Unilock Construction in Highgrove, CA | Workshop Contractors
We install and repair Unilock hardscapes throughout Highgrove’s 92313 ZIP as an independent contractor, not a factory-authorized dealer. The thing that separates our Unilock work here from everywhere else we operate is that we know what sits under these lots: old citrus irrigation lines, uncompacted fill from the 1950s and 60s, and heavy soil that moves every winter. Call us at (844) 384-3361 to talk through your paver driveway, patio, or retaining wall project.
Why Highgrove Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Noel Figueroa, our owner and general contractor, grew up around tradesmen who framed half the houses on one Ontario street, and he learned the fundamentals at Chaffey College before spending decades working across the Inland Empire. That means when we pull up a Unilock paver field in Highgrove—or handle Colton Unilock service—we know what a proper aggregate base should look like and what happens when it was never installed.
We carry genuine Unilock units and matching edge restraints when a repair needs to blend with existing work, and we’re upfront about using aftermarket base aggregate and polymeric joint sand where they simply perform better for this climate. We’re independent, so no one at Unilock tells us what to stock or how to price. You get our judgment, and our judgment is shaped by years of Highgrove-specific ground conditions.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Highgrove
- Base settlement and rutting on paver driveways. Many Highgrove driveways were originally set over old citrus rows or loose fill, so the base was never compacted the way a Unilock paver field demands. We see rutted wheel tracks and sunken aprons on Brussels Block installs all over 92313.
- Sand-joint washout and edge migration after winter rains. Highgrove’s compacted heavy soil doesn’t absorb sheet flow quickly, so water runs across paver surfaces and pulls joint sand with it. We rebuild edge restraints and re-sand with polymeric products that hold up under those conditions.
- Faded or chalky Brussels Block and Beacon Hill surfaces. Inland Empire sun is relentless, and older Unilock units that were never sealed can turn dull and chalky. We clean and reseal, and we’ll tell you when replacement is more honest than a cosmetic fix.
- Leaning or bulging Uni-Stone and Sierra retaining walls. Shallow wells and old irrigation lines leave saturated, poorly drained backfill behind retaining walls. That backfill pushes on the block face and you see the lean. We rebuild the wall with proper drainage behind it.
- Winter sheet-flow pooling against garage slabs. On Highgrove lots with minimal slope, winter rain runs toward the garage instead of away from it. We correct the paver pitch and drainage layer so water moves where it should.
Unilock Service in Highgrove: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the Highgrove-specific fact that changes how Unilock work has to be planned here: the eastern edge of 92313 falls into Riverside County’s wildland-urban interface, where fire-clearance rules govern what can be built against the house. A Unilock patio or walkway on that side of Highgrove often has to function as a defensible, non-combustible hardscape buffer, not just a backyard feature. That means we’re designing layouts that keep pavers running right up to the structure line instead of the wood-deck-and-mulch edges common on Riverside lots. We also work around the legacy citrus irrigation lines and shallow wells that still surprise crews during excavation on older Highgrove parcels, just as we do for Unilock service in Rubidoux. We locate those before we ever break ground.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Highgrove
We work with the full range of structural Unilock pavers and retaining systems, including Brussels Block for driveways and patios, Beacon Hill for flagged walkways, and Uni-Stone and Sierra wall block for terraces and planters. When a repair has to match an existing field, we source genuine Unilock units in the right color and finish. Where base aggregate, edge restraints, or joint sand are concerned, we use the materials that hold up under Highgrove’s sun and winter sheet flow, and we keep those stocked locally for faster turnaround.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Highgrove
Yes. We source genuine Brussels Block units in the matching color and finish, and we account for weathering so the new units don’t stand out against the old field. Matching is easier on a full-driveway reset than a partial patch, and we’ll tell you honestly which one your paver field needs. Call (844) 384-3361 to have us look at the existing surface.
They can, yes. The wildland-urban interface regulations on Highgrove’s eastern edge require a non-combustible hardscape buffer in many layouts, so your Unilock patio may have to run closer to the structure than you’d planned, with no wood-deck or mulch edge. We offer Unilock repair in Loma Linda with the same attention to local codes. We design around those clearance rules from the start, and that’s often a big advantage over a generic paver crew that doesn’t know the requirement exists. Call (844) 384-3361 to discuss your specific parcel.
Because the base was never properly compacted, or it was set over old citrus fill that held water all winter. Highgrove’s heavy soil doesn’t drain fast, so a weak base gives way under vehicle weight. On a 1960s ranch parcel off a large agricultural lot here, we pulled up a Brussels Block driveway that had heaved and rutted after a wet winter and found the base sitting directly on uncompacted fill with a buried citrus irrigation line under the apron. We excavated, re-compacted a proper aggregate base, rerouted and capped that old line clear of the paver field, reset the Brussels Block, and finished with polymeric joint sand so the winter sheet-flow drained away from the garage slab instead of pooling against it. If your driveway is doing something similar, the fix is a rebuild, not a patch. Call (844) 384-3361 to get us out for a look.
Yes, and we plan for it. Many 92313 lots still have buried citrus irrigation lines and shallow wells that don’t show up on any permit record. We locate those before excavation so we don’t break a line and flood the patio base later. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll check your lot during the estimate.
The honest answer is sealing, on a schedule. Highgrove gets intense sun exposure from May through October, and unprotected pavers start to chalk within a few years. We clean and reseal Unilock surfaces as part of our service work, and we’ll recommend the right sealer for your paver type and exposure. Call (844) 384-3361 for a quote on cleaning and sealing.
