Unilock Construction in La Selva Beach, CA | Workshop Contractors
We install and repair Unilock segmental paver systems across La Selva Beach, and the thing that separates our work here from anywhere else is the ground. Half the lots in this community sit on beach sand, not stable soil, so a Unilock driveway or patio only lasts if the base beneath it is engineered for shifting, salt-saturated ground. We’re an independent contractor, not a Unilock-authorized dealer, and we handle paver driveways, patios, retaining walls, and full driveway replacements as a La Selva Beach General Contractor. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate.
Why La Selva Beach Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Noel Figueroa grew up around tradesmen and learned framing before he could rent a truck, and he’s carried that same expectation into every paver job we run. We don’t treat Unilock as a product we drop off and leave behind. We treat it as a structural system, because in La Selva Beach, the base detail matters more than the paver itself.
We carry genuine Unilock units and matching accessories so repairs blend with existing fields. We know which lines hold up under Monterey Bay salt air and which base-build failures show up after one winter storm. Our work stays in-house: we source, we install, and we stand behind what goes down. For full Unilock sales & service, we’re the crew to call.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in La Selva Beach
- Base failure over beach sand. Pavers laid on too little compacted aggregate settle unevenly as winter groundwater rises and the sand below shifts. We see rocking units and trip edges on driveways throughout La Selva Beach’s low-lying lots. The fix is lifting the field and rebuilding the base properly, not shimming the surface.
- Salt-driven surface wear and efflorescence. Marine-layer fog and salt air put a white mineral bloom on Brussels Block and Beacon Hill faces. Unsealed pavers wear faster here than they do inland. We clean and seal fields, and we blend replacement units where spalling has already taken the surface down.
- Joint sand washout and edge restraint failure. Wind-driven rain off Monterey Bay strips polymeric sand from paver joints and heaves flimsy plastic edge restraints. A patio in La Selva Beach can start spreading within two seasons. We rebuild edges with proper restraint and re-sand joints with material suited to wet, salty conditions.
- Corrosion of hidden wall hardware. Salt air attacks steel pins and anchors in Uni-Decor retaining and seat-wall assemblies. By the time a wall leans, the hardware is usually the first thing that has failed. We open the assembly, replace what’s corroded, and set the face straight again.
- Spalling at cuts and chips. Unsealed cut faces absorb water that cycles wet and dry through the marine layer. After a few seasons, the edges flake. We saw-clean damaged units and replace them with matching Unilock stock so the field stays consistent.
Unilock Service in La Selva Beach: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the part that neighbors in Aptos — though not those needing Unilock repair in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley — or Rio Del Mar don’t have to think about the same way we do. Most lots in the old Sand Dollar Beach tract of La Selva Beach sit on sand that is literally beach sand, and that sand moves. Winter storms push groundwater up, the sand shifts, and any paver installation built like an inland slab-and-sand-set job starts to fail within a season or two. Our crews have pulled apart driveways on Sand Dollar Beach-area streets and found the original installer skipped the one thing that matters most on this ground: a compacted aggregate section deep and strong enough to bridge the movement underneath. Add coastal permitting through Santa Cruz County and the California Coastal Commission, and every rebuild here has to be planned around setbacks, drainage, and dune conditions. A Unilock job in La Selva Beach is not a standard install. It’s a site-specific engineering decision layered under a permit process, and we handle both sides.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in La Selva Beach
We install and repair Brussels Block, Beacon Hill, Uni-Decor, Town Hall, and Sierra lines, including for customers seeking Unilock service in Day Valley. Brussels Block and Beacon Hill hold up well on La Selva Beach patios when they’re sealed and maintained. Uni-Decor handles retaining walls and seat walls along sloped backyards that drop toward the dunes. Town Hall gives us the tumbled clay look some beach cottages call for. Sierra is the permeable option that helps satisfy drainage requirements on lots where stormwater has nowhere good to go. Our parts approach is simple: stock genuine Unilock units locally for fast La Selva Beach turnaround, and when a discontinued line can’t be matched exactly, we blend the closest current Unilock product at the transition rather than patch with off-brand pavers, because an off-brand patch on a visible driveway looks exactly like what it is.

AfterUnilock Service Pricing in La Selva Beach
What drives the number on a La Selva Beach Unilock estimate is the base, not the paver. Coastal sites here almost always need more excavation, more aggregate, and better drainage than a flat inland lot. That’s honest work and it shows up in the line item, not as a surprise later.
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 – $18,000 |
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 – $11,000 |
| Driveway Replacement | $5,000 – $14,000 |
Our estimates are free and written as line items. You’ll see exactly what the base, drainage, restraint, and paver units each cost. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll put a number on your project without making you wait.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in La Selva Beach
No. We are an independent contractor. We install and repair Unilock systems because we know the product line and how it performs on coastal sand, but we have no authorization, partnership, or warranty relationship with the manufacturer. What we give you is the installation knowledge and honest parts sourcing that make the product last here.
Yes. We source genuine Unilock units and matching accessories so courses, thickness, and color stay consistent with your existing field. If a line has been discontinued and exact units aren’t available, we blend the closest current Unilock product at the transition rather than drop in an off-brand paver that jumps out visually.
A typical driveway or patio runs longer here than inland because the base prep is more involved and the county may require engineering and drainage details before approval. A standard patio can run several days. A driveway replacement with full base rebuild can run a week or more. We’ll give you a schedule with the estimate, and we won’t cut the base short to hit it.
Only if the base is built for it. A low-lying La Selva Beach lot with poor drainage will destroy a thin-base patio within a couple of winter storm cycles. The fix is a deeper compacted aggregate section, positive drainage directed away from the structure, and often a permeable paver like Unilock Sierra. That work costs more than a standard inland install, but it’s what keeps the patio flat. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free site look and an honest assessment of what your lot actually needs.
Driveway replacement runs $5,000 to $14,000, and paver driveway installation runs $7,000 to $18,000, depending on how much excavation and base work your lot requires. Beach-sand lots almost always land on the higher side because the base has to be rebuilt, not just re-topped. Call (844) 384-3361 for a written line-item estimate.
