Unilock Construction in Anaheim, CA | Timberline Contractors
We install and repair Unilock paver systems across Anaheim full-time, from resort-area tenant improvements to post-war tract driveways. The thing that separates our Unilock work here is understanding how Santa Ana heat cycles and clay-heavy flatland soils stress these pavers differently than anywhere else in Orange County. If you’re dealing with lipping, washout, or efflorescence on an existing Unilock installation, or planning new paver work, call (866) 253-5808 for a free estimate.
Nelson Fung founded Timberline Contractors after years running remodels and commercial builds across the LA basin. He learned early that the substrate matters more than the finish on top of it. That’s why we specify Unilock by name for paver driveways, patios, and permeable hardscape in Anaheim. We’re independent, meaning no manufacturer authorizes us. We install these pavers because they hold up under Anaheim conditions, and we repair them the same way: lift, re-base, re-lay, and re-sand instead of pushing a full tear-out every time.
Why Anaheim Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Most Anaheim paver problems aren’t paver problems at all. They’re base problems, edge restraint problems, or joint sand problems that got ignored until the surface showed it. We know how to tell the difference, and that diagnostic honesty saves homeowners real money. When a driveway apron starts lipping in 92804 or a patio develops rutting after two dry summers, you need someone who has opened up enough Anaheim subgrades to know what’s underneath before quoting a fix.
Our crews work both sides of Anaheim’s split. One week we’re resetting Brussels Block on a 1957 ranch in the 92801 flats where the original one-car driveway pushes tire loads right to the paver edge. The next week we’re laying Eco-Priora permeable pavers on a resort-area patio where stormwater retention rules matter. That range means we don’t treat every job like it’s the same soil, the same slope, or the same drainage pattern.
We use genuine Unilock units and matching edge restraints to keep courses and color lots consistent. For joint stabilization, we use quality aftermarket polymeric sand. On settled or rutted systems, we lift, re-base, and re-lay the existing pavers. Full replacement only happens when unit faces are spalled beyond repair or the color lot can’t be matched.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Anaheim
- Efflorescence bloom on grey-toned pavers. Anaheim’s dry-season irrigation runoff wicks salts up through joint sand after Santa Ana heat cycles, leaving a white haze on Brussels Block and Uni-Stone surfaces. It’s not a product defect. It’s a moisture-and-salts issue specific to how we water landscapes here. We clean it and adjust the base drainage so it stops coming back.
- Joint sand washout and edge restraint creep on driveway aprons. In 92801 and 92804, original narrow driveways put tire loads right at the paver edge. When the edge restraint fails, sand washes out and the field starts spreading. We reset restraints, re-sand with polymeric, and compact properly.
- Paver settlement and rutting over expansive clay flatland subgrades. Anaheim’s flatland tracts sit on clay that shrinks and swells with moisture. When a base wasn’t over-excavated and re-compacted, pavers settle unevenly and lip at the apron. We fix it by pulling the field, over-excavating, and building the base correctly.
- UV chalking and color fade on older Uni-Stone. South- and west-facing driveways in Anaheim Hills with no shade canopy get hammered by direct sun year-round. Older Uni-Stone installations show chalking and color loss. We can often re-lay with a color-matched blend or advise when replacement makes more sense.
- Turfstone shifting under vehicle loads. Turfstone is designed for grass infiltration, but when Anaheim homeowners park on it regularly without a proper base, the units shift and the grass dies back. We re-base and re-lay with the right subgrade so it holds steady.
Unilock Service in Anaheim: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Because so much of Anaheim’s flatland housing stock is renter-occupied with absentee landlords, paver driveway and patio work here often runs on a property-manager schedule. The owner lives out of state, the property manager wants photos, and nobody who signs the check ever sees the base prep. That changes how we document the job. We photo-document every stage: the over-excavation, the compacted base, the edge restraint set, the pavers re-laid, and the polymeric sand swept and activated. We send dated photos before closing anything up, because an owner in Phoenix or Denver who can’t stand on the driveway still needs to know the subgrade was done right. That documentation habit came directly from working Anaheim rentals, where trust is built through evidence, not handshakes.
