Unilock Construction in Mountain View, CA | Moreno Valley Builders
We install and repair Unilock in Loyola and across Mountain View, CA. The thing that separates good Unilock work here from average work is understanding Eichler-era drainage. Those flat and low-slope roofs shed water in concentrated bursts, and if the hardscape below isn’t graded for that, the pavers fail. We handle base prep, drainage, and installation as one scope. Call (877) 752-3154 for a free estimate.
Why Mountain View Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
We’re an independent Unilock contractor, not a dealer or manufacturer representative. That distinction matters. Our credibility comes from setting Unilock in Sunnyvale and Mountain View on a mix of post-and-beam Eichler slabs and newer infill lots, where base prep and drainage decide whether the pavers hold. We specify, excavate, and compact the base ourselves rather than handing off to subs who’ve never dealt with a low-slope roof dumping rainwater onto a new patio.
Noel Trevino grew up in the Sunnymead Ranch area of Moreno Valley and has spent the better part of three decades building and renovating homes. He picked up framing, concrete, and mechanical systems at Riverside City College, then spent years fixing the kind of work that looked fine until the first rain. If the details aren’t right on paper, they won’t be right in the wall. That’s the standard Mountain View General Contractor brings to every Unilock field. One contractor. Every phase.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Mountain View
- Joint-sand washout and efflorescence from roof runoff. Mountain View’s Eichler-era homes discharge roof water through scuppers in concentrated bursts. When that water hits a paver field that was never graded to accept it, the joint sand washes out and white mineral deposits bloom across the surface. We see this constantly in the flat-roof neighborhoods near downtown.
- Edge restraint failure at driveway aprons. Many Mountain View homes built in the 1950s and 60s still have their original concrete aprons. When a new paver driveway meets an apron that has settled or heaved on its own schedule, the edge restraint pops and the outer pavers drift. We saw this exact failure on a Brussels Block driveway off Shoreline Boulevard.
- Base settlement over leftover fill. When an old concrete walk or patio gets removed, some crews leave the underlying fill in place and build right on top. It compacts unevenly. Pavers sink. The fix always means re-excavating to a proper open-graded base, not just re-setting the top layer.
- Differential heaving where pavers meet radiant-slab foundations. A radiant slab stays warm enough in winter to drive moisture migration at the paver-to-structure transition. That freeze-thaw stress shows up as lifted or rutted pavers right at the foundation line. It’s a Mountain View-specific condition tied directly to the Eichler building method.
- Widespread settlement that points to base failure, not paver failure. An isolated spalled unit is a lift-and-reset job. A field showing settlement across multiple courses almost always means the base failed. Full re-prep is the honest call, and it’s the one we make.
Unilock Service in Mountain View: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Mountain View’s original Eichler-era homes have flat and low-slope roofs with no attic and often radiant slab heating. Roof water discharges through scuppers and box drains in concentrated bursts straight onto whatever hardscape sits below. That means a paver patio here has to be designed around point-source runoff from the house, not just street grading. It’s a condition the pitched-roof tract neighborhoods nearby never present. A standard Unilock install pulled from a generic playbook fails here because the design never accounted for where the roof actually puts its water. We grade every field to move that water away from the slab, with the drain located where the scupper actually discharges, not where it’s convenient. That’s the difference between a patio that reads as continuous for a decade and one that washes out in two seasons. Our Unilock sales & service work across Mountain View starts with that drainage question before we ever order a single Brussels Block unit.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Mountain View
We install and repair the Unilock lines that hold up best on Silicon Valley lots: Brussels Block, Brussels Dimensional, Town Hall, and Beacon Hill. We use genuine Unilock units and their matching edge restraint and joint sand systems. No third-party look-alikes. Blend and dimension consistency is what keeps a field visually continuous years later, and generic units never quite match. For repair work, we stock common Brussels Block and Town Hall units locally so a Mountain View lift-and-reset doesn’t stall waiting on a freight shipment from the Midwest.

AfterUnilock Service Pricing in Mountain View
What drives cost on a Mountain View Unilock project is base depth, drainage complexity, and access. An Eichler lot with a tight side yard and a scupper dumping onto the field costs more to prep properly than a flat, open backyard on a newer infill lot. Here’s what you should expect to budget:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 – $11,000 |
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 – $18,000 |
| Driveway Replacement | $5,000 – $14,000 |
| Driveway Sealing | $250 – $700 |

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Mountain View
No. We’re an independent Unilock contractor. We buy genuine Unilock units through the distribution network, but we’re not affiliated with the manufacturer. What that means for you: our loyalty is to the installation quality, not a sales quota. We recommend the Unilock product that fits your Mountain View lot, whether that’s Brussels Block for a mid-century ranch or Beacon Hill for a newer build.
Yes. We install genuine Unilock units with their matching edge restraint and joint sand systems. No generic substitutes. The reason is dimensional consistency. A look-alike unit may be off by a millimeter or two in thickness, and over a 400-square-foot patio that shows up as lippage and uneven courses. Call (877) 752-3154 if you want a quote on a repair with genuine Unilock replacement units.
Most paver patio installations in Mountain View run three to five working days, including excavation, base prep, laying, and joint sand. Add a day or two if we’re re-engineering drainage away from an Eichler scupper discharge. We’ll give you a written schedule before work begins, and we hold to it.
Brussels Block leads by a wide margin. It suits the mid-century ranch and Eichler aesthetic, it’s available quickly through the distribution channel, and it handles the drainage-heavy installs we do near downtown well. Town Hall runs second, mostly on newer infill construction where the architecture wants a cleaner, more contemporary line. Beacon Hill and Brussels Dimensional round out the set for homeowners who want a different scale or finish.
Expect $3,500 to $11,000 depending on square footage, access, and drainage scope. A simple field on a flat lot sits at the lower end. A patio that has to be graded to shed scupper discharge and re-routed around a radiant-slab foundation runs higher because the base work is more involved. For an exact number, call (877) 752-3154 and we’ll measure the site and price it line by line.
