Why Woodland Hills Homeowners Choose Unilock Construction
Mason Remodeling Co Woodland Hills provides independent Unilock in Woodland Hills construction, repair, and installation service throughout Woodland Hills, CA. We work on EnduraColor paver patios, Estate Wall retaining walls, U-Cara Multi-Face systems, and Town Hall driveways every month, and we understand how local clay soil, hillside grades, and irrigation patterns cause these products to fail in ways flatland crews never see. Our crews show up with their names and photos sent to you before arrival, and every job gets a written price before tools come off the truck. Call (831) 290-6866 for a free estimate on any Unilock repair or new installation.
We are not authorized by or affiliated with Unilock. We’re an independent service provider, which means we call things as we see them: what’s repairable, what’s not, and what it will cost in Woodland Hills specifically. That independence matters when a manufacturer’s warranty line won’t pick up the phone and your patio has a sunken corner you trip over daily.
Why Trust Mason Remodeling Co Woodland Hills for Your Unilock Construction?
Our field crews in Woodland Hills and Brentwood see Unilock’s interlocking concrete pavers and retaining walls every season, and we’ve handled everything from settling EnduraColor patios to failing gravity walls on hillside lots. We speak to the exact products and failure patterns local homeowners face, because we’ve repaired them. Not read about them. Repaired them, on houses south of Ventura Boulevard, on canyon lots with zero-lot-line setbacks, on postwar ranches where the original concrete gave up years ago.
Isaac Pruett, our owner, grew up in Los Angeles and trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending years on job sites across the Valley, including long stretches near Warner Center and the surrounding Sherman Oaks and Woodland Hills neighborhoods. He’s seen what expansive clay soil does to a paver base after three hot summers and a wet winter. When we quote a Unilock repair, the number reflects what’s actually under the surface here, not a national average. We use genuine Unilock pavers and wall units when matching or extending your existing work. For base, edge restraint, and jointing, we select proven quality materials suited to local conditions: polyurethane edge restraints that hold shape through 100°F expansion cycles, non-woven geotextile that keeps clay from migrating into your aggregate. Every technician is background-checked and identity-verified under the Threshold Standard, with name and photo sent to you before the visit. Every price is written. Every job carries a 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Fix in Woodland Hills
- Edge restraint failure on paver driveways. The most common issue we see on Unilock Town Hall and EnduraColor driveways in Woodland Hills. When the original edge restraint was thin plastic or absent, the outside pavers creep outward under vehicle load. You’ll notice a driveway that’s wider at the bottom than the top, with gaps opening along the sides. Fixing it means pulling the edge rows, installing a proper aluminum or polyurethane restraint with spikes driven into compacted base, then re-setting the pavers against it.
- Base settlement from Santa Ana rain intrusion. Woodland Hills gets long dry stretches followed by sudden heavy rain. When that rain gets under the paver surface into uncompacted or poorly graded aggregate, sections sink. On a hillside house near Topanga Canyon, our crew found a 15-year-old EnduraColor patio with three sunken pavers over a failed gravel base. We removed the disturbed section, installed a new compacted aggregate base with geotextile separator, reinstalled the original pavers plus a new aluminum edge restraint, and re-sanded the joints with polymeric sand. Within three days the patio was level and locked.
- Efflorescence bloom on newer EnduraColor pavers. That white mineral haze on darker pavers, especially near irrigation overspray, is efflorescence. It’s not a defect. Water moves through the concrete, dissolves calcium, and deposits it on the surface as the water evaporates. In Woodland Hills’s heat, this cycling happens fast. We treat it with proper cleaning agents and adjust the irrigation heads that caused the overspray so it doesn’t return in three months.
- Retaining wall toe erosion on sloped yards. Estate Wall units on a Woodland Hills hillside depend on a stable base at the toe of the wall. When landscape drainage washes soil away from that base, the bottom course loses support and the wall starts leaning or cracking horizontally. We rebuild the toe with a deeper compacted base, add drainage gravel behind the wall, and regrade so water moves around, not under, the structure.
- Polymeric sand failure in joints. The sand between pavers is not decorative. It locks the pavers together and keeps water out of the base. In Woodland Hills, cheap or old polymeric sand breaks down under UV and heat, turning to dust. Weeds sprout, pavers shift, and the whole surface loosens. We re-sand with a premium polyurethane-enhanced product rated for high heat, and we re-compact the surface before we leave.
