Unilock Construction in Felton, CA

Unilock Construction in Felton, CA | Viceroy Construction

We provide independent Unilock paver installation and repair across Felton, CA, including driveways, patios, and retaining walls. What makes our work different here is simple: we’ve built Unilock systems on steep, redwood-rooted San Lorenzo Valley lots since long before the CZU fire, so we plan for the drainage, slope, and WUI code requirements that flatland contractors never see. Call Neil Drummond and the Viceroy Construction team at (877) 358-6557 to schedule a free estimate on any Unilock scope, from a Brussels Block patio in the flats to a hillside retaining wall rebuild. We are an independent contractor and installer, not an authorized Unilock dealer or manufacturer affiliate.

Why Felton Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service

Viceroy Construction is a full-scope general contractor that happens to know Unilock’s paver and wall systems at the spec level, which is a different thing from a landscaping crew that treats every paver like every other paver. We specify genuine Unilock product lines because they hold up on Felton’s terrain: Brussels Block and Beacon Hill Flagstone for surfaces, Town Hall and Series 3000 retaining wall systems where grade change demands structural restraint. Our team handles the base design, the drainage, the edge restraint, and the WUI detailing under one contract, so a homeowner isn’t juggling an excavator, a paver guy, and a retaining wall sub. Neil grew up in the Saratoga foothills and trained in the building trades program at West Valley College, where he learned framing and concrete work he still uses to scope hillside builds. That background matters when the job is a retaining wall holding back saturated redwood soil, not a flat backyard feature.

We’re also the Felton service area crew that can actually tell you whether a failing paver driveway needs a reset or a full base rebuild, and we’ll be straight about which is which. Call us at (877) 358-6557 and we’ll walk the site with you.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Felton

• Base failure and rutting on steep paver driveways. Most Felton driveways run downslope from Graham Hill Road or up from Zayante, and the compacted aggregate base that works on a flat Scotts Valley lot isn’t sized for saturated clay-loam grades. After a wet winter, pavers fan and shift, and you’ll see ruts where tires track. We fix it by rebuilding the base at the correct depth and compaction for the actual slope, not the generic spec.
• Joint sand washout and edge restraint breakout. Runoff on a redwood-slope driveway concentrates at the low corner faster than polymeric sand can shed it, so joints open up and the edge restraint lets go. We replace eroded joint sand and rebuild edge restraints with proper anchoring, then regrade so water doesn’t keep attacking the same corner.
• Moss, algae, and efflorescence staining. North-facing felton patios tucked under redwood canopy never see sun, so moss and algae take over the joints and surface. We clean and re-sand those areas, and where drainage stays slow we’ll rework the slope so water moves off the paver instead of sitting on it.
• Retaining wall bulging or leaning on hillside lots. A Series 3000-style block wall built without geogrid or proper drainage behind it will start to lean on a Felton hillside within a few wet seasons. We remove, rebuild, and install drainage and reinforcement so the wall actually holds.
• Post-CZU rebuild hardscape failures. On lots redeveloped after the 2020 fire, new stem walls and foundations sometimes shift the drainage pattern, and older paver work from the pre-fire era wasn’t built to current WUI defensible-space rules. We reset grades and re-lay pavers so water moves away from the structure and the hardscape meets current code.

Unilock Service in Felton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Here’s the thing nobody tells you about hardscaping in Felton: the redwood trees aren’t just scenery. They’re infrastructure. A mature coast redwood has a root zone that can extend 50 feet or more from the trunk, and cutting through those roots to pour a conventional paver base or retaining wall footing can kill the tree, destabilize the slope, and trigger a County arborist’s report that stalls the whole job. On lots off Felton Empire Road and along the San Lorenzo River corridor, we regularly shift paver edges outward, adjust wall layouts, or switch from deep footings to pier-and-grade systems so the root zone stays intact. That’s a constraint Unilock in Scotts Valley flatlanders never think about. It’s also why we use permeable and pedestal-set Unilock systems in some areas: they let roots and water move underneath without lifting the surface. A generic Unilock brochure won’t tell you to reroute a walkway because a 200-year-old redwood needs the air; we will, because we’ve had to do it more than once.

Unilock Models & Products We Service in Felton

We install and repair the Unilock lines that make sense for this area: Brussels Block and Brussels Dimensional for driveways and entry walks, Beacon Hill Flagstone for patios and landings, Town Hall for a cleaner modular look on walkways and smaller patios, and the Il Campo and Series 3000 systems for retaining walls and grade transitions. When we repair, we use genuine Unilock pavers, matching edge restraints, and joint sand so color and dimension stay consistent across a phased rebuild. We don’t swap in aftermarket blocks because the color never matches. For Felton homeowners with a good base and surface-level wear, we reset and re-sand rather than tear out. When the base itself is gone, we say so and replace it properly. We also stock common Unilock patterns through our supplier network, which keeps turnaround shorter for Felton jobs than you’d get ordering blind from a catalog.
