Unilock Construction in Pajaro, CA | Framework Contractors
Framework Contractors provides independent Unilock paver and wall installation across Pajaro, CA (95076), and nearby communities needing Las Lomas Unilock service. We’re not an authorized dealer, and that’s the point: our first job is checking your flood-line history and drainage before we ever lay a paver. In a town that took river water in March 2023, that check is worth more than any sales pitch. Call (844) 681-3590 with questions or to schedule a free estimate.
Why Pajaro Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Noel Carbajal has spent nearly three decades building across California, and he runs our crews the way he learned in the Santiago Canyon College construction program: read the ground before you build on it. That habit matters more in Pajaro than almost anywhere we work. The flat floodplain geography means a patio that looks ready for pavers can be sitting on saturated subgrade that will heave and shift after one wet winter. We bring Unilock sales & service experience to every Pajaro job, but we start with what the water did to your lot before we talk paver colors.
Our approach is simple. We install genuine Unilock pavers and matching edge restraint components, and we build bases that actually drain. If your existing patio is settling, we’ll tell you honestly whether it needs a base-and-sand re-lay or a full rebuild. Most Pajaro homeowners appreciate that candor. So do we.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Pajaro
- Rutting and lateral creep over undersized bases. When Unilock pavers are laid on a thin or poorly compacted granular base, they drift and dip under load. In Pajaro’s floodplain, the subgrade saturates every winter, and a base built for dry-inland conditions will shift visibly by spring.
- Edge settling and lippage along driveway aprons and patio borders. Missing or shallow edge restraint lets pavers separate at the perimeter. The atmospheric-river storms that swell the Pajaro River push runoff across flat lots, washing out the joint sand and leaving edges proud and uneven.
- Efflorescence and salt bloom on Brussels and Beacon Hill pavers. That white chalky film comes from water wicking up through a base that never drains. High seasonal water tables on Pajaro flood-zone lots make this a recurring spring complaint.
- Joint-sand erosion and paver migration on walkways that double as drainage paths. When a paver walkway is the low route for storm runoff, polymeric sand washes out repeatedly. We see this on lots where the 2023 flood left shallow yard grades that still channel water toward the house.
- Total base failure after flood saturation. A patio or driveway built over a base that held river water for days will keep failing no matter how many pavers you replace. The failure is underneath, not on top. Patching pavers over it just pushes the problem to next rainy season.
Unilock Service in Pajaro: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Because Pajaro flooded in the March 2023 levee breach on the Pajaro River, any paver patio or driveway we quote here starts with a look at the flood-line staining and mud-silt in the crawl space and yard. That’s the information-gain detail that separates Pajaro work from, say, Amesti Unilock service or a job in Watsonville or Interlaken, where the terrain drains differently. On a raised-floor home off a low-lying Pajaro street, we checked a crawl space before quoting a Brussels patio and found mud-silt from 2023 still caked under the floor joists. We cut out the saturated original base, rebuilt it with a sloped, free-draining granular section and Unilock edge restraint, and set Brussels Dimensional pavers with polymeric joint sand pitched away from the foundation. The next atmospheric-river storm will shed water instead of pooling against the house. A contractor who skips that crawl-space check is quoting a patio that may not survive its first wet winter. We won’t do that here.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Pajaro
Our crews work with the full Unilock hardscape system, including the Brussels Dimensional and Brussels Block paver lines, Beacon Hill flagstone-style pavers, Richcliff for a more structured, architectural look, and Elegance for permeable paver-slab applications where drainage is the whole assignment. We install genuine Unilock pavers and matching Unilock edge restraint components so color and dimensional consistency hold across the project. For repair work, we stock common replacement pavers and restraint materials locally to keep Pajaro turnaround fast, and we source OEM-spec components rather than substituting mismatched off-brand pieces. A patio is only as good as its least consistent joint.

AfterUnilock Service Pricing in Pajaro
Pajaro pricing for Unilock construction reflects the same base-and-drainage realities we’ve been describing. Here’s where typical projects land:
| Project | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 – $11,000 |
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 – $18,000 |
| Driveway Replacement | $5,000 – $14,000 |
What moves the number is subgrade condition, square footage, paver profile, and how much base rebuild the flood history demands. A small, flat yard with clean subgrade starts at the low end. A patio over mud-silt and failed base from 2023 runs toward the high end because we’re rebuilding the foundation, not just laying pavers. Every estimate includes a written line-item quote and the drainage evaluation. Call (844) 681-3590 for an exact number. Estimates are free.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Pajaro
No. We are an independent contractor with years of hands-on experience installing the Unilock system – base prep, edge restraint, polymeric joint sand, and compaction done to the spec each paver profile requires. We’re not tied to moving any particular SKU, which means our recommendation is based on what your Pajaro lot actually needs. Call (844) 681-3590 and we’ll tell you straight what the ground requires.
Yes. We install genuine Unilock pavers and matching Unilock edge/restraint components for color and dimensional consistency. Mixing off-brand replacements creates joints that read wrong and wear unevenly. For a settled patio where the base is still sound, we’ll re-lay the existing pavers on fresh sand and re-sand the joints. Where flood saturation undermined the subgrade, we rebuild the base first.
A standard patio runs three to six working days, depending on access and how much base replacement the flood history requires. A driveway runs a week or more. If we’re cutting out a saturated old base and rebuilding it, the timeline extends – but skipping that step means redoing the whole job after the next wet winter. Call (844) 681-3590 for a schedule based on your specific property.
We install and repair the Brussels Dimensional and Brussels Block lines, Beacon Hill, Richcliff, and Elegance permeable pavers. Each profile has different base and joint requirements. We’ll match your existing pavers for repairs or spec the right line for new construction based on your Pajaro drainage conditions.
Paver patio installation in Pajaro typically runs $3,500 to $11,000. Flood-zone subgrade, crawl-space condition, paver selection, and square footage all move that number. The only way to get a real price is to have the ground checked. Call (844) 681-3590 to schedule a free estimate – we’ll check the flood-line staining and silt before we quote, not after.
