Unilock Construction in Las Vegas, NV | Groundwork Construction Co. of Las Vegas
We provide independent Unilock paver installation and repair across Las Vegas, from Summerlin to Henderson to the east valley. Our crews carry OEM Unilock pavers and desert-specified base materials on every truck, and we answer calls live 24/7 at (855) 951-4361. What separates our work here is simple: we budget for caliche hardpan and monsoon drainage from the first bid, not after your patio floods.
Why Las Vegas Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Todd Mervyn grew up in Spring Valley pouring slabs with his uncle on the west side of the valley. That was the education. The formal part came through the construction technology program at College of Southern Nevada, followed by twenty-plus years fixing what other contractors got wrong across the Las Vegas metro. He built Groundwork Construction Co. on a straightforward premise: tell homeowners exactly what happened, fix it right, and back it in writing.
We’ve installed and repaired Unilock pavers across Las Vegas long enough to know which colors fade fastest under valley UV, which base depths survive monsoon washout, and where the caliche layer sits in old Henderson versus newer Summerlin tracts. We’re independent, not Unilock-authorized. Our loyalty is to your project’s structural integrity, not a manufacturer’s warranty department. When you call (855) 951-4361, a live person answers, 24/7. Our technicians arrive in uniform, background-checked, with upfront pricing and the 730-Day Done Right Promise already in the paperwork. The ground doesn’t lie, and neither do we.
Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Las Vegas
- UV degradation and color fading on ‘Plaza’ and lighter tones. Las Vegas summer temperatures exceed 115°F with relentless UV radiation that degrades surface pigments at roughly twice the rate of most U.S. climates. South-facing patios in Henderson show noticeable fading within 5-7 years. We stock OEM replacement pavers in current production colors and can blend repairs for acceptable match.
- Base washout from monsoon flash flooding. July through September cloudbursts dump water faster than the caliche hardpan can absorb it. Sand-filled joints erode, and pavers settle unevenly in low-lying areas throughout the northwest corridor. We excavate to proper depth, install geotextile and compacted aggregate base, and specify stabilized joint sand engineered for desert alkalinity.
- ‘Brussels Block’ and ‘Beacon Hill’ shifting under vehicle loads. The 1990s-2006 construction boom left a legacy of improperly compacted bases, especially in production-home driveways. After even one wet winter, these pavers crack and shift under the weight of trucks or RVs. We remove failed sections, recompact to 98% standard Proctor density, and relay with proper edge restraint.
- Thermal cycling damage on ‘Authority’ series tight-lock edges. Daily swings from 115°F to 75°F cause concrete pavers to expand and contract. Along pool coping, chlorine exposure compounds the stress, producing chip and spall failures. We cut relief joints where appropriate and use flexible edging systems that accommodate movement without cracking.
- Improper drainage from original builder grade. Hundreds of thousands of tract homes from the 2001-2006 frenzy were built with drainage sloped toward structures or into flat backyards. Even well-installed Unilock patios flood when monsoon water hits impermeable caliche with nowhere to go. We always evaluate site drainage before laying a single paver.
Unilock Service in Las Vegas: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Las Vegas’s 2001-2006 construction boom left hundreds of thousands of tract homes with improperly sloped drainage, so even a well-installed Unilock patio can flood when monsoon water hits the caliche layer. We always budget for extra base excavation and a French drain system when bidding paver work in old Henderson or the east valley. Last fall we took on a paver patio replacement in a 2004-built home in the Silverado Ranch area where the original ‘Brussels Block’ had settled two inches from base washout after a wet monsoon season. We pulled up 400 square feet, hit caliche six inches down, and dug an extra foot to install a drainage pipe beneath the base, then relaid with OEM ‘Brussels Block’ and stabilized joint sand. The homeowners now have a patio that drains clean and won’t shift when the next cloudburst hits. That’s the difference between a paver guy who knows Las Vegas soil and one who’s guessing.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Las Vegas
We work with all major Unilock paver lines: Brussels Block for classic residential driveways and walkways, Beacon Hill for flagstone-look pool decks and patios, Plaza for modern, large-format surfaces, and Authority for heavy-duty commercial or high-traffic residential applications. Our Las Vegas warehouse stocks common colors and sizes for same-week replacement on most repair calls. For color-matched repairs on discontinued shades, we source directly from Unilock’s regional distribution. We use OEM Unilock replacement pavers for matchless color and texture, but for base materials and joint sand we spec high-quality aftermarket products engineered for the desert’s alkaline soils. Our honest stance: if a section is more than 20% damaged or the base has failed, we recommend a full relaying; otherwise, we repair targeted areas to save you money.

FAQs - Unilock Construction in Las Vegas
Exact color match is unlikely after 15-20 years of Las Vegas UV exposure, even with OEM pavers from the same production line. We source current-production replacements in the closest available shade and blend them across the repair area to minimize visible contrast. For large faded sections, relaying the full surface often looks better than patchwork. Call (855) 951-4361 and we’ll show you samples on-site.
Water is finding a path through compromised joint sand and washing out the aggregate base beneath. In Las Vegas, the caliche hardpan prevents vertical drainage, so water moves laterally and carries base material with it. The fix isn’t more sand on top - it’s excavating to solid base, installing proper drainage, and using stabilized joint sand that won’t wash out. We see this pattern repeatedly in northwest corridor homes built during the 2001-2006 boom.
Sometimes, but rarely in Las Vegas. The existing concrete must be structurally sound, properly sloped for drainage, and not subject to the thermal movement that cracks valley driveways. More often, we remove the old concrete to address drainage and avoid adding height that interferes with garage thresholds or HOA requirements. We’ll tell you honestly during the free estimate whether overlay is viable for your specific site.
Yes, if installed correctly for local conditions. Unilock’s manufacturing quality exceeds most big-box alternatives, and their color consistency holds longer than discount pavers. The critical factor isn’t the paver itself - it’s the base preparation and drainage design that determine whether your investment survives monsoon season. We back our installation with the 730-Day Done Right Promise, one of the longest workmanship guarantees in residential construction.
We provide all documentation your HOA requests: proof of licensing, insurance certificates, material specifications, and installation details. We’ve worked within Summerlin, Henderson, and Paradise HOA frameworks for years. We don’t handle the submission paperwork for you - that’s your responsibility as the homeowner - but we give you everything complete and accurate so the approval moves fast. Call (855) 951-4361 to discuss your HOA’s specific requirements.