On a 1957 ranch in the 92801 flats, the owner’s one-car driveway was heaving at the apron where Brussels Block had settled over unexcavated clay. We pulled the field, over-excavated and re-compacted the base, reset the edge restraint, re-laid the same units in a fresh color-matched blend, and re-sanded with polymeric. The owner got a flat, locked driveway without replacing every paver. We sent dated base-prep photos to the out-of-town landlord before closing it up. Do it right the first time or explain yourself twice.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Anaheim
We work across the four Unilock lines most common in Anaheim: Brussels Block, the workhorse for residential driveways and patios with its tumbled, classic look; Uni-Stone, a tighter-jointed paver often found on older Anaheim installations where sun fading shows up first; Turfstone, the open-grid permeable unit used for overflow parking and fire lanes; and Eco-Priora, the true permeable paver specified where Anaheim stormwater rules require infiltration. Our approach to parts is simple: genuine Unilock units for replacement to keep color lots and courses consistent, matching edge restraints, and aftermarket polymeric sand we’ve tested for Southern California joint stability. For most Anaheim jobs, we can source matching units within days, not weeks.

AfterUnilock Service Pricing in Anaheim
Paver pricing in Anaheim runs on a few variables: the size of the field, the condition of the existing base, access to the site from narrow 92801 driveways, and whether it’s a repair or a fresh install. Here are the ranges we quote from:
| Service | Typical Anaheim Range |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 – $18,000 |
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 – $11,000 |
| Driveway Replacement | $5,000 – $14,000 |
What drives cost up most often is what’s underneath. A paver job over properly compacted aggregate base goes fast. A job over unexcavated Anaheim clay goes slower, because the base has to be built before the first paver drops. Your free estimate includes an on-site look at the subgrade, drainage, and access. No guesswork, no change orders halfway through. Call (866) 253-5808 to schedule yours.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Anaheim
Can Unilock pavers handle the runoff from a resort-area hotel or tenant-improvement patio in the Anaheim Resort district? Yes, specifically Eco-Priora is designed for permeable applications, and we install it on resort-area TIs where stormwater retention is a plan-check requirement. The key is the base design and drainage layer, not just the paver on top. We size the drainage correctly for the runoff volume and compact the subbase to handle Anaheim Resort foot and maintenance-vehicle traffic. Call (866) 253-5808 for a site assessment and quote.
My 92804 driveway pavers are lipping at the apron after the last hot summer – is that the pavers or the base? Almost always the base. In 92804’s flatland clay, when the base wasn’t over-excavated and re-compacted, the subgrade moves with moisture changes and the pavers settle unevenly. The units themselves are rarely the cause. We lift, re-base, and re-lay the same pavers, which costs far less than replacement. Call (866) 253-5808 and we’ll tell you what’s actually under there.
Why do my grey Unilock pavers show white haze every dry season? That’s efflorescence, caused by irrigation runoff wicking dissolved salts up through the joint sand and depositing them on the paver surface as the water evaporates in Santa Ana heat. It’s common on grey-toned Brussels Block and Uni-Stone in Anaheim. Cleaning alone won’t stop it. We address the drainage and joint sand so the moisture path changes. Call (866) 253-5808 for an evaluation.
Do Anaheim Hills slope and defensible-space rules change how you install pavers on a canyon-edge lot? Yes. Hillside lots in 92807 and 92808 sit on sloped subgrades, often with wildfire-interface ignition-resistant requirements. We over-excavate and terrace the base in lifts to prevent paver creep downhill, use edge restraints rated for slope loads, and respect the defensible-space zones required along canyon edges. It’s a different install than flatland work. Call (866) 253-5808 and we’ll explain what your specific lot needs.
The landlord is out of state – how do we handle paver work on a rental without them on site? This is standard for us across Anaheim’s flatland rentals. We coordinate through the property manager, photo-document every stage of base prep and completion, and send dated photos to the owner before anything gets covered. You don’t need to fly in to verify the work. We’ve done this enough times to know what out-of-area owners need to see. Call (866) 253-5808 to set it up.
