Unilock Construction in Pomona, CA | Mason Remodeling Co West Covina
Unilock construction service in Pomona means building paver driveways, patios, and walkways that survive this city’s expansive clay soil, hard water, and seismic retrofitting rules. We’re Mason Remodeling Co West Covina, a General Contractor in Pomona, and we install and repair Unilock pavers across Pomona’s historic districts and mid-century tracts, bringing a written price before any work starts and a 365-day guarantee when we’re done. Call (707) 760-7579 to schedule a free estimate.
We also handle Unilock sales & service for homeowners across the San Gabriel Valley. Isaac Pruett founded our shop in 2004, and he grew up in Los Angeles, learned construction at LATTC, and has spent decades on Pomona-area jobsites where old houses meet modern stormwater rules. You should know what you’re getting before we ever pick up a tool.
Why Pomona Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Most Pomona hardscape contractors install pavers. Few understand what happens to them two or three years later here. We do, because we’ve fixed the failures. And we’ve worked on enough Wilton Heights and Lincoln Park homes to know exactly what the city’s preservation board expects before you even file.
We’re an independent Unilock construction service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate or authorized dealer. That matters for one reason: we recommend what actually works in Pomona. Sometimes that’s a genuine Unilock paver for a visible area to keep color and dimension consistent. Sometimes that’s a quality aftermarket polymeric sand or edge restraint, because spending more on the manufacturer name in the joint doesn’t get you a better driveway. Isaac keeps scopes tight and schedules honest. If it’s going to cost more or take longer, we say so before the work starts, not after.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Pomona
- Efflorescence on Richcliff and other darker blends. Pomona’s hard water and irrigation overspray leave white mineral deposits on pavers, especially on the darker Unilock Richcliff line. We remove the deposits and adjust drainage or sprinkler coverage so it doesn’t come right back.
- Edge restraint failure along raised planters and sloped driveways. Pomona’s expansive clay soils shift with seasonal moisture changes. Shifting soil pushes against edge restraints until they fail and pavers spread outward. We excavate and install deeper, properly anchored restraints.
- Polymeric sand washout after winter rains. Older Pomona neighborhoods with poor drainage see joint erosion and weed growth after storms. We regrade low areas and reapply sand with proper activation, then check the slope so water doesn’t pool.
- Settling over 1950s-era fill and decomposed granite. Many ranch-style tracts in Pomona were built on poorly compacted fill. Base failure shows up as sunken areas and uneven surfaces. We rebuild the base, not just scatter sand on top.
- Paver spread on pre-1940 homes with balloon framing and raised foundations. Older Pomona homes often have original hardscape that’s sagging against the foundation. We address the drainage first, then relay pavers with the right pitch away from the house.
Unilock Service in Pomona: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Pomona’s historic districts come with a rule most other San Gabriel Valley cities don’t have: hardscape replacement in Lincoln Park and Wilton Heights must match the original materials and patterns. That’s not a suggestion. The preservation board reviews it. Here’s what this means for Unilock owners: vintage clay pavers from the 1930s are fragile and hard to source, but Unilock’s tumbled and antiqued lines like Brussels Block closely mimic that old brick look while meeting modern permeable paving standards under current stormwater regulations. So a homeowner on East Holt Avenue can rebuild a crumbling driveway, satisfy the board, and get a surface that actually drains instead of pooling. We’ve done exactly that. Our crew rebuilt a Brussels Block driveway in the Wilton Heights district after edge restraints failed on expansive clay. We excavated to a new compacted base, installed fresh restraints, and relayed the pavers with new polymeric sand, matching the 1930s home’s brick walkway tones while adding subtle slope for drainage. No board complaint, no standing water after the first rain.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Pomona
We install and repair all the major Unilock lines you’ll see in Pomona yards: Brussels Block, Olde Greenwich Cobble, Beacon Hill Flagstone, and Richcliff. For visible areas and matching extensions, we recommend genuine Unilock pavers so color and dimensions stay consistent with what’s already down. For base material, edge restraints, and polymeric sand, we use quality aftermarket products chosen for Pomona’s clay and drainage conditions. We stock common replacement pavers and joint materials locally, which speeds up repairs across Pomona. We’ll also be straight with you: if individual units are cracked but the base is sound, we replace just those. If the base has failed across the whole surface, a partial rebuild is wasted money and we’ll tell you so.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Pomona
Yes, when the base is built correctly. If the base is excavated deep enough, compacted properly, and the edge restraints are anchored and the drainage slope is right, Unilock pavers handle Pomona’s expansive clay without cracking. Cracking usually means base failure, not paver failure. Call (707) 760-7579 and we’ll tell you exactly what’s under your current driveway before you spend anything.
Not necessarily. Sealing reduces efflorescence staining from hard water and slows sun fading, but it doesn’t fix drainage problems. If your pavers have white mineral deposits, the fix is often drainage and irrigation adjustment first, sealing second. We’ll assess before recommending a sealer. Call (707) 760-7579 for a straight answer.
Generally yes, with the right product line. Unilock’s tumbled and antiqued lines like Brussels Block closely mimic vintage clay pavers, add permeability, and have been accepted in Pomona’s historic districts when presented correctly. We’ve handled these board reviews and know what documentation helps. Call (707) 760-7579 to talk through your specific property.
Usually because water pools in low spots or runs off a slope too fast, or because the sand wasn’t activated properly during install. Older Pomona neighborhoods with poor drainage see this frequently. We regrade the base slope and reapply sand with correct activation. Call (707) 760-7579 for a free assessment.
We can replace individual cracked pavers if the base underneath is still sound. If the base has settled or washed out, a partial repair will fail again. We’ll tell you which situation you have, with no incentive to sell you work you don’t need. Call (707) 760-7579 and we’ll look.
