ECO Window Systems Driveway & Pavers: The Woodland Hills Owner’s Guide
If your ECO Window Systems driveway or paver hardscape is showing cracks, settling, or drainage failure, replacement work in Woodland Hills typically runs $7,000 – $18,000 for a full paver driveway install, with patio pavers landing between $3,500 and $11,000. We stock replacement pavers and matching edge restraints for ECO Window Systems-compatible layouts, and we can usually assess your property within a few days of your call. Most homeowners discover the problem after a winter rain, when water pools against the foundation instead of draining, or when a paver shifts underfoot and turns a walkway into a trip hazard.
One thing worth knowing up front: Mason Remodeling Co Woodland Hills is an independent contractor. We’re not affiliated with ECO Window Systems, but we’ve worked with their hardscape lines for years and know how their pavers behave in Southern California soil and sun.
Which ECO Window Systems Models This Applies To
ECO Window Systems is better known for windows, doors, and exterior glazing products, but many Woodland Hills homes built or renovated in the last decade paired those installations with hardscape packages sourced through the same regional distributors. When we say “ECO Window Systems driveway & pavers,” we’re talking about the interlocking concrete paver units and permeable paver systems that were installed alongside ECO Window Systems window and door packages, often in the same build. These are typically 60mm or 80mm interlocking concrete pavers in modular sizes: 4″x8″, 8″x8″, or 12″x12″ stretcher-bond layouts.
Here’s the compatibility gotcha most people miss: ECO Window Systems-adjacent paver jobs from the early 2010s in Woodland Hills frequently used a 60mm paver thickness that’s no longer common in production runs. Modern replacement pavers are often 80mm. If you lay an 80mm paver next to a 60mm original, you get lippage, which is a tripping hazard and looks wrong. We measure before we order. If you can find your original invoice or packing slip, look for the thickness code; if you can’t, we’ll pull a sample and match it.
As for OEM versus aftermarket: there isn’t an “ECO Window Systems branded” paver line in the way there’s a Kohler or Moen branded fixture. These pavers are typically sourced from major concrete manufacturers like Belgard or local California producers, then installed as part of a broader exterior package. What matters is dimension, color lot, and face texture. We source from specification-grade suppliers including Belgard and Techo-Bloc, so we can match both dimensions and finish without ordering blind.
Styles & brands we work with
Signs Your ECO Window Systems Driveway & Pavers Are Failing
- Pavers shifting or rocking underfoot. The bedding sand has eroded or washed out, usually due to a drainage issue or insufficient edge restraint. This gets worse with every rain, not better.
- Standing water or runoff pooling against the house. The base layer has settled or the original slope wasn’t graded properly. In Woodland Hills, where we get intense but infrequent rains, this is the number one cause of foundation staining and crawl space moisture we see on older paver drives.
- Cracks running in straight lines across multiple pavers. A straight-line crack usually means the subgrade failed, not the pavers. The concrete pavers themselves rarely crack; the ground beneath them moves, and the pavers follow.
- Edges spreading or a wavy border line. The edge restraint, often plastic or aluminum, has failed or was never installed correctly. Without it, the whole field slowly migrates outward under traffic load.
- White, chalky residue on the surface. Efflorescence. It’s cosmetic in most cases, but persistent efflorescence in one area can point to trapped moisture, which means a drainage problem underneath, not just on the surface.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
In Woodland Hills, a full paver driveway installation runs $7,000 – $18,000 depending on square footage, paver selection, base repair, and whether we’re hauling out the old surface or building over virgin soil. Paver patio work lands in the $3,500 – $11,000 range. Driveway sealing, when requested, runs $250 – $700. These are installed prices, not just parts. The range moves on three things: how much base work the existing installation needs, which paver line and finish you choose, and how much access the site gives our crew and equipment.
Every job gets a written price before any work starts. That price covers tear-out, base correction, paver supply, installation, edge restraint, and compaction. If the scope changes, the price changes in writing, not on a surprise invoice at the end. The work is covered for 365 days from the completion date under our Done Right Promise: if something isn’t right within that year, we come back and fix it at no cost to you.
DIY or Call Us?
You can safely do a few things before calling: mark the areas where water pools, note which pavers rock or shift, and take photos from a couple of angles so we can see the pattern. Do not pull up pavers yourself to “take a look” underneath. The base layer is doing more work than the paver itself, and once you disturb the bedding sand or expose the subgrade, you’ve changed the repair picture and possibly widened the problem area.
Paver work is heavy, repetitive, and unforgiving on the back and knees. A 12″x12″ concrete paver weighs roughly 10 – 12 pounds. A typical Woodland Hills driveway involves moving several tons of material by hand or machine. Proper compaction, slope, and edge restraint determine whether the job lasts five years or twenty-five. That’s a job for a crew that does it every week, not a weekend. If you want a straight answer on what your situation needs, call (831) 290-6866. We’ll send someone who gives you a written number, not a verbal range that grows later.
FAQs
A properly installed paver driveway in Woodland Hills should last 20 – 30 years with occasional joint sand top-ups and re-sealing every 3 – 5 years. What shortens that lifespan here is water: poor drainage against the foundation or a failed edge restraint letting the field drift. The pavers themselves don’t wear out; the system underneath them does. Call (831) 290-6866 and we’ll tell you honestly whether yours needs repair or replacement.
Yes, if the failure is localized and the base under that section is still sound. We can pull and re-set individual pavers, repair a drainage channel, or rebuild an edge section without touching the rest of the field. If the base has failed across a large area, a patch job will fail again within a year or two. Call (831) 290-6866 for an assessment, and we’ll show you what we’re seeing before we recommend anything.
Most Woodland Hills paver driveway replacements take 3 – 7 working days from tear-out to final compaction and joint sand, depending on access, square footage, and weather. Base repair adds time because proper compaction happens in stages. We’ll give you a specific schedule in writing before work starts. Call (831) 290-6866 for a free estimate and a straight answer on timing.
We stock common modular paver sizes and edge restraints on our trucks, and we source from Belgard and Techo-Bloc for custom colors and finishes. If your existing pavers are a discontinued color lot, we’ll pull samples, match as closely as physically possible, and show you the match before any work is scheduled. Call (831) 290-6866 and describe what you’ve got; we’ll tell you whether a match is realistic.
