Unilock Construction in San Bernardino, CA | Bradford Remodeling
We install and repair Unilock paver systems across San Bernardino as an independent General Contractor in San Bernardino, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer. The difference here is base prep: San Bernardino sits against the Cajon Pass wind corridor and inland valley heat, so we compact deeper and specify tighter joint sand than a coastal crew ever would. Call (903) 568-7222 for a written price on Unilock driveway, patio, or walkway work in San Bernardino.
Why San Bernardino Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Bradford Remodeling works with Unilock products every week. Curtis Lane, our owner, trained in construction technology at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has spent two decades on jobs from foundation to finish carpentry. That means when our crew shows up in San Bernardino with Brussels Block or Umbriano pavers, we already know how the product handles, what its joints do under heat, and where installation shortcuts fail. We run background-checked, uniformed technicians on every job. The written price you get before work starts is the price on the final invoice. No numbers move at the door. If the finished paver surface fails within a year, the 365-Day Done Right Promise brings us back to correct it at no charge. That’s The Garrison Standard, and every San Bernardino job runs under it. We also sell and service the full Unilock line through our Unilock sales & service page for homeowners who want to compare models before committing.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in San Bernardino
- Polymeric joint sand failure after 110°F+ inland summers. San Bernardino heat expands pavers and stresses joint sand. When the sand was applied too thin or activated with hard municipal water, it cracks, washes out, and weeds take root between pavers. We remove the failed sand, re-sweep with Unilock-branded polymeric sand, and activate it correctly so the joints stay tight.
- Efflorescence bloom on gray Unilock pavers. San Bernardino’s mineral-heavy irrigation water leaves white calcium deposits across Brussels Block and Copthorne surfaces. It’s not a paver defect, it’s water chemistry. We clean the efflorescence with the right acid solution and can seal the surface to slow future bloom on irrigated planter borders.
- Edge restraint heave from expansive clay soils. San Bernardino’s clay expands and contracts with seasonal moisture. Shallow edge restraint pulls loose, and pavers migrate outward at the perimeter. We reset the field with proper edge restraint spiked below the frost-moisture zone and re-compact the base so the perimeter holds.
- UV fading on face-mix pavers like Umbriano. West-facing driveways in San Bernardino take unshaded afternoon sun for years. Umbriano’s face-mix color layer can dull unevenly. We can replace faded sections, re-lay the field, or guide you toward a paver line with better color stability for full-sun exposure.
- Base settlement and depressions after wind-driven dust infiltration. High winds off the Cajon Pass push fine dust between pavers and into the base layer. Over time, that dust acts as a lubricant under the pavers and creates low spots. We lift the affected area, add and re-compact Class II aggregate, and re-lay the pavers to grade.
Unilock Service in San Bernardino: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Paver Project
San Bernardino sits in a high wind zone near the Cajon Pass and receives intense inland valley sun, so Unilock pavers here are specified with deeper base compaction and tighter joint sand to resist wind-driven dust and heat-driven expansion far more than coastal installations. This is not a generic California answer. Coastal crews can get away with a 4-inch base and standard joint sand because their temperature swing is mild and their air is clean. In San Bernardino, we compact 6 inches of Class II aggregate with geotextile separation fabric under every Unilock driveway and patio, because the clay soils underneath expand and contract while the wind deposits fine dust into any open joint. On a driveway off Northpark Boulevard, our crew tore out a failing asphalt pad and rebuilt it with Unilock Brussels Block pavers on a 6-inch compacted Class II base with geotextile separation. The original asphalt had cracked from root intrusion and heat, but the homeowners wanted to keep the same footprint, so we retained the grade and tied the new pavers into the existing curb. The finished driveway drains away from the garage and has held its joints through two summer heat cycles. That is what a San Bernardino paver job should look like at close: clean site, documented scope, signed written guarantee in the homeowner’s hand.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in San Bernardino
We install and repair the full residential Unilock range: Brussels Block for classic driveways and walkways, Beacon Hill for a tumbled, older-world patio look, Umbriano for contemporary surfaces with a smooth face, and Copthorne for projects that need a stone-like finish at a lower weight. We install genuine Unilock pavers and Unilock-branded edge restraint and joint sand. For base aggregate, geotextile, and drainage components, we use high-quality aftermarket products where they outperform the OEM options for San Bernardino’s clay and heat. We keep common paver sizes and joint sand stocked for fast turnarounds across the San Bernardino service area, so a repair section does not sit open while we wait on a pallet.

AfterUnilock Service Pricing in San Bernardino
Here are the line-item ranges we give on San Bernardino Unilock work. Every job gets a written quote before a single tool comes out, and that number does not change at the door.
| Unilock Service | San Bernardino Price Range |
|---|---|

| Concrete Driveway Installation | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 – $11,000 |
What drives the number is square footage, base depth, access, and whether we’re tearing out an old surface. A San Bernardino Kitchen Remodeling patio that needs 6 inches of Class II on San Bernardino clay costs more than a thin-bed coastal patio, and that is the right way to build it. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll walk the site, take measurements, and hand you a fixed price in writing.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in San Bernardino
No, we are an independent construction contractor that installs Unilock paver systems daily in San Bernardino, including full-depth base prep and polymeric jointing. We are not authorized by, partnered with, or endorsed by Unilock. We choose Unilock products because their paver lines hold up in our climate, and we source genuine Unilock pavers, edge restraint, and joint sand for every job. Call (903) 568-7222 for a written quote.
We use a 6-inch compacted Class II aggregate base with geotextile separation fabric under every Unilock paver patio in San Bernardino. This depth accounts for the expansive clay soils, the high wind zone near the Cajon Pass, and the 110°F+ summer heat cycle. A shallower base will settle and shift within a few seasons. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll confirm the base spec for your property.
We install genuine Unilock pavers and Unilock-branded edge restraint and joint sand. For base aggregate, geotextile, and drainage components, we use high-quality aftermarket products that outperform OEM for San Bernardino’s conditions. If a Unilock surface is 15-20% cracked or heaved, we replace the failed section rather than the whole field. Full replacement is only warranted when base failure is widespread.
A standard San Bernardino driveway with teardown of old asphalt or concrete, 6-inch base prep, paver installation, and joint sand activation typically runs 3 to 5 working days. Weather delays from Santa Ana wind events can add a day. We sequence demo and base prep so the site never sits open overnight without protection.
