Unilock Construction in Redlands, CA | Polaris Contractors
Unilock paver and wall work across Redlands runs through our crew, and we’re an independent hardscape and construction team – not a manufacturer-authorized shop. The split between Redlands’ historic-core homes and the WUI foothill lots against the Crafton Hills is what shapes our Unilock work here, and it’s why we start with soil and slope before we ever talk paver color. As a Redlands General Contractor, Polaris Contractors serves all of Redlands, including 92373, 92374, and 92375. Call (855) 473-6535 for a free estimate on Unilock driveways, patios, and walls.
Why Redlands Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
We handle the full Unilock scope – Brussels Block and Brussels Dimensional System driveways, Beacon Hill Flagstone patios, Yorkville walkways, and U-Cara or Artline retaining walls. Led by Rick Sondermann, our crew has spent years reading Redlands’ decomposed-granite and clay soils, and we know from direct observation that a paver that performs well on a flat Rancho Cucamonga lot can fail fast on a hillside terrace here. We’re a single-source general contractor, so the same team that grades your Unilock driveway can also handle the roof, windows, or a prefab ADU addition if the project grows. Unilock sales & service for Redlands homes come down to who manages the base – and that’s us.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Redlands
- Efflorescence on Brussels Block and Yorkville pavers. Redlands’ hot inland summers keep paver surfaces hot, and irrigation overspray on gray-toned units cycles them wet-dry all summer long. That pulls salts to the face of the paver, leaving a whitish bloom. We clean it and adjust the water pattern so it doesn’t return.
- Rutting and joint sand loss on east-side driveways. The decomposed-granite and expansive clay common on east-side and Crafton Hills lots swells and shrinks with moisture. A base that’s even two inches too thin lets Brussels Block pavers settle into shallow ruts, and Santa Ana winds strip the loose joint sand. We rebuild the base, not just the surface.
- Faded or chipped flagstone-profile pavers. Foothill-edge yards in Redlands take UV, windblown grit, and debris driven by Santa Ana winds. Beacon Hill Flagstone units with shallow face relief get sandblasted and sun-bleached. We replace individual units and bring the surrounding base and edge restraint back to spec.
- Bulging or leaning U-Cara and Artline retaining walls. Hillside terraces that were built without proper geogrid and drainage behind the block eventually push outward. In Redlands, this shows up most on older walls doing double duty as hillside terracing. We pull the wall, install drainage and grid, and rebuild it.
- Failed edges on Unilock patios and walkways. Without solid edge restraint, the perimeter units loosen and the whole field shifts. On Redlands hillside lots, gravity makes this worse. We reset edges with proper restraint and re-sweep the joints with polymeric sand.
Unilock Service in Redlands: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Pavers
Redlands sits against the Crafton Hills and the San Bernardino National Forest foothills, and that’s not a scenic detail – it changes the spec on every paver job east of downtown. WUI-related requirements around ember-resistant detailing and defensible space push hardscape choices toward non-combustible surfaces and away from bark or wood edging near the foundation line. On a hillside lot off the Crafton Hills edge, we replaced a heaved Brussels Block driveway where the original base had been laid too thin over expansive soil – we pulled the pavers, re-excavated, rebuilt the base with proper compaction and edge restraint, and reset the units. The homeowner got a flat, stable driveway that also held up through the next Santa Ana wind season without joint sand blowing out. This is not the same conversation you’d have in flat, interior Inland Empire subdivisions. If your property is in the Redlands foothill zone, we design the base, drainage, and surface to handle fire-season maintenance and winter-rain runoff together.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Redlands
We install and repair the Unilock lines most homes in Redlands actually use: Brussels Block and Brussels Dimensional System for driveways, Beacon Hill Flagstone for patios and walkways, Yorkville Smooth and Yorkville Dimensional for a tighter, contemporary face, and U-Cara or Artline for retaining and freestanding walls. For visible surfaces we source genuine Unilock units and matching joint or polymeric sand so the finished face reads correct. Base aggregate, geotextile, and edge restraint come from regional suppliers – because those materials, not the paver itself, control whether a Redlands driveway stays flat. If a paver course is settling from a failed base, we’ll tell you plainly: re-laying over a rebuilt base is the only honest fix.
