Unilock Construction in Lompico, CA | Seaside Contractors
We install, repair, and re-level Unilock paver patios, driveways, and retaining walls throughout Lompico. The one thing that separates our Unilock work here from anywhere else: we plan every paver layout around the steep-slope geotech, well, and septic reviews that Santa Cruz County requires before the first unit gets set. As your Lompico General Contractor, Seaside Contractors handles the full scope, from drainage and base prep to the finish course. Call (833) 589-8103 for a free estimate.
Why Lompico Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
We’ve been setting Unilock pavers, walls, and steps on steep San Lorenzo Valley lots long enough to know how the units actually behave in redwood-shade damp and saturated-slope conditions. That experience shapes every base we build and every drainage line we run, whether it’s Unilock repair in Felton or new work in Lompico. Glen Sorrento leads our crew, and his approach to Unilock work is the same as his approach to any build: figure out what the job actually needs, then talk materials. We’re not tied to any manufacturer’s spec sheet. If an open-graded base will fail on a cut-slope subgrade, we say so and build it differently.
Our Unilock sales & service work covers everything from new paver patio installation to re-sanding, edge restraint repair, and full base reconstruction. Homeowners in this part of the canyon call us because they want one contractor who can handle the hardscape and the structural work behind it, without handing the job off to a patchwork of subs.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Lompico
- Washed-out joint sand on canyon-graded driveways. Steep Lompico driveways concentrate surface water instead of letting it sheet-flow off. That water cuts through polymeric joint sand in a single heavy winter, leaving pavers loose and edges migrating. We re-grade where the lot allows and re-sand with a mix suited to saturated slopes.
- Efflorescence and damp staining on Brussels Block and Beacon Hill. Redwood-shade areas that never fully dry through the wet season leave white mineral deposits and dark staining on paver surfaces. It’s cosmetic mostly, but the underlying moisture issue needs addressing or the joint sand fails early.
- Base settlement and unit rocking on ravine-side fill. Lompico lots are frequently cut into the slope on one side and built up over fill on the other. An open-graded base that works fine on flat suburban ground will settle unevenly here, leaving pavers that rock underfoot. We rebuild those sections with proper compaction and geotextile separation.
- Bulging or tilting Olde Quarry wall block. Hillside terraces need geogrid tie-back and drainage gravel behind the wall. Walls built without either start leaning within a couple of wet seasons. We re-set and reinforce them before they fail completely.
- Moss and algae film under redwood canopy. North-facing patios in Lompico stay shaded and damp for months. Moss colonizes the joint lines and breaks down polymeric sand faster than in open sun. We clean, re-sand, and can treat the surface to slow regrowth.
Unilock Service in Lompico: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
A paver patio or driveway in Lompico is never just a flat surface on flat ground. Almost every buildable lot here sits on private well and septic, and many were subdivided informally decades ago. That means a project that changes grading, even slightly, can trigger well-yield verification, a percolation test, and a steep-slope geotechnical review through Santa Cruz County before we can even set base. We’ve seen projects where the paver layout got re-drawn around a septic leach field because the county flagged the drainage change. On one steep, redwood-shaded lot off Highway 9, we tore out a heaved concrete pad and set a Brussels Block patio for a 1970s cabin, but first re-graded so runoff sheet-flowed away from the leach field. We added a buried drainage channel and a geogrid-tied Olde Quarry wall at the downslope edge. The patio has stayed level through two wet winters instead of ponding at the door. That’s the difference between hardscape planned on paper and hardscape planned for Lompico ground.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Lompico
We work regularly with Unilock Brussels Block, Beacon Hill Flagstone, Olde Quarry wall block, and Bristol Valley plank pavers. When we’re matching to existing courses, we use Unilock’s own units and matching edge restraints and joint sand, because color and dimensional consistency matter when you’re extending a patio on a 1980s cabin. For underlayment and drainage, we spec quality geotextile fabric and open-graded aggregate rather than brand-name markup. The parts that perform are worth getting right; the parts that are just gravel are gravel. On a sound existing base, we re-sand and re-level rather than tear out. When settlement traces back to the base itself, replacing that section is the honest call.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Lompico
No, not if the patio changes grading or is built over a ravine-side fill. Santa Cruz County will require slope stability and drainage review before a permit is issued. We handle that process from the first site visit. Call (833) 589-8103 and we’ll tell you what your specific lot will trigger.
Because surface water is concentrating and cutting channels through the joints instead of flowing off the edge. Gutter downspouts and uphill runoff need to be re-directed. We fix the drainage first, then re-sand. Call (833) 589-8103 for an assessment.
Yes, it’s typical for shaded north-facing patios in the San Lorenzo Valley. The fix is a thorough cleaning, fresh joint sand, and periodic maintenance. We can also adjust surrounding drainage if standing moisture is making it worse.
It can, especially if the driveway changes how water drains across your lot. On many Lompico parcels where septic and well systems sit close to the surface, county review is almost automatic. We factor that into the scope before pricing so you’re not surprised mid-project.
Usually yes. We match the specific Unilock line and color tone, but expect some variation between new and decades-weathered units. A blend of old and new courses tends to hide the transition better than a hard seam. Call (833) 589-8103 and we’ll bring samples to compare.
