on our own trucks, from one cubic yard up to a full load. Grouped by the job, so you can find the right material without knowing its trade name.
Foundations, footings and slabs
Coarse Builder’s Sand, Washed Concrete Sand and Fill Sand 30+ SE for bedding and backfill. Class 2 Base and Crushed Miscellaneous Base to compact underneath. C-Mix with 3/8 in, 1/2 in, 3/4 in or 1 in rock, blended and ready to mix on site.
Driveways, paths and drainage
3/8 in, 1/2 in and 3/4 in Crushed Rock, 3/8 in Pea Gravel and Drain Rock for French drains, trenches and paths. Decomposed Granite in natural, Gold and Pink, and Stabilized DG where the surface has to hold up under cars. Permeable Base where the plan calls for drainage.
Gardens, slopes and planting
Topsoil, Topsoil 70/30, Planters Mix (50/50) and Compost 30/70 for beds. Screened Fill Dirt to regrade. Premium Mulch and Gorilla Hair to hold a slope. Decorative rock such as Arctic White, Black Lava, Miners Gold and Honey Quartz for borders and dry creek beds.
Multiply length by width by depth in feet and divide by 27 for cubic yards, or use the cubic yards calculator. One cubic yard covers 108 square feet at 3 inches deep.
Materials for Van Nuys contractors and crews
Multi-load days
Bigger orders go out across more than one truck, and loads can follow the job: base first, sand behind it, rock when the trench is open. One material per truck, scheduled the way the job needs them.
Flat streets, easy drops
Van Nuys is flat Valley grid with alleys behind a lot of lots, so drops are usually simple: firm level ground, open sky over the spot, and an eye on the wires that cross the alleys. Mark the spot with a stake or a cone and the driver takes it from there.
Industrial and airport-side work
Around the airport and the industrial blocks off Raymer Street and Saticoy Street, base and washed sand go out for slabs, trenching and yard surfacing. If the job runs to a spec, call 800‑777‑6299 and read it to us before the first load.
How delivery to Van Nuys works
6 miles from our yard
Van Nuys is about the shortest run we make: our trucks come out of the yard in San Fernando down the 405 or straight down Sepulveda Boulevard. Enter your ZIP and you see what we deliver to your address, with delivery already in the price.
One to ten yards a load
Minimum order is one cubic yard. Each 10 wheel dump truck carries up to 10 cubic yards of most materials, less by weight for heavier products such as Class 2 base. Bigger orders go out across more than one load.
Access on Valley streets
The truck needs about 12 feet of clear width, firm level ground and open sky over the drop spot, because the bed lifts to roughly 22 feet to tip. Watch for low wires and branches, and mark the spot with a stake or a cone.
Van Nuys, street by street
Our delivery ZIPs for Van Nuys are 91401, 91405, 91406 and 91411, covering the blocks around Van Nuys Boulevard and the government center, the airport side, and out through Lake Balboa. Box ZIPs such as 91404 and 91409 are post office boxes only, so use your street ZIP when you order. Coming off the 405, the trucks work the grid from Sepulveda Boulevard, Victory Boulevard and Sherman Way.
There is not much terrain to think about here, so the checklist is short: save the curb or the alley approach on the day, and watch the wires over the alley if the drop goes in back. Ten cubic yards lands as a pile 13 to 15 feet across and 5 to 6 feet high, so leave room to work around it. If anything about the address is awkward, call 800‑777‑6299 before you order.
Do you deliver sand and gravel to Van Nuys?
Yes. Van Nuys, ZIPs 91401, 91405, 91406 and 91411, is inside our delivery area, on our own 10 wheel dump trucks out of San Fernando, a few miles up the road. Enter your ZIP at the top of the page to see what we deliver to your address, or call 800‑777‑6299.
How soon can you deliver to Van Nuys?
Orders placed before midnight go out the next day, seven days a week. Delays do happen, and location plays a part, so if one hits your order we let you know. For a particular day, say so when you order or call 800‑777‑6299.
Can you run several loads to one Van Nuys job?
Yes. Each 10 wheel truck carries up to 10 cubic yards of most materials, less by weight for heavier products such as Class 2 base, so a forty yard order simply goes out as several trucks. Each truck carries one material per delivery, so base and sand arrive as separate loads. For a particular day or sequence, say so when you order or call 800‑777‑6299.
Do you deliver to businesses and job sites, not just homes?
Yes. Homes, rentals, job sites, yards and commercial addresses all order the same way: enter the delivery ZIP, pick the material and the yards, and pay online. The minimum is one cubic yard, and the access needs are the clear width and overhead room described above.
Which Van Nuys ZIP codes do you deliver to?
91401, 91405, 91406 and 91411 for Van Nuys street addresses. Box ZIPs such as 91404 and 91409 are post office boxes only, so order with the ZIP the property sits in. Around the edges, Sherman Oaks, Panorama City and North Hills are inside the delivery area too.
What is the minimum order for a Van Nuys delivery?
One cubic yard, the same as everywhere we deliver, so a single yard of decomposed granite for a path goes out to Van Nuys as readily as ten yards of base for a slab. Each 10 wheel truck holds up to 10 cubic yards of most materials, less by weight for heavier products such as Class 2 base, and bigger orders go across more than one truck.
Is delivery to Van Nuys included in the price?
Yes. The price you see on each material is the delivered price to your Van Nuys address, and nothing is added for freight at checkout.
How much does a truckload of sand cost delivered to Van Nuys?
Every price on the site is already the delivered price, with nothing added for freight at checkout. Enter your ZIP at the top of the page, pick the material, and price the job as the cubic yards you need times the price per yard. A full truckload is up to 10 cubic yards of most materials, the minimum order is one cubic yard, and the cubic yards calculator works out the yards from length, width and depth.
