We’re Polaris Contractors, and we provide independent Unilock paver installation and repair across Cypress, CA 90630 and Unilock in Stanton. Rick Sondermann leads our team, and we’ve worked on Unilock hardscapes in this city long enough to know that the tight, built-out lots here change how paver work gets done. Our approach is simple: we plan every Unilock project around existing roots, setbacks, and drainage before the first paver gets set.

Why Cypress Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service

Most Cypress homeowners don’t realize that Unilock pavers behave differently depending on soil, sun exposure, and how close you are to mature trees. We do. Our crews have installed and repaired Unilock systems across Cypress for over a decade, from Brussels Block driveways to Beacon Hill patios and Town Hall walkways. We’re an independent Unilock contractor, not manufacturer-authorized, but that independence means we give you honest guidance: repair the section that’s failing instead of replacing a whole field when 80% of it is still solid. Rick’s background in building technology from Saddleback College and nearly three decades of coastal Orange County construction taught him exactly what happens when base prep gets rushed, especially on clay soil. We bring that same discipline to every paver job.

We’re also a full-scope general contractor, which matters in Cypress. Your Unilock patio might need a retaining wall rebuilt first, or your driveway replacement might expose a drainage issue that needs correcting before pavers go down. One team handles it all. For broader context on what we offer, see our Unilock sales & service page.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Cypress

• Efflorescence and salt bloom on Brussels Block and Town Hall pavers. Cypress summers are warm and dry, and winter rain pulls minerals up through the paver surface, leaving white chalky deposits. Poor base drainage on tight lots makes it worse. We clean it properly and adjust base drainage so it doesn’t come back in a season.
• Edge restraint failure and paver migration on driveways. The expansive clay soils under older Cypress tract homes shift with moisture. Without proper edge restraints, Unilock pavers start moving, causing lippage and joint sand loss. We reset the affected area with OEM edge restraints and correct the base so the fix lasts.
• Color fading on Elegance and Beacon Hill pavers. South- and west-facing hardscapes in Cypress get hammered by UV and Santa Ana wind-driven dust. We can match replacement pavers to the existing color tone and educate you on sealing options that reduce further wear.
• Joint sand washout in narrow side yards. Cypress is dense. Roof runoff concentrates in those skinny walkways between tract homes and washes joint sand out fast. We re-grade the slope, re-sand with polymeric sand, and often add a small channel drain to redirect water.
• Sunken patios and driveways from poor original compaction. Older Cypress homes were built fast. The original patios and driveways were often poured over minimal base. When we pull the old slab and install Unilock pavers, we compact in lifts and use geotextile fabric so the new surface stays flat.

Unilock Service in Cypress: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Project

Here’s a fact that separates Cypress from most cities we work in: there is no open land. Every Unilock project here is infill. We’re cutting pavers around 1950s and 1970s tract-home foundations, navigating mature root zones from trees planted forty years ago, and respecting shared property lines where a neighbor’s driveway sits inches from yours. In the Rochdale-style tract homes near Cypress College, we recently removed a failing 1970s concrete driveway and a sunken patio slab behind the house. We installed a Unilock Brussels Block driveway with OEM edge restraints and a Beacon Hill patio, cutting pavers around two mature ficus roots and tying drainage into the existing yard swale. The homeowner got a 12-inch wider usable driveway that met Orange County setback rules without encroaching on the neighbor’s line. That’s the reality of paver work in Cypress: you plan around what’s already there, not the other way around. Rick’s rule applies here: do it right the first time, because the second time always costs more. This is exactly the kind of work covered through our Cypress service area coverage.
