Unilock Construction in Sedco Hills, CA

Unilock Construction in Sedco Hills, CA | San Mateo Construction

We provide independent Unilock paver and retaining wall construction across Sedco Hills, CA, and the one thing that separates our work here is straightforward: we build for clay slopes first, paver selection second. Most Unilock failures we see in this community trace back to the same root causes – unmanaged winter sheet flow, unengineered base over native clay, and fire-access rules that force layout changes before the first block is set. If you’re planning a paver driveway, patio, or retaining wall in the 92531 ZIP, call us at (855) 901-7266 for an estimate built around how your specific lot actually drains.

Why Sedco Hills Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service

Unilock makes good pavers – Brussels Block, Beacon Hill, Brussels Dimensional, and their Pisa2 and U-Cara wall systems all have a place on the right project. But a paver is only as good as what’s beneath it, and in our Sedco Hills service area the “beneath it” part is where jobs go sideways. We’re a licensed general contractor, not a manufacturer rep, and we’ve worked these hillside lots long enough to know what the clay does after two weeks of rain. Noel Carrington, our owner, grew up helping pour concrete footings and learned early that base prep is the trade – the finished surface is just what you see. He’ll be the one walking your grade and telling you straight whether Unilock is the right product or whether a different approach fits your slope better.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Sedco Hills

• Paver edge creep and joint sand loss on sloped driveways. Winter runoff sheets across the surface on lots that were platted before modern drainage existed. Pavers drift, sand washes out, edges start wandering. We tie the edge with a proper restraint and switch to a polymeric sand that survives the flow.
• Base failure and differential settlement over clay. This is the big one in Sedco Hills. When Unilock gets set over native clay without over-excavation and re-compaction, a wet winter heaves patio corners and leaves pavers rocking. We cut the grade down, compact a structural base, and build in a drainage path before re-laying the surface.
• Retaining wall batter and bulging on cut slopes. Segment
