Unilock Construction in Lompico, CA | Workshop Contractors
We provide independent Unilock paver and retaining wall installation and repair across Lompico, and the one thing that separates our work here is how we handle narrow canyon access and stormwater. Lompico’s steep private roads and heavy winter rain mean the base and drainage under your Unilock system matter more than the paver you pick. We’re Workshop Contractors, led by Noel Figueroa, and we’ve built hardscape projects in Lompico service area that most flat-lot contractors would turn down. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate on Unilock driveways, patios, and retaining walls.
Why Lompico Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Unilock pavers are only as good as the base under them. In Lompico, where canyon soils swell with winter rain and runoff pours off redwood-shaded eaves, the base is everything. We’ve spent years working Santa Cruz Mountains slopes, and we know how a Brussels Block driveway behaves when it’s laid over fast-draining soil that shifts with every atmospheric-river storm. Noel Figueroa grew up around tradesmen who taught him that framing, tile, and trim either hold up under a second look or they don’t. He applies the same standard to hardscape. We source Unilock sales & service units directly and pair them with proper geotextile, compacted aggregate, and edge restraints so the system stays put. Build it right the first time. The second time costs twice as much and nobody’s happy about it.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Lompico
- Heave and differential settlement on Brussels Block driveways. Lompico’s shallow, fast-draining canyon soils expand and contract through wet winters, and a thin base will heave within a season or two. We pull the failed section, rebuild the sub-base with geotextile separation and compacted aggregate, then re-lay the original units when they’re still sound.
- Efflorescence and staining on Beacon Hill flagstone patios. When subsurface water gets trapped by tight clay on a Lompico slope with no gravity drainage, white mineral deposits and dark staining follow. We correct the drainage path under the slab before resetting the flagstone, because cleaning efflorescence without fixing the water just means cleaning it again next winter.
- Pisa2 and Weston Wall retaining walls leaning or losing batter. Steep Lompico grades put serious surcharge pressure on tiered walls, and creek-corridor runoff during storms only adds load. We rebuild walls with proper geogrid reinforcement and drainage aggregate behind the units so they hold their batter.
- Spalling, chipping, and joint sand loss from roof runoff. Rooftop water pours off eaves onto driveways during Lompico’s heaviest storms, and over time that concentrated flow erodes joint sand and damages paver faces. We add drainage swales or channel runoff away from the paved surface before repairing the affected units.
- Edge restraint failure on steep driveways. On a grade, pavers want to creep downhill. We install solid edge restraints pinned into the base so the outer rows don’t wander over time, which is a common sight on older Lompico driveways that weren’t built for slope.
Unilock Service in Lompico: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Job
Because most Lompico driveways and private road easements are too narrow or steep for a standard dump truck or flatbed, Unilock paver and base deliveries here routinely get staged at the bottom of the canyon and shuttled up in smaller rigs. That changes how we sequence a hardscape job and how much material can go down in one day. On a steep creek-side lot off a narrow private drive in the Lompico canyon, our crew staged a pallet of Brussels Block pavers and base rock at the bottom of the easement and shuttled it up in a small rig because no standard delivery truck could make the grade. The old cracked driveway was over a thin base that had heaved with winter rain, so we pulled it out, rebuilt the sub-base with proper geotextile and compacted aggregate, tied in edge restraints, and re-laid the pavers at a controlled slope. We also added a drainage swale at the eave side so redwood-canopy roof runoff stops dumping onto the pavers during storms. That’s what Unilock work in Lompico actually looks like: more staging, more shuttle runs, more drainage planning, and a finished surface that holds.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Lompico
We install and repair Unilock Brussels Block pavers, Beacon Hill flagstone, Pisa2 retaining wall units, and Weston Wall blocks, and we also handle Unilock repair in Felton. For repairs, we source genuine Unilock units so color blends and dimensional tolerances match the original installation, and we use manufacturer-compatible joint sand and edge restraints. Where aftermarket geogrid or base material is genuinely equal or better, we buy that instead and tell you why. We don’t stock every Unilock line in a Lompico warehouse, but we stage materials for each job based on access, and we’ll order units ahead of schedule so the shuttle runs don’t stall the work.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Lompico
Yes, and it’s done regularly, but the base and drainage design have to match the grade. We compact aggregate in lifts, add geotextile separation, and pin edge restraints so the pavers stay in place on slopes that would push a poorly built driveway downhill. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll walk your slope and tell you what it needs.
Like Unilock in Mount Hermon, we stage deliveries at the bottom of the canyon and shuttle pavers and base rock up in smaller rigs that can handle tight turnouts and steep grades. It’s slower than a flat-lot delivery, but it’s the only way to get material to many Lompico parcels without tearing up the easement.
Yes, if the sub-base drains and the surface is cleaned of debris before fire season. Wet winters test drainage, and a patio without proper slope or a drainage path under the slab will trap water and stain. Fire season means keeping pine needles and duff off the pavers so embers don’t find fuel. We design for both.
Santa Cruz County generally requires permits for retaining walls over a certain height, and walls on steep slopes or near creek corridors may need engineering review. We handle the permit process as part of the scope, and our estimates include permit and inspection coordination. Call (844) 384-3361 to confirm what your specific wall needs.
Yes, and we usually recommend it when the Unilock in Brookdale units themselves are still sound. We pull the settled section, rebuild the base underneath, and re-lay the original pavers. Full replacement only makes sense when the sub-base was built wrong from the start or the units are cracked and wearing unevenly. Get a free assessment at (844) 384-3361.
