Unilock’s concrete pavers, wall systems, and permeable pavers are specified frequently in Pompano Beach’s current redevelopment wave, from luxury new-builds east of the Intracoastal to renovations of 1950s-1970s CBS homes in neighborhoods like Collier Manor and Pompano Beach Highlands. The brand’s Brussels Block, Beacon Hill, Town Hall, and Umbriano lines hold up well when installed correctly, but South Florida’s salt air, summer deluges, and sandy soils create specific maintenance and repair needs that generic paver advice doesn’t address. We’ve restored Unilock hardscapes across Pompano Beach long enough to know which problems are cosmetic, which are structural, and which ones will cost more if you wait. Our crews also handle Unilock Construction in Lighthouse Point, FL and nearby coastal communities with similar conditions.
Why Trust Rowan Construction Group Pompano Beach for Your Unilock Construction?
Our crews have installed and repaired Unilock products in Pompano Beach for years, including several complete hardscape overhauls near the city’s historic Old Town district where older substrate conditions and drainage patterns complicate standard installation details. Grant Rowan, who leads the company, grew up watching crews rebuild homes along Coldwater Canyon in Beverly Hills and later trained in construction technology at Santa Monica College before spending nearly three decades in the field. He keeps a worn copy of the Florida Building Code on his truck’s passenger seat and has read more of it than most people would find reasonable. That discipline translates to how we sequence Unilock jobs: substrate prep never waits on a delivery, and no crew starts laying pavers until the compacted base and edge restraints have been photographed and documented.
We stock Unilock OEM pavers and genuine polymeric sand for color-matched repairs, and we source quality aftermarket base materials and edge restraints where they meet or exceed manufacturer specs. Every project receives a written flat price with line-item scope before work begins, per Clause 1 of The Haven Standard. No change proceeds without a signed change order. The photo record from each visit is included as standard, not sold as an upgrade. Background-checked, uniformed technicians; a live person answering calls 24/7; and the 365-Day Done Right Promise printed on every contract. Measure twice, say it once, show your work.
Common Unilock Construction Problems We Fix in Pompano Beach

- Efflorescence staining on Brussels Block and other concrete pavers. Pompano Beach’s combination of high humidity, salt air, and seasonal heavy rains draws calcium hydroxide to the surface of concrete pavers, creating a white, chalky residue that homeowners often mistake for mold. On a 12-year-old Brussels Block driveway we restored in Pompano Beach, the efflorescence had become severe enough to obscure the original color blend. We pressure-washed with a specialized efflorescence cleaner, re-sanded with Unilock polymeric sand, and sealed the surface to slow recurrence. The fix held because we addressed the drainage that was keeping the base saturated, not just the surface stain.
- Polymeric sand joint erosion from summer storm intensity. Unilock’s jointing systems perform well when installed to spec, but Pompano Beach’s summer rainfall frequently exceeds the 4-inch-per-hour threshold that can wash out improperly cured polymeric sand. We see this most often on patios installed by crews who rushed the watering-in phase or used the wrong sand grade for the joint width. The result is paver shifting, weed intrusion, and insect nesting. Our repair process removes the failed material, re-beds the affected pavers, and re-applies Unilock polymeric sand with proper activation timing.
- Color fading and surface etching from UV and salt spray. Unilock pavers east of the Intracoastal Waterway face accelerated UV degradation and salt spray exposure that inland markets don’t match. The Umbriano line’s color-rich surface, while durable, will show measurable fading after 8-12 years of direct coastal exposure. We assess whether the fading is uniform (cosmetic, addressable with cleaning and sealing) or patchy (indicating surface erosion that may warrant replacement of affected units). Our documented photo record shows you exactly which condition you’re dealing with before you commit to a scope.
- Edge restraint failure and base settlement in sandy soil. South Florida’s native sandy soils provide poor lateral support for paver edge restraints unless the base is properly excavated, compacted in lifts, and separated from the subgrade with geotextile. We regularly encounter Unilock driveways and patios where the original installer skipped these steps, leading to creeping edges, trip hazards, and standing water. Our repair includes re-establishing the compacted aggregate base, installing proper edge restraint anchored beyond the pavement line, and verifying drainage slope before relaying the existing pavers or installing new ones.
- Spalling and freeze-thaw surface degradation on older units. While Pompano Beach’s freeze-thaw cycles are mild compared to northern climates, the combination of saturated base conditions, occasional cold snaps, and salt intrusion can cause surface spalling on older concrete pavers. This is more common in Town Hall and Brussels Block installations from the early 2000s, before Unilock refined its surface durability formulations. We evaluate whether localized unit replacement with current-stock matching pavers is cost-effective, or whether the spalling is widespread enough to justify full replacement with modern product.

