Unilock Construction in Upland, CA | Stallion Contractors
We install, repair, and replace Unilock paver systems across Upland, from tight downtown bungalow lots to wide foothill properties in 91784. The work we do here differs from neighboring cities because Upland’s two-tier housing stock means one job on a 40-foot frontage needs hand excavation while another on a hillside faces slope and fire-zone review. We’re an independent Unilock service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer, which means our recommendations are driven by what your specific property needs, not what an authorized network tells us to push. Call (855) 600-3192 for a free estimate, or read on to understand what Unilock work in Upland actually involves.
Why Upland Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Unilock pavers are a premium hardscape material, and they fail or succeed based on what’s underneath them. Ruben Montoya, our owner, grew up in Colton and has spent more than two decades working Inland Empire soil. He knows Upland’s clay expands and contracts, that downtown lots have drainage issues older than most homeowners, and that a paver job done right means the base prep matters more than the paver itself. We stock Unilock Brussels Block, Beacon Hill, and Town Hall pavers locally for fast turnaround on repairs, and we source genuine Unilock replacements when matching an existing field. We also offer San Antonio Heights Unilock service for homeowners just west of Upland. From the kitchen to the roofline to the driveway, we run one contract and one team, so your paver work doesn’t sit in limbo while you chase a separate hardscape vendor. Pro-grade materials, professionally installed, with a single point of accountability.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Upland
- Efflorescence and white salt staining on Brussels Block pavers. Upland’s alkaline soil and irrigation runoff push minerals up through the paver surface, especially in older downtown yards where drainage is poor. The chalky white residue isn’t a paver defect; it’s the soil chemistry working against the concrete. We clean and reseal affected fields, and we fix the drainage that causes the problem to return.
- Joint sand erosion and paver shifting from Santa Ana wind events. Dry winds in the fall strip fines from paver joints, and without proper edge restraints, pavers start to drift. On foothill slopes in 91784, this is worse because seasonal soil movement compounds the problem. We re-joint with high-quality polymeric sand and install hidden edge restraints that hold the field in place.
- Surface spalling and cracking from freeze-thaw cycles and tree root heave. Yes, Upland’s foothills get light frost, and when moisture penetrates older pavers and freezes, the surface pops. Meanwhile, pre-war lots near downtown often have mature trees whose roots push up shallow base prep. We repair spalled sections where the base is intact and replace the field when more than 20% is compromised.
- Color fading on west-facing paver driveways and patios. Inland summer UV is relentless, and unstained or poorly sealed pavers on west-facing exposures fade unevenly. We match Unilock color blends and apply the right sealer for Upland’s sun exposure, so replacement pavers don’t look like patches.
- Failed concrete driveways replaced with Unilock pavers. Many Upland homes were built with original concrete driveways poured before modern setbacks, and that concrete cracks, heaves, and channels water toward foundations. We replace these with Unilock paver systems that shed water properly and match the period streetscape.
Unilock Service in Upland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Upland is an old citrus-belt town at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, and construction here is shaped by a split that most neighboring cities don’t share. Downtown and central Upland are dominated by 1920s to 1960s bungalows and ranch homes on tight 40-foot frontages with detached garages, original concrete driveways, and soil that has been compacted and disturbed for close to a century. North Upland, in 91784, is newer tract and custom foothill housing from the 1970s through 1990s, where lots are wider but ground has its own problems: expansive clay, slope movement, and fire-zone review. Two jobs a mile apart can have completely different plan-check paths. For Unilock work, this means a downtown driveway replacement often requires hand excavation because a skid steer cannot fit between the house and the property line, while a hillside paver patio needs deeper base prep and drainage. We also provide Unilock service in Claremont for similar foothill conditions.e engineering that a flat downtown lot would never see. If you live near 2nd Avenue and Mountain Avenue, your constraints are different than someone off Mountain View Drive above the foothills, and the paver work should reflect that.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Upland
We work with the full Unilock paver and wall lineup, including Brussels Block, Beacon Hill, Town Hall, and the Techo-Bloc Blu 60 line now under the Unilock family. For repairs, we source genuine Unilock replacement pavers matched to your field, along with compatible edge restraints. We use polymeric joint sand and base aggregates that meet or exceed Unilock spec for Upland’s expansive clay and seasonal movement. For any Unilock product questions, our Unilock sales & service page covers the full material lineup and warranty considerations. When a field is mostly intact, we repair; when displacement exceeds 20%, we recommend replacement, because piecemeal patching a failing field costs more over time than doing the job once. We are an independent provider, which means we pull from multiple suppliers and recommend what works, not what a dealer agreement tells us to stock.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Upland
Sometimes, but not always. Most hillside paver projects in north Upland require a slope and drainage review, and the fire-zone review can dictate what materials are acceptable near the structure. We handle the plan-check path and will tell you up front whether your project needs engineering before a single paver goes down. Call (855) 600-3192 to discuss your specific lot.
That’s efflorescence, and it comes from Upland’s alkaline soil and irrigation runoff moving minerals up through the paver surface. It’s not a manufacturing defect. We clean it, seal the field, and correct the drainage so the moisture stops pushing through. Call (855) 600-3192 for a site evaluation.
For driveways, we recommend a minimum of 6 to 8 inches of compacted Class II base over a geotextile separator, plus a 1-inch bedding layer. For patios and walkways, 4 to 6 inches is usually sufficient, but hillside lots with slope movement may need more. We evaluate the soil on site before we quote, because base depth is the difference between a paver field that holds for 20 years and one that shifts in 18 months.
Santa Ana winds strip fine particles from joint sand, which lets pavers loosen and shift. On foothill properties, the winds hit harder and the soil movement compounds the problem. We always install edge restraints on Unilock fields we build in Upland, and we re-joint with polymeric sand on repairs. Call (855) 600-3192 if your pavers are shifting after a wind season.
Yes, replacing a driveway in Upland generally requires a permit, and on hillside or fire-zone lots in 91784, there may be additional review. We also handle Rancho Cucamonga Unilock service with the same full permitting support. We pull permits and coordinate inspections as part of the project. Your project managed start to finish, including the paperwork.
