Why Orlando Homeowners Choose Unilock Construction
We provide independent Unilock in Orlando construction repair and installation, from paver patios in College Park to driveway replacements in the newer subdivisions west of the city. Unilock pavers and walls hold up well in Florida, but Orlando’s sandy soil, afternoon thunderstorms, and hard water create specific failure patterns we see and fix every week. We’re not authorized by Unilock and we don’t pretend to be. What we are is a crew that has lifted, re-bedded, and reinstalled enough Unilock Brussels Block, Beacon Hill, Richcliff, and Town Hall units to know exactly how they behave after ten Orlando summers. Call (850) 920-7745 and tell us what’s happening with your pavers. We’ll give you a straight answer and a written price before any work starts.
Why Trust Mason Remodeling Co Orlando for Your Unilock Construction?
Unilock pavers are not a sideline for us. Our crews work on existing Unilock systems across Central Florida, so we’ve seen how Brussels Block holds up as a driveway surface, how Beacon Hill ages on a pool deck, and how Richcliff walls respond to Orlando’s wet-dry cycles. That field time matters more than any certificate on a wall. Because we’re independent, we can tell you when a repair makes sense and when a full replacement does, without a manufacturer’s agenda pushing one answer.
Isaac Pruett, our owner, learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent decades on real job sites before bringing that experience to Orlando. He treats a settling paver driveway the same way he treats a complicated kitchen gut-renovation: diagnose first, explain the options plainly, and put the price in writing before we touch anything. Every Unilock job we take on follows the same standard we apply to our General Contractor services and remodeling work. The crew arriving at your door is background-checked and identity-verified under the Threshold Standard. You’ll get the technician’s name and photo before the visit, and they’ll show a photo ID badge when they arrive. The price you approve is the price you pay, and your Unilock work is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right within a year of completion, we come back and make it right at no cost.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Fix in Orlando
These are the failures we see repeatedly on Unilock installations across Orlando. If you recognize one, call us at (850) 920-7745 and we’ll tell you what it will take to fix it.
- Settling and uneven pavers from sandy soil and storm washout. Much of Orlando’s west-side growth sits on former citrus groves with loose, sandy soil that shifts under a paver base. Heavy summer rain works its way under the bedding layer, and within a season or two you’ll see low spots, tripping hazards, and pavers that rock underfoot. The fix is lifting the affected area, re-compacting the base, and reinstalling the original units so the surface is flush again.
- Polymeric sand erosion in paver joints. Orlando’s frequent downpours and the pressure washing that comes with them strip the sand from between pavers faster than most homeowners expect. Once the joints go empty, pavers shift, weeds take root, and the whole surface starts moving. We remove the old degraded sand, correct any paver movement, and sweep in fresh polymeric sand that locks up once it cures.
- Edge restraint failure causing paver spread. Driveways and walkways in Orlando fail at the edges first. When the plastic or aluminum edging gives way, pavers along the perimeter start drifting outward, and the pattern opens up. On Unilock driveways we see this most often where vehicles turn onto the garage apron. We reset the edge restraints with proper spikes, pull the pavers back into alignment, and re-sand the joints.
- Efflorescence and surface staining from hard Orlando water. Unsealed Unilock pavers pull moisture up through the concrete, and Orlando’s mineral-heavy water leaves a white, chalky haze called efflorescence. Add organic debris from live oaks and the surface turns blotchy. We clean the pavers, address the moisture source where we can, and apply a breathable sealer suited to Florida’s humidity so the pavers don’t trap moisture underneath.
- Leaning Unilock Richcliff walls from improper base or drainage. A Richcliff retaining wall that starts leaning after a year usually points to a base that wasn’t prepared deep enough or drainage stone that wasn’t installed behind the wall. Water builds up, the soil gets heavy, and the wall leans. We excavate behind the wall, correct the drainage, and rebuild the affected section with the original units where possible.
Unilock Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
When we repair a Unilock system, we match the existing product line and color first. If your Brussels Block driveway is still in production and a local supplier has the units, that’s what we use. If the line has been discontinued or the color lot is too far off to blend, we source a quality aftermarket equivalent that matches the size and finish of the original. We’ll tell you which direction we’re going before we order anything, because the last thing you want is a patch that announces itself from the street.