AfterUnilock Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We use Unilock OEM pavers and genuine polymeric sand for repairs and new installations because color and texture matching matters, especially on partial repairs where new units abut weathered ones. For base materials and edge restraints, we use quality aftermarket products that meet or exceed Unilock’s installation specifications, sourced from suppliers with documented test data. We stock common Unilock paver styles and polymeric sand locally for faster turnaround on Pompano Beach repairs.
Our repair-vs-replace decision is straightforward and documented. If efflorescence or joint erosion is localized and the base is sound, repair is usually the right call. If spalling affects more than 20-30% of the surface, if the base has settled unevenly, or if edge failure has progressed to the point of paver displacement, honest replacement saves money over repeated service calls. We put both options in writing with separate prices before you decide. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote on your Unilock hardscape - estimates are free.
Our Unilock Service Process - Step by Step

- 1
Diagnosis with documented photo record. We photograph the existing condition, test base stability with a sounding rod, measure drainage slope, and identify the Unilock product line and approximate age. You receive these images with our written assessment.

FAQs - Unilock Construction Service in Pompano Beach
Is Rowan Construction Group Pompano Beach authorized by Unilock?
No. We are an independent Unilock service provider, not affiliated with or authorized by Unilock. We install and repair Unilock products using OEM-compatible materials and methods developed through years of field experience in South Florida’s coastal conditions. Our independence means we can also source complementary brands when a project benefits from mixed specifications.
Do you use genuine Unilock/OEM parts?
Yes, for pavers and polymeric sand where color and texture matching are critical. For base materials and edge restraints, we use quality aftermarket products that meet or exceed Unilock’s installation specifications, with documentation available on request.
How long does Unilock service take?
Most repairs - efflorescence cleaning, re-sanding, edge restraint replacement - are completed in one to two days. Full driveway or patio installations typically run five to ten days depending on square footage, substrate condition, and weather. We sequence tightly so nothing sits idle. Call (754) 714-6540 for a timeline specific to your project.
What Unilock models/series do you cover?
We service and install Brussels Block, Beacon Hill, Town Hall, and Umbriano paver lines, plus Unilock retaining wall systems and permeable pavers. If you have a discontinued Unilock product, we can often source matching or compatible replacements through our supplier network.
Will service void my Unilock warranty?
Unilock’s product warranty covers manufacturing defects, not installation or environmental damage. Our repair methods are designed to be warranty-safe for the product itself - we use manufacturer-specified materials and don’t alter the paver structure. We document our work so any future warranty claim has clear provenance.
How much does Unilock construction cost in Pompano Beach?
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000-$18,000 |
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500-$11,000 |
| Driveway Sealing | $250-$700 |
Repair pricing depends on scope: efflorescence cleaning and re-sanding typically runs $800-$2,500, while edge restraint and base repair on a standard driveway ranges $1,500-$4,500. Every quote is flat, written, and itemized before work starts. Call (754) 714-6540 for an exact quote on your Unilock project - estimates are free.
How does Unilock pavers hold up to Pompano Beach’s salt air and hurricanes?
Unilock concrete pavers perform well when installed to Florida Building Code standards for drainage and base stability, but salt air accelerates surface etching and metal fastener corrosion in edge restraints, and hurricane-force wind-driven rain can exploit any joint weakness. We specify proper slope, sealed joints, and corrosion-resistant edge hardware for Pompano Beach installations. Call (754) 714-6540 to review hurricane-prep specifics for your hardscape.
Can you match my existing Unilock pavers for a repair?
Usually yes, if the product line is current or recently discontinued. We verify the exact Unilock product code, check local stock, and compare aged samples under natural light before ordering. Where exact match isn’t possible, we present the closest alternative with a sample for your approval - no surprises after delivery.
What causes efflorescence on Unilock pavers and how is it fixed?
Efflorescence is calcium hydroxide migrating to the surface through moisture pathways in the concrete - common in Pompano Beach’s humid, salt-laden environment. We remove it with specialized cleaners (not bleach, which can set the stain), address the moisture source through drainage correction, and apply a breathable sealer to slow recurrence. The fix is effective but not permanent; annual inspection is prudent in coastal conditions.
Do you offer sealing for Unilock driveways and patios?
Yes. Sealing is included in our post-installation package and available as standalone maintenance for existing Unilock hardscapes. We use sealers compatible with Unilock’s concrete chemistry, applied after proper cleaning and curing. Sealing extends color life and simplifies cleaning but does not eliminate efflorescence risk in saturated base conditions. Call (754) 714-6540 to schedule.
How long does a Unilock paver installation take in Pompano Beach?
A typical residential driveway runs five to seven days from excavation to final compaction; patios range three to five days depending on pattern complexity and access constraints. We apply the same scheduling discipline to our Unilock Construction in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL projects as we do in Pompano Beach. Permitting adds time if the project requires drainage modification or is in a FEMA flood zone with finished-floor elevation requirements. We build realistic timelines into our written quotes and update you if weather or supply delays shift the schedule. Call (754) 714-6540 for a project-specific timeline.
