History of Chandler's: Beginning back in the early 1900s, Founder Linden H. Chandler learned the business from his father who was the plant manager of C.B Hollingsworth Sand Pit in Lomita, California. From this early introduction into the industry, Chandler’s Palos Verdes Sand & Gravel Co. was founded in 1934. Originally delivering sand to build the roads of the growing Southern California oil market, Mr. Chandler soon purchased the Hollingsworth pit and then in 1954 acquired the Sidebotham operation. The business expansion included Lomita Plaster Co. in 1940 and 1945 with Chandler’s Ready-Mix.
