Unilock Construction in Las Lomas, CA | San Bernardino Contractors
Unilock construction in Las Lomas means working around private wells, septic drain fields, and clay-heavy Pajaro Valley soil that shifts with every wet winter and dry summer. We’re San Bernardino Contractors, and we install and repair Unilock paver driveways, patios, and retaining walls across the 95076 ZIP. If your pavers are settling, migrating, or losing joint sand, call (855) 473-5620 for a free on-site estimate from a contractor who knows this ground.
Why Las Lomas Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Ruben Castillo grew up watching his uncle reroof houses and frame garages in San Bernardino’s Westside neighborhood, and that hands-on education shaped how we approach every hardscape. We don’t guess at base depth or skip the geotextile. In Las Lomas, we’ve pulled up paver jobs that failed because someone treated this soil like inland gravel. It isn’t. The clay holds water, the water table rises near the Pajaro River sloughs, and the base moves. We plan for that from the first shovel cut.
We carry Unilock’s OEM edge restraints, joint sand, and adhesives so repairs match the original system. You won’t get a patch job with whatever sand was on the truck. And because we’re a full-service Las Lomas General Contractor, the same crew that rebuilds your paver base can also handle the driveway replacement, the walkway, or the retaining wall tie-in. One contractor, every phase.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Las Lomas
- Settled pavers from clay expansion and contraction. Las Lomas sits on clay-heavy soils that swell in winter rains and shrink in summer. Without a proper aggregate base and geotextile separator, Unilock Brussels Block and Beacon Hill pavers sink unevenly within a few seasons. We re-excavate, recompact, and rebuild so the surface stays flat.
- Joint sand loss and weed intrusion. Fog and winter rainfall push water through poorly compacted joints, washing out sand and letting weeds root. We use Unilock’s polymeric joint sand, which hardens and resists both. It’s a small upgrade that stops the annual regrout-and-sweat cycle.
- Retaining wall block shifting. Summer dry spells make soil shrink away from Onyx Wall and other Unilock wall systems, creating gaps at connections. A wall that’s even an inch out of alignment is building toward failure. We re-level the base course and reset blocks before you get a full collapse.
- Paver migration on rural driveways. Las Lomas driveways see heavy vehicles – trucks, trailers, septic pumpers. Without proper edge restraint, paver edges spread outward. Unilock’s OEM edge restraint system, installed correctly, holds the field together.
- Efflorescence and surface spalling. Coastal fog plus trapped moisture creates whitish mineral deposits and surface flaking on concrete pavers. We address drainage at the base level, not just the surface, because that’s where the problem starts.
Unilock Service in Las Lomas: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing most paver contractors from inland Watsonville don’t plan for: in Las Lomas, your hardscape sits on top of someone’s water source and waste system. Most properties run on private wells and septic. That means before we excavate for a patio off Las Lomas Drive or a paver driveway near the Pajaro River sloughs, we verify well lines and drain field boundaries. A backhoe through a septic later line isn’t a five-minute fix. It’s a three-day dig, a county inspection, and a very unhappy homeowner. City-serviced areas don’t have to think about this. In Las Lomas, it’s step one.
On our Home Remodeling in Las Lomas projects off Las Lomas Drive, we’ve seen what happens when that step gets skipped. Severe settling from clay soil and high water tables had created a washboard surface. We removed the existing pavers, re-excavated to proper depth, installed a geotextile separator and compacted aggregate base, then reinstalled Unilock Brussels Block with OEM edge restraints and polymeric joint sand. The driveway now handles winter runoff and heavy vehicles without movement. If it’s not built right the first time, you’re just paying for it twice.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Las Lomas
We work with the Unilock lines that hold up best in Pajaro Valley conditions: Brussels Block for driveways that take real vehicle weight, Beacon Hill for patios where you want a tumbled look, Onyx Wall for low retaining walls and seat walls, and Elegance for a smoother, tighter-joint surface. For Amesti Unilock service and repairs throughout the area, we replace individual units rather than forcing a full redo. But we’re honest about when a repair won’t last. If settlement is widespread across a field, rebuilding the base is the only fix that survives another wet winter. We’ll tell you straight, and we’ll quote both options.
If you’re looking for broader Unilock sales & service guidance, we cover the full scope: new installs, teardowns, base rebuilds, and wall resets.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Las Lomas
We over-excavate, lay a geotextile separator between the clay and the aggregate, compact in lifts, and set the pavers on a screeded bedding layer. That sequence prevents the clay from mixing into the base and freezing or heaving the surface. For an exact approach on your lot, call (855) 473-5620.
Sometimes, but only if the slab is structurally sound and we have enough elevation to work with. We check for cracking, drainage, and clearance first. If the base under the concrete is failing, laying pavers on top just hides the problem for a year or two. We’ll tell you which way your slab breaks before you spend a dollar.
Las Lomas is unincorporated Monterey County, so you’re dealing with the county, not a city building department. Permeable or small patio installs may not need anything. Larger hardscape projects with walls or significant excavation often do. We handle the county paperwork and confirm what applies to your parcel. The estimate is free, and it includes the permit check.
The fog keeps surfaces damp for months, which pushes moisture into joints and widens the freeze-thaw and mineral-deposit cycles. Using Unilock’s polymeric joint sand and making sure the base drains properly are the two things that keep fog from becoming a slow-motion problem. We inspect drainage on every install.
Yes. We provide Unilock repair in Corralitos and Las Lomas, replacing individual units, resetting edges, and recompacting bases. If settlement covers a large area, we’ll recommend a base rebuild instead of patching the surface again. Most repairs are quoted within a couple days of the site visit. Call (855) 473-5620 for a walkthrough and a written number.
