Unilock Construction in Clovis, CA | Elmstead Remodeling Fresno
We install and repair Unilock pavers and walls across Clovis as a General Contractor in Clovis, not a factory rep. The one thing that makes our Unilock work here different: we plan every paver job around Clovis’s expansive clay soil and the city’s design review rules in Old Town. That means edge restraints get engineered properly the first time, and paver colors get chosen to pass review, not just to look good in a catalog. Call us at (559) 540-8453 for a free estimate on any Unilock project.
Why Clovis Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
We’re the crew that sees how Unilock units actually hold up under Central Valley sun, clay soil, and daily hardscape use in Clovis. We install and repair Estate Series, Courtstone, Brussels Block, and Hollandstone pavers, and we stock the edge restraints, joint sand, and aggregate base materials that Clovis soil conditions demand. Graham Stein leads our team. Graham grew up in Los Angeles, learned to read plans at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, and has spent twenty-six years in construction, including the last several serving Fresno-area homeowners. He keeps a notebook in his shirt pocket and writes down every scope item before a single tool comes out of the truck. Write it down before anything comes off the truck. That’s how we run every Unilock job in Clovis: a written price before work starts, a crew in uniform, and shoe covers and drop cloths inside your home every single time.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Clovis
- Paver shifting and heaving from clay soil. Clovis neighborhoods developed in the 1970s and 1980s sit on clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Unilock patios and walkways without a proper aggregate base and edge restraint will wave, sink, and pull apart. We excavate to the depth the soil requires, compact in lifts, and rebuild so the surface stays flat through wet winters and dry summers.
- Edge restraint failure on older driveways. Many original sand-set paver borders in Clovis, especially near Old Town, never included proper edge support. Once the border lets go, the whole field follows. We install new concrete or aluminum edge restraints and re-set the perimeter units so the driveway holds its line.
- UV fading and surface wear on colored pavers. South-facing yards in Clovis get hammered by triple-digit summer heat and intense UV. Dyed Unilock units lose their richness faster than the muted, natural-tone lines. We recommend color-stable units like Estate or Courtstone for exposed areas, and we can source genuine replacement units when a color match matters.
- Joint sand washout after wet winters. Clovis winters are mild but wet enough to flush joint sand from paver gaps. That leaves channels for weeds and ant colonies. We clean out the failed joints, re-sand with polymeric material, and seal where appropriate so the gaps stay filled.
- Sunken paver patios with drainage problems. A patio that sinks in one corner is almost always a base or drainage failure underneath the pavers, not a fault in the Unilock units themselves. We lift the affected area, re-grade the sub-base for positive drainage, and re-lay the same pavers when they’re still sound.
Unilock Service in Clovis: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Clovis enforces design review for hardscape changes in the Old Town historic district. That’s not something you’ll hit in Fresno the same way. The city wants paver selections that match the traditional character of Old Town’s early-to-mid-20th-century housing stock, so we often default to muted-tone Unilock Estate or Courtstone lines rather than contemporary colors that might look out of place on Pollasky Avenue or a side street off Clovis Avenue. On Pollasky Avenue near Old Town, our crew reset a 2008 Brussels Block driveway where clay soil had pushed the field into a rolling washboard. We excavated twelve inches, added geogrid and compacted aggregate, reused eighty percent of the original pavers, and installed new edge restraints. Two years later that driveway still drains clean and stays flat. That’s the difference between knowing Unilock products and knowing Clovis.

Unilock Models & Products We Service in Clovis
We install and repair all four major Unilock residential lines: Estate Series, Courtstone, Brussels Block, and Hollandstone. For current lines, we source genuine Unilock units for exact color and texture matches. For older or discontinued lines, we use high-density concrete pavers from reputable local suppliers that replicate the dimensions and finish closely enough that a repair disappears into the field. We repair individual units when the surrounding area is stable. When movement is widespread, we recommend a partial rebuild with a proper base and edge restraints, because laying new pavers over a failing base just moves the problem down the road a couple of years.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Clovis
Genuine Unilock pavers are manufactured to handle thermal expansion, but the colored, dyed lines fade more quickly under Clovis sun than the muted natural-tone lines. For south-facing yards, we recommend Estate Series or Courtstone for better UV stability. Pavers rarely crack from heat alone; cracking usually means a base failure allowed the unit to flex. Call (559) 540-8453 if you need us to look at a fading or cracking paver surface.
It’s almost always a base or drainage issue under the pavers, not a structural foundation problem. In Old Town Clovis, older patios were often set on a thin sand layer over uncompacted soil. When that soil gets wet and the clay expands and contracts, one corner settles. We lift the pavers, re-grade the sub-base, compact it properly, and re-lay the same units. Your exact fix depends on what we find underneath. Call (559) 540-8453 for a free inspection.
For current Unilock lines, yes. We source genuine units for exact color and texture matches. For discontinued lines, we use high-density concrete pavers from local suppliers that replicate the dimensions and finish. The match may not be invisible, especially on older, sun-worn driveways, but it will blend into the field much better than a mismatched big-box replacement. Call (559) 540-8453 and we’ll bring samples to your Clovis home.
Muted-tone Estate or Courtstone pavers are usually the safest choice for Clovis HOAs and the Old Town design review board. Both lines read as traditional rather than contemporary, and their color range fits the Mediterranean and ranch-style homes common in Clovis. We’ll check your HOA’s design guidelines before recommending a specific paver. Call (559) 540-8453 to talk through what your neighborhood allows.
In most Clovis neighborhoods, replacing a driveway surface does not require a permit if you’re not changing the footprint or drainage pattern. However, properties in the Old Town historic district may need design review approval for hardscape changes. We’ll confirm the requirements for your specific address before any work begins. Call (559) 540-8453 and we’ll walk you through the process.
