Why Redlands Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service

Ruben Montoya, our owner, grew up in Colton and came up through the hands-on construction programs at San Bernardino Valley College. He knows Inland Empire soil the way you only can after watching it fail for two-plus decades. That’s why our crews don’t treat paver installation like a cosmetic job. We compact base in lifts, we tie edge restraint to something that doesn’t move, and we work with the actual ground conditions under a Redlands home, not an idealized cross-section from a catalog. When you call us for Unilock work, you get a team that’s laid Brussels Block and Beacon Hill pavers through decomposed granite on the east side and cut-and-fill over old grove grades near downtown. One contractor from Redlands service area through the whole job.

We carry Unilock-brand pavers matched to the existing series when a patio needs an addition, and we also handle Unilock in Highland, and we stock quality aftermarket polymeric joint sand and edge restraint locally so turnaround stays fast. Ruben’s father was a finish carpenter, and that’s where our attention to the last ten percent of a job comes from. The edge line is straight. The joints are full. The base is right.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Redlands

• Base failure and rutting on driveways. Decomposed granite subgrade that wasn’t compacted in lifts shifts under summer heat cycling. We see it most on Redlands driveways where a previous crew treated the base like an afterthought. We re-excavate, compact properly, and reset the field so the pavers don’t sink again.
• Joint sand washout and paver shifting after winter rain. Steeper Redlands lots and older clay drainage send water sheeting across patios fast. When the joint sand washes out, pavers creep. We replace failed joints with a quality polymeric sand that grabs hard and re-locks the field.
• Efflorescence and sun-fading on light-colored pavers. Heavy UV and Santa Ana dust grind on pavers year after year in Redlands. Light colors like some Beacon Hill and Cambridge Pavingstones tones show chalky residue and fade faster here. We clean, evaluate, and re-sand where it makes sense, and we’re honest when a full re-set is the better call.
• Edge restraint heaving at brick porch steps. Downtown Redlands bungalows often have original brick steps with nothing under them but old grove soil. Pavers butted against those steps heave when the base shifts. We lock edge restraint to new concrete curbing so the line holds.
• Patchwork repairs that don’t match. When a prior repair used the wrong paver series or cheap sand, the patch looks like a patch. We match the paver line, blend the color, and rebuild so the repair disappears into the installation.

Good work doesn’t need a sales pitch, it needs the right materials and someone who knows what they’re doing.

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

Here’s the thing a lot of contractors from outside the area miss about Redlands, and it explains why so many paver jobs fail here faster than they should. A large share of the lots along the old orange-grove streets around downtown were graded from grove soil when the citrus trees were cleared for housing in the early 1900s. That soil is fine and loose and it compacts differently than native ground. If a paver patio or driveway goes down without re-excavating and building a proper base in lifts, it will settle, heave, or wash out. And on many of these homes, the original brick porch steps are already failing inspection. When you want a Unilock paver patio out back or a paver driveway up front, you can’t just lay over the existing grade. The job has to start with re-excavation to compacted base, then lock the pavers to new edge restraint tied to something structural, not just a buried strip of plastic. That’s the difference between a paver job that looks good in May and one that’s still holding through ten Redlands summers.

Unilock Models & Products We Service in Redlands

We work with the Unilock lines you’re most likely to see on Redlands properties, and we offer Unilock repair in Loma Linda as well: Brussels Block, the workhorse tumbled paver that shows up on mid-century ranch homes across 92374; Beacon Hill, which adds a cleaner, more finished look on contemporary tract homes; Uni-Stone for driveways and heavier traffic areas; and Cambridge Pavingstones with ArmorTec, a blend that holds its color well under the Inland Empire sun when maintained correctly. Our stance on parts is simple: we use genuine Unilock pavers matched to the series and color on your property for any addition or repair. For joint sand and edge restraint, we carry proven aftermarket products that outperform cheap substitutes. We lift and re-base only the settled sections when a patio has drops in spots; there’s no reason to tear out a whole installation for a localized failure. That saves Redlands homeowners money and respects the work already in place.

What drives the number on a Redlands job, or a Colton Unilock service call: the condition of the subgrade, whether we’re re-excavating old grove soil, how much base is needed, drainage corrections, and whether we’re tying into existing brick steps or a new concrete curb.