Unilock Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We use genuine Unilock pavers and wall units when matching or extending existing work. There’s no substitute when you need an exact color and mold match on an EnduraColor patio extension or an Estate Wall repair. Aftermarket pavers sit a shade off, and in direct Woodland Hills sun, that shade difference shows from across the yard. For base, edge restraint, and jointing, we select proven quality materials suited to our local clay soil and heat. Polyurethane edge restraints outperform the flexible plastic strips many original installs used. Non-woven geotextile prevents clay migration better than landscape fabric.
When a paver is cracked, we replace it. When a paver is so old the color can’t be matched, we recommend a panel replacement or a complementary border treatment rather than a mismatched patch. A patch draws attention to itself. A border looks intentional. We’ll tell you which one makes sense for your yard and your budget before you spend a dollar. Call (831) 290-6866 for an honest read on your situation.
Our Unilock Service Process – Step by Step
- 1
Diagnosis. We walk the site with you and identify exactly what’s failing: edge restraint, base compaction, drainage, sand joints, or the pavers themselves. For a leaning Estate Wall, we check the toe, the backfill, and the drainage path before recommending anything. We photograph everything and explain the cause in plain language.
- 2
Written price. You get a line-item written price before any work starts. Not an estimate that grows. A written price. It covers the exact pavers, base material, edge restraint, sand, labor, and haul-away for the affected area. No change orders unless you ask us to expand the scope.
- 3
Repair or installation. Your crew arrives in clean marked uniforms with photo ID badges at the door. Their names and photos were already sent to you. We handle material delivery around Woodland Hills’s tight hillside access, which often means staging materials on the street and hand-carrying them up a steep driveway. For paver work, we excavate the failed section, recompact the base in lifts, install geotextile, re-set the pavers, and lock everything with polymeric sand.
- 4
Testing and cleanup. We compact the surface, check drainage by running water across it, and confirm the pavers don’t rock or shift. We haul off the old base material and leave the site swept. You walk the finished work with us before we call it done.
- 5
Warranty. Every repair and installation is covered by our written guarantee for 365 days from the completion date. If your Unilock repair fails within that year, we return and make it right at no charge. No dispute process. No conditions. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

FAQs – Unilock Construction Service in Woodland Hills
A sinking corner means the base under that section has failed. In Woodland Hills, the usual cause is water intrusion into uncompacted aggregate, which creates voids that the pavers settle into. It can also be clay soil expanding and contracting through heat cycles. We fix it by removing the affected pavers, excavating the soft base, recompacting new aggregate in lifts, installing geotextile, and re-setting the pavers. A repair like this on a corner section typically runs a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on size. Call (831) 290-6866 and we’ll look at it for free.
In most cases, yes. Unilock maintains consistent product lines for years, and we order from current inventory to match your existing color as closely as possible. If your pavers are sun-faded, which happens after a decade of Woodland Hills sun, a perfect match may not be possible. In that case, we recommend either a full panel replacement for visual consistency or a complementary border treatment that frames the old and new sections deliberately. We’ll show you samples before we order anything.
That white residue is efflorescence, a mineral deposit left when water moves through the concrete and evaporates on the surface. In Woodland Hills, irrigation overspray accelerates it. It’s cosmetic, not structural. We clean it with a proper efflorescence remover, not acid, which can etch the paver surface, then we adjust your irrigation heads so the overspray stops feeding the cycle. Most cleanings take under a day, and the fix holds if the water source is addressed.
Not always. If the wall is leaning because the toe eroded and the bottom course shifted, we can often rebuild just the lower section, add proper drainage gravel behind the wall, and regrade the slope so water flows away. If the wall is structurally cracked through multiple courses or the base was never adequate, a full rebuild is safer and costs less long-term than patching a wall that will lean again. We’ll tell you which one your wall needs after we dig a test hole and look at the base. Estimates are free at (831) 290-6866.
We are a service company, not a paver retailer. We order Unilock products for the projects we install and repair. If you want to buy pavers and install them yourself, we’re not the right fit for supplying material only. But if you want the pavers installed correctly on a properly prepared base, with a written price and a one-year guarantee, that’s exactly what we do.
