Materials we deliver to Pacific Palisades
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.
Rebuilding in Pacific Palisades after the Palisades Fire
One order can cover the whole rebuild
Fill dirt to bring the pad back to grade, Class 2 base under the new slab, builder’s sand and concrete mix for the footings, then decomposed granite and topsoil when the landscape goes back in. It all comes off the same yard, so it can go out phase by phase as the rebuild moves, one truck at a time.
City of Los Angeles permits
Pacific Palisades is part of the City of Los Angeles, so rebuild permits and inspections run through LADBS rather than a local city hall. Yes, we deliver to burned and cleared lots: give us an address the driver can find and a way to reach you on the day.
Bluff and canyon ground
The Palisades sits on bluffs and canyon rims above the Pacific, and plenty of parcels hang over slopes where drainage has to be thought through before anything is poured. If the plans call for a particular base, fill or drain rock, call 800‑777‑6299 and read us the spec before the first load.
How delivery to Pacific Palisades works
About 27 miles from our yard
Our trucks run out of the yard in San Fernando down the 405 and in on Sunset Boulevard, or along Pacific Coast Highway when the address sits low. 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 canyon 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.
Pacific Palisades, street by street
Our delivery ZIP for Pacific Palisades is 90272, and it covers the whole of the Palisades: Castellammare and the Highlands up top, Marquez Knolls, the Alphabet streets and the Village in the middle, and Huntington Palisades and Rustic Canyon toward the ocean. The trucks come in on Sunset Boulevard from the 405, or up from Pacific Coast Highway at Temescal Canyon Road or Chautauqua Boulevard, whichever suits the address.
The canyons are the thing to think about before the truck arrives. Streets in Castellammare, the Highlands and along the canyon rims are narrow, steep in places and short on turnaround room, and the bed lifts high to tip, so look up for wires before you pick the drop spot. On a fire lot, the cleared pad usually makes an easy drop. If you are not sure about access, call 800‑777‑6299 with the address.
Pacific Palisades delivery questions
If yours is not covered here, call and ask.
Do you deliver sand and gravel to Pacific Palisades?
Yes. Pacific Palisades, ZIP 90272, is inside our delivery area, on our own 10 wheel dump trucks out of San Fernando. Enter your ZIP at the top of the page to see what we deliver to your address, with delivery already in the price, or call 800‑777‑6299.
How soon can you deliver to Pacific Palisades?
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.
What materials do I need to rebuild after the Palisades Fire?
Most rebuilds move through the same sequence: Screened Fill Dirt to bring the lot back to grade, a compacted layer of Class 2 Base or Crushed Miscellaneous Base under the footings and slab, Coarse Builder’s Sand or Washed Concrete Sand for bedding and backfill, and C-Mix if concrete is being mixed on site. Order 20 to 25 percent extra on base, because it compacts. If the plans specify a material, read us the spec.
Do you deliver to a cleared fire lot with no house on it yet?
Yes. We need an address the driver can find, someone reachable on the day, and firm level ground with open sky where the truck tips. Mark the drop spot with a stake or a cone. Each truck carries one material per delivery, so base and fill for the same lot come on separate trucks.
Can the truck get down a canyon street or a steep driveway?
Often, but not always. The truck needs the clear width and overhead room described above, plus firm level ground where it tips. On the narrow streets in the Highlands and Castellammare, or a driveway that drops below street grade, call 800‑777‑6299 with the address before you order. Ten cubic yards lands as a pile 13 to 15 feet across and 5 to 6 feet high.
What is the minimum order for a Pacific Palisades delivery?
One cubic yard, the same as everywhere we deliver, so a single yard of decomposed granite for a path goes out to the Palisades 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 Pacific Palisades included in the price?
Yes. The price you see on each material is the delivered price to your Pacific Palisades address, and nothing is added for freight at checkout.
How much does a truckload of sand cost delivered to Pacific Palisades?
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.
