Unilock Construction in San Antonio Heights, CA | Stallion Contractors
We provide independent Unilock paver and wall construction across San Antonio Heights, CA. What makes our work different here is simple: every Unilock hardscape on a San Antonio Heights lot must clear County of San Bernardino building and public works review, sit on sloped or tree-covered terrain, and meet high fire-hazard severity zone requirements. That combination changes how a paver driveway, patio, or retaining wall gets engineered and installed. Call (855) 600-3192 for a free estimate on your project.
We’ve installed Unilock sales & service across the San Antonio Heights foothills for years, including Brussels Block driveways, Beacon Hill patios, Onyx walkways, and retaining walls that hold back hillside. Because we’re independent rather than factory-authorized, we recommend the Unilock line that fits your site, slope, and budget instead of pushing one product family. That matters when county reviewers are looking at your drainage plan as closely as your paver color.
Why San Antonio Heights Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Ruben Montoya, our owner, grew up in Colton and learned construction the hard way, on job sites before he ever printed a business card. He’s spent more than two decades in the Inland Empire, and he still treats the final ten percent of a job, the edge alignment, the joint sand compaction, the wall cap detail, as the part that matters most. That’s the reason San Antonio Heights homeowners call us when a paver field has settled or a retaining wall has started to bulge.
We know Unilock repair in Claremont and Unilock’s product lines the way a mechanic knows an engine. We know that Brussels Block and Beacon Hill pavers respond differently to irrigation runoff than Onyx or Elegance smooth-face pavers do. We know which wall units hold up on a sloped estate lot and which ones need geogrid reinforcement and engineered backfill from day one. And we know what the County of San Bernardino building reviewers will flag before they flag it.
For San Antonio Heights specifically, we keep OEM Unilock caps, wall connectors, and polymeric joint sand on hand so repair turnarounds stay short. We source geogrid and drainage aggregate from quality aftermarket suppliers because Unilock doesn’t manufacture those components. Good work doesn’t need a sales pitch, it needs the right materials and someone who knows what they’re doing.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in San Antonio Heights
- Efflorescence and salt bloom on Brussels Block and Beacon Hill pavers. San Antonio Heights lots run on private wells, and the water here carries a high mineral load. Irrigation runoff evaporates off paver surfaces and leaves behind white haze that recurs after every wet season. We remove it properly and adjust drainage so it stops coming back.
- Hairline cracking and edge spalling on Onyx and Elegance smooth-face pavers. These pavers are beautiful but unforgiving when the base course underneath them was laid over hillside fill without geogrid reinforcement. We see this on sloped estate lots throughout San Antonio Heights, where water moves under the paver field and the surface starts to fail from the base up.
- Retaining wall bulging and alignment loss. Older Unilock wall installations along the foothills often skipped engineered backfill and drainage gravel. The wall face starts to lean, caps shift, and County geotechnical review will flag it. We rebuild the wall with proper drainage and compaction.
- Fire-pit and seat-wall unit fading under Santa Ana conditions. Darker Unilock paver colors can fade or chalk faster than the manufacturer’s color warranty assumes when they sit in full sun and catch wind-driven ember exposure. We replace damaged units and match color as closely as the existing field allows.
- Driveway settlement from well-water runoff. Without a perforated drain outlet at the base, water from San Antonio Heights irrigation systems saturates the subgrade and the paver field sinks. We excavate to stable subgrade, add geogrid and drainage, and reinstall the pavers so they stay flat.
Unilock Service in San Antonio Heights: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Every Unilock hardscape in San Antonio Heights gets reviewed by County of San Bernardino building and public works, not a city hall, and because the lots sit in a high fire-hazard severity zone on the wildland-urban interface, wall and paver layouts must leave defensible-space clearance that a typical suburban paver job never considers. That’s not a small paperwork difference. It changes where a retaining wall can sit on your lot, how wide the paver field can run before it needs a fire-access break, and what material choices pass review. Homeowners who’ve done paver work in Upland or Rancho Cucamonga often assume the rules will be similar here. They aren’t. San Antonio Heights is unincorporated county land, and that means county building code, county drainage review, and county geotechnical scrutiny on any hillside scope. We plan for that from the first site walk, so your project doesn’t stall in review.
On a sloped, tree-covered parcel off San Antonio Heights’ foothill streets, our crew rebuilt a failing Brussels Block driveway that had settled and heaved from years of well-water runoff and a missing drainage layer. We excavated to stable subgrade, added geogrid and a perforated drain outlet, and reinstalled the pavers with Unilock OEM caps and polymeric sand, then matched the new base to the county’s slope and defensible-space review. That’s the full scope of what Unilock construction here actually involves.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in San Antonio Heights
We work on the Unilock lines most common on San Antonio Heights estate lots: Brussels Block, Beacon Hill, Onyx, and Elegance. Brussels Block and Beacon Hill are tumbled, textured pavers that hold up well on driveways and high-traffic patios. Onyx and Elegance are smooth-face pavers with a more finished look, popular for walkways and courtyard areas. We also provide Unilock service in Montclair and service Unilock retaining wall units, seat walls, fire pits, and step systems.
Our parts approach is straightforward. We use Unilock OEM caps, wall connectors, and polymeric joint sand so your paver and wall warranties stay intact. For geogrid, drainage aggregate, and base materials, we source from quality aftermarket suppliers because Unilock doesn’t manufacture those components and the county review doesn’t care whose bag the gravel came from as long as it specs correctly. If a wall or paver field is failing from base or drainage problems, we’ll tell you directly that patching the surface won’t fix it. A rebuild of the base course is the durable answer, and we’d rather tell you that before you spend money on a temporary fix.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in San Antonio Heights
Yes, almost always. On flat ground, a standard compacted base of road base and bedding sand works fine. On a San Antonio Heights slope, the base needs geogrid reinforcement, deeper compaction, and a perforated drain outlet to keep water from saturating the subgrade and causing settlement. Tree roots complicate it further, so we typically over-excavate near mature trees and add root barrier where needed. Call (855) 600-3192 and we’ll walk your lot and tell you what your specific slope requires.
It affects two things: the materials and the layout. Pavers themselves are noncombustible, so a Unilock patio or wall is actually a fire-smart choice compared to wood decking. But your wall and paver layout must leave defensible-space clearance around structures and along property lines, and the county will check that against its wildfire code before approving the permit. We submit plans that account for that clearance from the start, so review doesn’t kill the project.
The white haze is efflorescence, mineral salts drawn to the paver surface by moisture. In San Antonio Heights, the trigger is almost always irrigation runoff from private wells with high mineral content. It can be cleaned with the right efflorescence remover, but if the drainage underneath isn’t corrected, it will return after every wet season. We combine the cleaning with a drainage fix so the problem stays gone. Call (855) 600-3192 for an assessment.
Most of the time, yes. We’ll pull a sample from your existing installation and match the series, color, and age of the pavement. Brussels Block and Beacon Hill have tumbled textures that make color matching more forgiving. Onyx and Elegance are harder because the smooth face shows fade more plainly. We’ll show you the match before we order, and we’ll tell you honestly if the fade is too far gone for a clean match.
In San Antonio Heights, yes. County of San Bernardino building and public works reviewers will trigger geotechnical review on any retaining wall over three feet on a sloped parcel, and often on shorter walls if they’re above or below a structure. We handle the geotech coordination and the wall engineering so the permit moves without you having to manage multiple engineers. Call (855) 600-3192 if you’re considering a wall and want to know what review will require.
