Unilock Construction in Anaheim, CA | Sycamore Contractors
We provide independent Unilock construction and hardscape service across Anaheim, from paver driveways in the 1950s tracts to patios and walls in Anaheim Hills. Here’s the thing that separates us: we’ve installed Unilock systems in all three of this city’s housing eras, so we design bases and edge restraints for Anaheim’s expansive clay and Santa Ana wind conditions, not for a generic Southern California lot. We are not affiliated with Unilock, which means our only job is getting your paver work done right for your specific street and your specific permit office. Call (877) 265-6284 and we’ll take a look.
Why Anaheim Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Most hardscape crews in Anaheim know how to lay pavers on a flat, clean site. That’s not where we earn our keep. We earn it when the job sits on shrinking clay in the dry season, or when the city’s design review board wants a full color submittal before you can touch the driveway, or when a shallow galvanized water line is hiding under the old slab. That’s where our experience with Unilock’s product line and Anaheim’s specific conditions starts to matter.
Nate Calloway, our owner, has spent twenty years in residential construction trade work across Southern California. He’ll tell you the same thing he tells every Anaheim homeowner: pick the paver profile that actually holds up to the local soil, and build the base like it’s going to sit there for thirty years. That’s why we carry Unilock’s own edge restraints, joint sand, and base materials, not generic substitutes. Aftermarket restraints often fail under Anaheim’s clay movement and wind exposure. We’ll always tell you when re-leveling and re-sanding existing pavers is the honest fix versus a full replacement. For more on how we approach the brand, see our Unilock sales & service page.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Anaheim
- Paver heave and joint-sand loss from expansive clay. Anaheim’s dry season pulls moisture from the soil under driveways and patios, and when clay shrinks and swells, pavers lift and joints open. We fix this with deeper over-excavation, proper aggregate base, and Unilock edge restraints rated for movement.
- Edge restraint failure after Santa Ana winds. The Oct-Nov wind season drives dust and sand abrasion across exposed paver fields, which erodes joint sand and loosens generic plastic edging. We replace it with Unilock’s restraints, set deep enough that the wind doesn’t work them loose.
- Damage from shallow utilities in west Anaheim’s 1950s tracts. Original galvanized plumbing lines often run shallow under slab-on-grade homes from the 1950s. Excavation for a paver base without hand-digging can clip those lines. We mark and hand-excavate around utility runs before bringing in equipment.
- Resort-district design-review rejections. If your property falls within Anaheim’s resort-entertainment overlay, the city can reject a paver color or pattern that’s already installed. We handle the submittal process before the first paver is ordered.
- Joint-sand washout on hillside lots. Anaheim Hills properties with slope drainage issues lose joint sand faster than flat lots. We address surface drainage first, then set pavers with the right joint material and pitch.
Unilock Service in Anaheim: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
The resort-entertainment district around Disneyland has sweeping design-review and building-code overlays for anything visible from the parks. That means a Unilock paver driveway or patio within that zone can require color and pattern submittals that would never be asked for on a typical west Anaheim tract lot five miles away. A hardscape crew that doesn’t pull those submittals can leave you with an installed driveway the city won’t sign off on. That’s not a guess. It happens here. If you’re inside that overlay, your project runs on a different schedule than a neighbor a few streets over in the 92801 ZIP code. We account for that from the first site visit. For a broader look at the areas we cover, see the Anaheim service area page.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Anaheim
We install and service the bulk of Unilock’s paver and wall portfolio, including Brussels Block and Brussels Dimensional for driveways and patios, plus Beacon Hill for more formal walkways and entries. Where a homeowner wants a different look entirely, we’ll talk through alternatives like Techo-Bloc’s Blanco and Travertina lines alongside Unilock, so you’re choosing from real options, not whatever we happen to have in the yard. For Anaheim jobs, we keep Unilock’s own edge restraints and joint sand on hand for fast turnaround on repairs and re-leveling. Independent service means we use the OEM materials you’d expect without being beholden to a single distributor for parts.

AfterUnilock Service Pricing in Anaheim
Pavers are priced by square footage, base depth, and access. Clay-heavy Anaheim lots often need deeper over-excavation than a standard install, and homes in the resort district can carry additional submittal and review time. Here’s how pricing typically breaks down for the work we’re describing on this page:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 – $18,000 |
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 – $11,000 |
| Driveway Replacement | $5,000 – $14,000 |
Every estimate includes a site visit, a written line-item quote, and the base-prep detail specific to your soil and drainage. No change orders hiding behind vague language. Call (877) 265-6284 for an exact quote on your Anaheim property.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Anaheim
Most paver driveway and patio replacements in Anaheim require a city permit, and if your property sits within the resort-entertainment district overlay, you’ll likely need design-review approval for color and pattern before installation. The overlay triggers submittals that a standard west Anaheim tract lot of the same age wouldn’t face. We handle the paperwork and the submittal package so the review doesn’t stall your project. Call (877) 265-6284 and we’ll check your property’s specific requirements.
It’s the first thing we check. Anaheim’s dry-season clay movement is the primary cause of paver heave and joint-sand loss on driveways and patios across the city. The fix is deeper over-excavation, compacted aggregate base, and Unilock edge restraints that can move with the soil instead of fighting it. Skip any of that and you’ll see the same failures in one or two dry seasons.
Brussels Block reads as an older-profile paver and fits the Cape Cod and Craftsman-hybrid homes that dominate the 1950s-60s tracts in central and west Anaheim. Brussels Dimensional gives a cleaner edge for smaller driveways where a continuous border helps the front yard feel more finished. We’ll show you both on-site so you can see how they look against your home’s existing colors.
Sometimes yes, but it depends on the slope and drainage. Many Anaheim Hills lots handle a paver patio fine with proper base depth and surface pitch. A steeper slope may require a small retaining wall or grade beam to keep the patio from creeping. We won’t sell you a wall if the grade doesn’t need one, and we won’t skip one if it does.
Once the base is compacted and the edge restraints are set, you can typically drive on the paver surface the same day the final sanding is done. During Anaheim’s dry season, joint sand settles faster, so we’ll schedule a re-sand after the first week so the joints stay tight through the summer. Call (877) 265-6284 for a timeline specific to your job.