Our bias is repair. A localized low spot or a broken edge unit doesn’t justify tearing out an entire patio. We lift what’s damaged, fix the base, and reinstall what’s still good. That keeps your cost down and keeps original Unilock units in place. We recommend full replacement when the base failure is widespread, the pattern is opened up across most of the surface, or the pavers themselves are cracked and spalled beyond salvage. Call (850) 920-7745 and we’ll give you an honest assessment, not a sales pitch.
Our Unilock Service Process – Step by Step
We keep this simple so you know exactly what to expect from the first call to the final walkthrough.
- 1
Diagnosis. We inspect the paver or wall system, check the base and edge restraints, and identify what’s actually causing the problem. For a settling Unilock driveway, that means looking past the low spot to the soil underneath and the drainage around it.
- 2
Written quote and scope. Before any work starts, you get a written price that lists what we’ll do, what materials we’ll use, and what the finished result will look like. No verbal estimate that grows on the final bill.
- 3
Repair or installation. Our crew lifts the affected pavers, corrects the base and edging, reinstalls the units, and re-sands the joints. For new installations, we compact the base in lifts, set proper edge restraints, and lay the Unilock pattern to the manufacturer’s spec.
- 4
Testing and cleanup. We run water across the surface to check drainage, walk the area to confirm every paver sits tight, and clean up the site at the end of the day. Your yard shouldn’t look like a construction zone when we’re gone.
- 5
365-Day Done Right Promise. Every Unilock job we complete is covered in writing for a full year from the completion date. If something isn’t right, we come back at no charge.

AfterUnilock Products We Service & Install in Orlando
We work on the Unilock lines most common in Central Florida, including Unilock Construction in Orlovista, FL and surrounding areas: Brussels Block, the tumbled paver you see on driveways and walkways throughout Orlando’s older neighborhoods; Beacon Hill, a flagstone-look paver popular around pools and patios; Richcliff, a modular retaining wall and paver system used for garden walls and small seat walls; and Town Hall, a classic brick-style paver that shows up on porches and walkways across the metro area. We also install new paver patios, paver driveways, and driveway replacements using Unilock products when that’s the right fit for your project and budget.
We Also Service These Brands
Unilock is one part of what we do. Our crews also install and service KraftMaid cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone quartz surfaces, and Kohler fixtures as part of our broader remodeling and construction work. If your project touches hardscape and interior finishes, one call covers it.
FAQs – Unilock Construction Service in Orlando
Yes, in most cases we can. We lift the settled or damaged section, re-compact the base, reinstall the original Brussels Block units, and re-sand the joints. The result is a repair that blends with the surrounding surface. Full replacement only makes sense when the base has failed across most of the driveway or the pavers themselves are cracked beyond reuse. Call (850) 920-7745 for an assessment and a written quote.
Orlando’s afternoon thunderstorms flood the paver surface faster than the joints can shed water, and the runoff carries loose sand with it. Once the polymeric sand degrades or wasn’t applied deep enough, the joints empty out and the pavers start to shift. We remove the old sand, correct any paver movement, and sweep in fresh polymeric sand that sets up and resists washout much better. Call (850) 920-7745 and we’ll get you scheduled.
We match original Unilock Beacon Hill units whenever they’re available from local suppliers. If the color lot from your installation is no longer produced, we source a quality aftermarket equivalent that matches the size and finish, and we’ll show you a sample before we install it. You’ll always know what’s going in your patio before it goes in.
A leaning Richcliff wall almost always points to a base that wasn’t compacted deep enough or drainage stone that’s missing behind the wall. Water builds up in the soil, the pressure pushes the wall forward, and the lean gets worse with every storm. We excavate behind the wall, install proper drainage, and rebuild the affected section using the original units where they’re still sound. Call (850) 920-7745 and we’ll take a look.
Yes. We clean the pavers to remove efflorescence and organic staining, then apply a breathable sealer suited to Florida’s humid climate. The sealer reduces water absorption, which slows both hard water staining and mold growth, while still allowing moisture to escape from below. For an exact price on sealing your Unilock surface, call (850) 920-7745 and we’ll measure and quote it.
