Unilock Construction in Pomona, CA | Pinecrest Contractors
We install, repair, and rebuild Unilock paver driveways, patios, walkways, and retaining walls across Pomona. What makes our work here different is that we know Pomona’s housing stock: pre-1950s bungalows, mid-century tract homes, shallow slabs, and pier-and-beam foundations that don’t behave like new construction. If you need a Unilock system that holds up on an older Pomona lot, call Pinecrest Contractors at (855) 702-1622 for a free estimate.
Why Pomona Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Gil Rourke, our owner, grew up off Murrieta Hot Springs Road and learned the trade the slow way – watching bad pours cure in August heat, then learning how to do it right. That background matters on Pomona jobs. We’ve torn out and rebuilt enough Unilock fields in 91766, 91767, and 91769, and we’ve handled Unilock in Ontario as well to know how Brussels Block settles on old compacted fill, how Beacon Hill Flagstone reacts to Santa Ana wind, and how a Brussels Dimensional retaining wall behaves on a sloped foothill lot. We’re also an independent Unilock contractor – not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized – which means the base design, drainage, and subgrade prep are entirely on us. We don’t get to blame a spec sheet if your driveway shifts. That keeps us honest.
Homeowners in Pomona pick us because we’re a full-scope general contractor, not a paver-only shop. One contractor, every system. That’s useful when your paver patio ties into a roof drainage fix, a retaining wall, or a walkway that needs to work with a foundation repair. We’ll show you the options, including Unilock sales & service guidance on product lines and material choices. And because we run all trades under one contract, you don’t get the finger-pointing that comes from hiring a hardscaper who blames the roofer and a roofer who blames the hardscaper.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Pomona
- Joint sand blown out of Brussels Block fields. Santa Ana wind events strip polymeric sand from paver joints, especially on open driveway aprons in 91767 and 91768. Dry-season irrigation overspray then washes the rest out. We see loose pavers and open joints as a result, and we re-sand with a proper polymer that handles Pomona’s dry heat.
- Paver overlays telegraphing old concrete movement. Many Pomona lots have original pre-1950s concrete walkways and driveway aprons undercut by tree roots and settled pier-and-beam-era grading. If a paver overlay skips over-excavation, the movement shows through within a season. We cut back and re-base rather than paving over a problem.
- Retaining walls bowing after winter rain. Sloped lots near the San Gabriel foothills load a saturated base quickly. Walls stacked without geogrid or proper drainage lean by spring. We rebuild them with the right reinforcement and a drainage plan that actually works.
- Edge restraint failing at old slab edges. Where unpermitted flatwork or add-on slab edges were left in place, the paver border spreads at the driveway mouth. We pull the old edge, reset restraint, and lock the field back in.
- Historic-district design conflicts. Front walks and driveways near downtown Pomona and Lincoln Park can sit inside design-review territory. We’ve seen homeowners choose a paver color they like, then get flagged because it doesn’t fit the neighborhood’s Craftsman or Spanish Colonial character. We handle that conversation before you buy material.
Unilock Service in Pomona: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing about Pomona that doesn’t show up on a generic paver website: the city’s core is a large stock of pre-1950s and mid-century homes, and a lot of the exterior hardscape visible from the street sits in historic-district or design-review territory near downtown and Lincoln Park. That means a paver driveway or front walk rebuild in 91766 can require a period-appropriate material and edging choice – not just the color you like. We’ve worked on 1920s Craftsman bungalows where the city wants a running bond in a muted tone with restrained edging, not a bold flagstone pattern. If you’re in that zone, the design process starts with what Pomona will sign off on, and then we find the Unilock product that fits. On one 1920s bungalow near Lincoln Park, we pulled a heaved and root-cracked front walk and found the old concrete sitting on uncompacted fill over a shallow footing – no base at all. We over-excavated, reset compacted base with positive slope away from the porch, and laid Unilock Brussels Block in a running bond with matching edge restraint. The owner got a period-correct walk that finally drains instead of puddling at the steps.
That’s the job on a lot of Pomona properties. The right material in the right place – that’s where the job starts. We don’t skip the base work, because on these older lots, the base is the entire job.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Pomona
We specify and install genuine Unilock product across the model range you’ll actually find on Pomona homes: Brussels Block, Hollandstone, Beacon Hill Flagstone, and the Brussels Dimensional Stone wall system. We stock common units and edge restraints locally for faster turnaround on repairs in 91766, 91767, 91769, and 91797, plus Upland Unilock service when needed. Color batch and dimensional tolerance matter when matching an existing field, so we use genuine Unilock units and polymeric joint sand rather than generic knockoff pavers. On a sound base, repairing joint sand, edge restraint, or a settled corner beats a full tear-out. But once the base has failed or water is running under the field, a patch is just delaying a rebuild – and we’ll tell you that straight.

|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 – $18,000 |

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Pomona
Because most Pomona homes built before 1960 have shallow slabs or pier-and-beam foundations, and the original concrete was often poured directly on uncompacted fill. Lay pavers over that and the movement telegraphs through within a season. We over-excavate, re-base, and compact before any paver goes down. Call (855) 702-1622 and we’ll tell you if your old concrete is a base or a problem.
Yes, often. The area around downtown and Lincoln Park includes design-review territory where exterior hardscape visible from the street must meet period-appropriate standards. That means material, color, and edging choices get reviewed before you pour. We coordinate that conversation early so you don’t buy pavers the city won’t approve.
Pomona sits near the San Jose and San Gabriel fault zones at the mountain base, and sloped lots move more than flat ground. A retaining wall without geogrid and drainage leans or bows after rain and ground shift. We build walls with the reinforcement and drainage that Pomona’s seismic reality demands, and we bring that same standard to Los Serranos Unilock service.
Yes, within reason. We order from the same color batch family and use genuine Unilock units, not generic knockoffs. Older installations may have faded slightly, so a perfect match isn’t always possible, but we’ll get close enough that the extension reads as one field, not a patch job.
Yes. Pomona’s permit record on older homes often includes unpermitted garage conversions, room additions, and exterior slabs. If you’re adding a paver driveway or patio that ties into unpermitted work, the city can flag it and stall your permit until the prior work is legalized or corrected. We handle that process as part of the job. Call (855) 702-1622 for an exact read on your property.
