We’ve installed and repaired Unilock systems since 2007, from driveway replacements in Woodfield Country Club to Unilock repair in Deerfield Beach and patio installations near Mizner Park. Our crews know the difference between a surface stain and a base failure, and we quote every job with a flat written price before any work starts - Clause 1 of The Haven Standard.

Why Trust Rowan Construction Group Boca Raton for Your Unilock Construction?

Our technicians work with Unilock products daily, not occasionally. Grant Rowan, who grew up in Beverly Hills, CA, where his father handed him his first framing square at age nine and later trained in construction technology at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, built this company on the principle that documentation comes before demolition. That discipline shows in our Unilock work: we photograph the existing condition, measure base depths, and record joint spacing before we lift a single paver.

We stock Unilock OEM pavers, edge restraints, and polymeric sand for color-matched repairs, and we source quality aftermarket base aggregate where Unilock does not supply it. Our repair approach protects whatever warranty coverage remains on your installation - we don’t cut corners with off-spec materials that shift liability onto you. Every crew member is background-checked and uniformed; a live person answers our phones 24/7; and you receive a documented photo record on every visit, included as standard, not an upgrade.

Our 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every Unilock project: if it’s not done right, we make it right. The guarantee is printed on every page and backed by a terms page, not an asterisk. “Measure twice, document everything, then build.” That’s how we’ve kept 4,000-plus projects within a few percent of the agreed price since 2007.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Fix in Boca Raton

• Efflorescence bloom on Brussels Block and Beacon Hill. In Boca Raton’s humid salt air, calcium hydroxide migrates to paver surfaces and crystallizes into a white, chalky film. Homeowners often mistake this for failed sealer and pay for unnecessary re-sealing. We diagnose efflorescence with a simple water test - if it dissolves and reappears when dry, it’s not a sealer problem. The correct fix is a mild acid wash followed by proper drying time before any protective treatment.
• Polymeric sand washout on Umbriano driveways. Tropical downpours in Palm Beach County can strip joint sand in a single season if the sand wasn’t compacted to Unilock’s specified depth or if the pavers were installed before the sand fully set. We see this repeatedly on driveways where the original crew rushed the final step. Our repair removes the remaining loose sand, re-fills with Unilock-specified polymeric sand, compacts to depth, and activates with a controlled water mist - not a pressure washer.
• Edge restraint separation on Tribeca Cobble driveways. Spike-and-plate edge systems fail regularly in Florida’s sandy substrate; the spikes pull out, the plate lifts, and the field pavers migrate outward. We replace these with concrete haunch edges or heavy-duty aluminum restraint anchored properly into a concrete curb, which matches the aesthetic requirements of Boca Raton’s Architectural Review Boards while actually holding the line.
• Base settlement and paver rocking on patios. When an installer lays Unilock units on 3 inches of aggregate instead of the 4-6 inches of compacted base Unilock specifies, the pavers rock under foot traffic and furniture. In Boca Raton’s oolitic limestone substrate, with the water table sitting 2-4 feet below grade, proper base prep is non-negotiable. We pull the field, add and compact aggregate in lifts, then relay with new bedding sand.
• Sealer degradation from UV and salt exposure. Boca Raton’s Atlantic coastline exposure accelerates sealer breakdown on driveways and pool decks. We evaluate whether re-sealing is appropriate for the specific Unilock product - some lines hold sealer better than others - and we use breathable sealers that won’t trap efflorescence beneath the surface.

Unilock Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach

We use Unilock OEM pavers, edge restraints, and their specified polymeric sand for repairs so texture and color match the existing field. For base material, we use quality aftermarket aggregate where Unilock does not supply it - typically ASTM C33 concrete sand and crushed limestone base that meets Florida Building Code for flexible pavement.

Our repair-vs-replace decision is straightforward. When the base is sound and only 10-15% of pavers are failing, we repair and re-sand. If the base has failed across the driveway or patio - if we find inadequate depth, poor compaction, or organic contamination - we recommend full re-lift and re-install rather than patch-over work. A patch on a bad base fails again in two years, and we don’t build two-year solutions. Call (754) 254-8065 for an exact quote on your situation - estimates are free.

Our Unilock Service Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   Diagnosis with documentation. We photograph the full installation, measure base depth where accessible, test joint sand integrity, and check edge restraint anchorage. You receive this photo record before we quote.
2. 2
   Written flat-price quote. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, we deliver a written price with scope, materials list, and timeline before any work starts. No change proceeds without a signed change order.
3. 3
   Repair or install to Unilock spec. We lift failed areas, rebuild base in compacted lifts, install Unilock OEM materials, and set polymeric sand to manufacturer’s depth and activation protocol.
4. 4
   Compaction and testing. We plate-compact the field, verify no rocking or lippage, and flood-test joints for sand stability before final walkthrough.
5. 5
   Warranty documentation. You receive a written warranty, final photo record, and maintenance guidance specific to your Unilock product and Boca Raton’s climate.

FAQs - Unilock Construction Service in Boca Raton

Why do my Unilock Umbriano driveway joints keep losing sand in Boca Raton?

Joint sand loss on Umbriano in our climate usually traces to two causes: polymeric sand that wasn’t compacted to Unilock’s specified depth before water activation, or premature exposure to heavy rain before the sand had fully cured. Tropical downpours can strip improperly set sand in hours. We remove the remaining loose material, re-fill with Unilock-specified polymeric sand, compact to depth, and control the activation process. Call (754) 254-8065 for an exact quote - estimates are free.

Can you repair a section of Unilock Brussels Block instead of replacing the whole driveway?

Yes, if the base beneath the failed section is sound. We pull the affected pavers, inspect base depth and compaction, and if the substrate meets spec, we relay with matching Unilock OEM units and fresh polymeric sand. Our crew was called to a Boca Raton home with a 12-year-old Brussels Block driveway where the pavers were rocking and shifting near the apron after a summer of heavy rain. We pulled the affected field, found the original installer had laid pavers on about 3 inches of base instead of Unilock’s recommended compacted depth, and re-built the section with proper aggregate, new Unilock edge restraint, and Unilock polymeric sand. The repaired drive has held through two wet seasons with no movement or sand loss.

Does Unilock pavers need sealing in Florida’s climate?

Sealing is optional for most Unilock lines and primarily cosmetic - it deepens color and provides some stain resistance. In Boca Raton’s UV-intense, salt-air environment, sealers degrade faster than inland markets, requiring reapplication every 2-3 years rather than 4-5. We evaluate whether the maintenance commitment matches your expectations before recommending sealer. Some Unilock products, like Umbriano with its exposed aggregate surface, hold sealer unevenly and may look blotchy if treated.

What base depth does Unilock require for a driveway in South Florida?

Unilock specifies 4-6 inches of compacted aggregate base for residential driveways, with the deeper end for clay or poorly drained soils. In Boca Raton’s sandy substrate with high water table, we typically install 6 inches of compacted crushed limestone base in lifts, plus a 1-inch bedding sand course. Anything less risks the settlement and rocking we see on too many local installations. We measure and photograph base depth during diagnosis so you know what you’re paying for.

How long after a Unilock paver installation can we drive on it?

We recommend 48-72 hours before vehicle traffic to allow polymeric sand to fully cure and edge restraints to set. In Boca Raton’s humid climate, the longer end of that range is safer. We provide specific guidance based on the products used and weather conditions at completion. Rushing this step is a leading cause of early joint failure.
