Unilock Construction in Dallas, TX | Bradford Remodeling Co Dallas
We provide independent Unilock paver installation and repair across Dallas as a General Contractor in Dallas, and the one thing that separates our work from a generic hardscape crew is simple: we know how Unilock products behave on North Texas clay. Install a paver patio on Dallas’s expansive soil without proper base preparation and you’ll be re-leveling it within two seasons. We build it right the first time so you don’t. Call (903) 326-8963 for a written estimate on any Unilock project, from driveways to patios to full replacement work.
Why Dallas Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
We’ve spent more than a decade on Unilock paver installations and repairs across Dallas, and that experience lives in the details: the compaction depth, the geotextile choice, the edge restraint system. Curtis Lane, our owner, learned the trade the hard way, starting with a framing hammer at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spending the better part of twenty years running crews through Dallas neighborhoods like Lakewood and Lake Highlands. He knows what happens when a paver base gets skipped on clay, because he’s torn out the failures from other contractors.
We’re a Unilock sales & service provider that operates independently. That means no manufacturer markup games and no “authorized only” parts runaround. We stock the Unilock model lines this market actually uses: Beacon Hill, Brussels Block, Richcliff, and Town Hall. If you need a replacement paver matched to an existing installation, we’ll get you one that matches in color and dimension, not something close enough.
Every job starts with a written price before any work begins. No numbers that move at the door. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and answerable to a standard we call The Garrison Standard, part of the Garrison Partners family we’ve been part of since 2004. And every completed Unilock project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails within a year, we return and correct it at no charge.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Dallas
- Paver settling and uneven surfaces on driveways. Clay soil heave is the number one culprit in Dallas. When a drought cycle shrinks the clay and then a heavy rain swells it, pavers shift. We see this most often on Beacon Hill driveways, where the interlocking design makes any base movement visible as a rippled surface.
- Hail impact damage to Brussels Block pavers. Dallas hail storms are brutal, and Brussels Block has a color-coated surface layer. A hard storm can chip that coating and expose the raw aggregate underneath. We’ll assess the damage row by row and replace only what’s needed when the base is still sound.
- Efflorescence on Richcliff and Town Hall surfaces. High summer heat plus intense UV accelerates white residue buildup on these two lines. It’s cosmetic, not structural, but it looks bad. We can clean it and apply a sealer, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it will come back given your paver’s sun exposure.
- Edge warping and interlock failure at paver borders. Improper base preparation on Dallas’s expansive clay is the root cause. When installers skip the compacted engineered base or use undersized edge restraints, the border pavers start drifting within a year. We repair by rebuilding the edge zone properly, not by slapping a band-aid on it.
- Drainage issues that cause paver efflorescence and shifting. Flat lots across Dallas neighborhoods mean water pools. Without proper slope, the base saturates and pavers move. We correct the grade during repair, because fixing the surface without fixing the water flow is just renting your next problem.
Unilock Service in Dallas: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Dallas sits on what geologists call a shrink-swell belt, a band of clay-based soil that expands and contracts with moisture. Between seasons, that clay can move up to 2 inches vertically. For Unilock paver projects, that means the base matters more than the paver itself. Here’s the part that surprises people: Dallas’s building code variance allows pier-and-beam foundations in some northern suburbs, a recognition that pier support handles clay movement better than slab-on-grade. But that same variance doesn’t cover your hardscape. A paver patio or driveway sits directly on the clay, not on piers, so every Unilock installation in this metro area needs deep excavation, geotextile reinforcement, and a compacted engineered base to survive the wet-dry cycles. The crews that skip those steps are the reason we get called back to re-repair the same projects months later. In the Lake Highlands area especially, we regularly rebuild Unilock driveways where the base was underbuilt and the clay did exactly what clay does.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Dallas
We service the four Unilock lines most commonly specified in Dallas Kitchen Remodeling and outdoor projects: Beacon Hill, a tumbled-edge paver that’s popular for driveways because it locks tightly at the seams; Brussels Block, a smooth-faced paver with a color coating that needs extra care during Dallas hail season; Richcliff, a larger-format paver used for patios and walkways where a clean look matters; and Town Hall, a versatile paver that shows up in everything from front porches to fire pit surrounds.
For most repairs, we use OEM Unilock replacement pavers so the color and dimension match exactly. Where hidden base or drainage components are involved, we’re comfortable using high-quality aftermarket materials that meet or exceed what North Texas clay demands. We stock common Dallas patterns locally for faster turnaround, and if a specific lot number is needed, we’ll order it and tell you honestly how long it takes.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Dallas
They hold up differently by line. Brussels Block has a color-coated surface layer that hail can chip, exposing aggregate underneath. Beacon Hill and Richcliff take impact better because their color runs through the paver body. If your pavers have taken hail damage, call (903) 326-8963 and we’ll assess them at no charge.
Prevention starts below the paver. We excavate to the correct depth for Dallas’s expansive clay, install a geotextile separation layer, compact an engineered aggregate base in lifts, and use proper edge restraints. Skipping any of those steps invites settling. The paver itself is the last thing to blame.
Yes, in most cases. We match by Unilock lot number where available, and we account for natural weathering on older pavers. A newly installed paver will look slightly different for a season or two as it cures, but OEM matching gets you as close as physically possible.
Most Unilock paver driveways in Dallas run between $7,000 and $18,000 depending on square footage, access, and base depth. The variable is almost always the base on clay soil. Call (903) 326-8963 for an exact written number.
If less than 10% of the paver surface is damaged and the base is intact, we recommend repair. When the base has failed and the interlock is compromised, a full rebuild on a properly compacted engineered base is the only fix that lasts. We’ll tell you which one you’re facing during the free estimate.
