We’re San Bernardino Contractors, and we work with Unilock pavers and wall systems as an independent contractor. That means we specify and install genuine Unilock units, but we’re not manufacturer-authorized, and we don’t have to pitch you a full tear-out when four pavers are cracked. Our Unilock sales & service experience runs from Brussels Block driveways to U-Cara retaining walls, and we quote the excavation honestly because on a wooded Felton lot, that’s where the job actually succeeds or fails.

Why Felton Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service

Ruben Castillo, the owner at San Bernardino Contractors, grew up watching his uncle reroof houses and frame garages on a shoestring budget in San Bernardino. That upbringing taught him something that matters on every Unilock job in Felton: if it’s not built right the first time, you’re just paying for it twice. His construction technology training at San Bernardino Valley College sharpened the same instinct into reading plans, understanding load paths, and refusing to cut corners on anything structural, including the base under a paver field.

We know the Unilock product lines that hold up under redwood canopy and seasonal saturation, and we know which edge restraints and drainage details keep joints from blowing out when an atmospheric river dumps rain on the San Lorenzo Valley. You pick the Unilock paver, the finish, the texture. We handle the build from excavation to final compaction, no subcontractor shuffle.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Felton

• Brussels Block and tumbled pavers rutting at the downhill edge. Felton driveways slope toward the street, and after an atmospheric-river storm the runoff concentrates at the lowest course. When the base was compacted without accounting for redwood root movement and seasonal saturation, the downhill edge settles and the pavers migrate. We re-excavate, install a proper open-graded base, and pin the edge so it holds.
• Efflorescence blooming on Beacon Hill pavers. Beacon Hill and similar dense Unilock pavers grow a white chalky film under the redwoods because summer shade and year-round damp keep the surface wet far longer than a sun-exposed lot in Scotts Valley ever would. We can clean it, but the real fix is drainage so water doesn’t sit under the paver and wick mineral salts up through the face.
• Polymeric joint sand washing out of slopes. When a Felton patio or driveway doesn’t grade water away from the field, the joint sand erodes within a season or two, leaving open gaps that invite weeds and heave. We re-sand with Unilock-compatible polymeric material and fix the grade so the sand stays where it belongs.
• U-Cara retaining walls leaning or blowing out at the toe. Steep wooded lots above Felton driveways send uphill runoff straight into the back of the wall. If the drain isn’t captured and the toe isn’t pinned, the wall pushes forward and weeps clog with debris. That’s a rebuild, not a patch job, and we’ll tell you straight.
• Cracked or spalled single units from root heave. Redwood roots stay active in shallow soil, and a paver that was fine in September can pop cracked by March after a wet winter flexes the root mat underneath. When it’s just a few units, we reset them and match the color. When half the field is failing, patching only delays the same rutting another winter.

Unilock Service in Felton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Felton’s lots sit under second-growth redwood canopy where roots stay active in the shallow soil. That changes the way you build a paver base. On a flatland driveway in a sunny subdivision, you can compact a rigid profile and expect it to stay put. Here, a rigid base under Unilock pavers gets lifted and flexed by redwood roots within a few wet seasons. The base has to be excavated above the root mat, detailed to flex and drain, and edged so the pavers can move slightly without migrating. On a sloped, heavily treed lot off Graham Hill Road, we pulled up a failed concrete apron and reset the driveway in Unilock Brussels Block. The pavers were the easy part. The real job was cutting the base down through the root mat, adding drainage away from the downslope edge, and pinning the edge restraints so runoff couldn’t take the field with it. Two seasons later that driveway is holding grade and the joints are still tight where the old apron had cracked and heaved. That’s what base prep means on a Felton lot, and it’s the part you can’t see on a quote from someone who’s never worked under redwoods.

Unilock Models & Products We Service in Felton

We install and repair the Unilock lines most common in Felton hardscapes: Brussels Block for tumbled driveways and patios, Beacon Hill and Onyx for denser, more contemporary surfaces, and the U-Cara retaining wall system for sloped lots that need real structural holding power. We use genuine Unilock units and matching edge restraints so courses, colors, and face dimensions line up with what’s already on the property. For the parts you don’t see, we source Unilock-compatible polymeric sand and base aggregate, never generic fill that performs differently under redwood moisture. When a few pavers are cracked or spalled, we reset those units instead of selling a full tear-out. When the base is failing under half the field, patching over it just delays the same rutting another winter, and we’ll say so.
