Unilock Construction in St. Cloud, FL | Penhallow Remodeling Orlando
We provide independent Unilock paver installation and repair across St. Cloud, including driveways, patios, pool decks, and walkways. What makes our Unilock work different here comes down to one thing: we know what’s under the grass. St. Cloud’s older subdivisions sit on former citrus grove land, and that buried history shows up in failed paver bases more often than anywhere else we work. Call (850) 427-6454 for a free estimate, and we’ll give you a written number before we pick up a tool.
You deserve a contractor who treats Unilock pavers as a structural system, not a decorative layer. As an independent Unilock service provider, we’re not manufacturer-affiliated. That means we recommend what’s actually right for your St. Cloud property, whether that’s a repair, a partial rebuild, or a full replacement. Our team has repaired and rebuilt Unilock paver systems throughout St. Cloud for years, from 1990s-era driveways to fresh pool decks, so we know how Unilock’s EdgeRestraint, PermaBase, and EnduraColor lines behave in Central Florida’s clay-heavy soils and daily summer downpours. We’re also part of the Unilock sales & service network for the broader Central Florida area, so we stay sharp on product changes and warranty details.
For homeowners in St. Cloud and nearby, we’re the crew that answers the phone, shows up in the window we gave you, and leaves a written guarantee on every job. St. Cloud service area coverage is a core part of our business, not an afterthought.
Why St. Cloud Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Trevor Nash leads our team. He grew up in Los Angeles, learned construction fundamentals at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, and spent the better part of two decades swinging a hammer on everything from slab foundations to finish carpentry. Since moving into the Orlando market, he’s done work in College Park, where 1950s-era bungalows keep everyone honest about what old framing and shifting soils actually do. That’s the lens we bring to St. Cloud paver work: treat the ground beneath the pavers as seriously as the pavers themselves.
Our core promises are simple. We give you a written price before any work starts, not a verbal ballpark. We send background-checked, uniformed technicians, so you know exactly who’s walking onto your property. A live person answers our phone 24/7. If the work fails within 365 days, we come back and fix it at no charge, in writing, on every project. That’s the Kingswell Way, and it’s been the standard since 2004.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in St. Cloud
- Polymeric sand washout after storm season. St. Cloud’s afternoon thunderstorms hit hard and fast. On driveways with insufficient pitch, water channels through paver joints and flushes out the polymeric sand, leaving gaps that let pavers shift. We see this on homes built in the 1990s and 2000s, especially where original grading has settled. We remove the failed sand, reset any drifted pavers, and install a fresh, properly activated polymeric sand that holds up to localized ponding.
- Edge restraint failure at driveway aprons. Older Unilock installations often used thin plastic edging spiked into sandy soil. Central Florida’s alternating wet and dry cycles loosen those spikes, and eventually the pavers drift outward at the driveway mouth. We rebuild the edge with aluminum or rigid PVC restraint, anchored properly into compacted base, and re-tamp the paver run back to grade.
- Efflorescence on EnduraColor pavers. High humidity and repeated wet-dry cycles pull mineral salts to the surface of pavers, leaving a white haze that a hose won’t remove. EnduraColor’s dense face slows this, but St. Cloud’s lake-adjacent air makes it more persistent. We clean with an efflorescence-specific treatment, and we’ll tell you if the haze is likely to return, because honesty beats a temporary fix.
- Sunken paver sections over poorly compacted base. Many St. Cloud subdivisions built during the Florida housing rush had bases thrown down fast. We regularly pull pavers that are an inch below grade with a visible trip line. If the base itself is intact, we’ll lift, re-grade, and re-set. If it’s compacted poorly from the start, we’ll tell you straight: that section needs proper over-excavation and rebuild.
- Ant undermining under patio pavers. Fire ants and ghost ants thrive in St. Cloud’s sandy soils. Their tunnels hollow out the bedding layer beneath pavers, creating soft spots that sag under foot traffic. We treat the area before re-compacting and re-setting pavers, and we’ll recommend a maintenance perimeter so the colony doesn’t move back in under your patio.
Unilock Service in St. Cloud: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the part most contractors don’t mention. St. Cloud’s subdivisions built on former citrus groves, Grassy Point and Anthem Park are the clear examples, often have a layer of buried muck or decomposing roots sitting under the topsoil. That organic material breaks down over time, leaving voids beneath paver bases. The result is uneven settling within 10 to 15 years, even when the installation looked perfect at first. We’ve opened up paver patios in Anthem Park where the top layer of soil looked fine but the base below had settled into a soft pocket. That’s why we over-excavate and install geotextile fabric on every paver job in these neighborhoods. It separates the structural base from the unstable organics below, so your pavers aren’t sitting on soil that’s slowly disappearing.
On a warm morning in Anthem Park, our crew lifted a section of Unilock Town Hall pavers on a driveway where the owner complained of a sunken lane. We found the original base had been laid over a buried pine stump that had rotted into a void. We removed the organics, backfilled with compacted crushed concrete, relaid the same pavers with new polymeric sand, and the driveway has held flat through two rainy seasons. That’s the difference between patching a symptom and fixing what’s underneath.
Add St. Cloud’s location on the southern shore of East Lake Tohopekaliga to the mix. Waterfront properties in this area get wind-driven rain that pushes water sideways into paver joints and under the surface. Paver systems here need proper pitch and a base that drains first, holds second. We build for both.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in St. Cloud
We install and repair the Unilock lines most common across St. Cloud: EnduraColor pavers like Richcliff and Brussels Block, Town Hall, Beacon Hill Flagstone, and Mattoni. When you need a color-matched patch or an extension, we order genuine Unilock pavers so the face matches. For the structural materials, polymeric sand and base aggregate, we use quality aftermarket products tested for Central Florida’s rainfall and humidity. We keep common paver sizes and sand in stock locally, which shortens turnaround for St. Cloud homeowners. If the base under your existing pavers is still sound, we’ll repair section by section and never push a full teardown you don’t need. If the base has shifted more than an inch, we’ll quote replacement honestly.

AfterUnilock Service Pricing in St. Cloud
Pricing on paver work in St. Cloud depends on three things: the size of the area, the current condition of the base, and whether we’re building new or repairing existing. New paver driveways run higher because they require full excavation, base installation, and edge restraint. Repairs cost less unless the base itself is compromised. Every estimate is a written line-item number, and the price we hand you in writing is the price you pay, no change orders after the fact.
| Unilock Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 – $18,000 |
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 – $11,000 |
| Driveway Replacement | $5,000 – $14,000 |

FAQs – Unilock Construction in St. Cloud
Yes. Properties along East Lake Tohopekaliga get wind-driven rain that pushes sideways into paver joints and under the base, which accelerates polymeric sand washout and exposes edge restraint to more stress than interior lots. We use a coarser-grade polymeric sand and a more aggressive edge restraint detail on lake-adjacent homes. Call (850) 427-6454 if you’re seeing sand washing downhill after storms; we’ll inspect the pitch and joints for free.
Yes. We order genuine Unilock pavers in the same color and line, whether it’s EnduraColor Richcliff, Town Hall, or Beacon Hill Flagstone. Color-match accuracy depends on how long your existing pavers have been weathering, but we’ll do a dry lay before we lock anything in so you can see the match in daylight. If the batch lot differs slightly, we’ll tell you before the work starts, not after.
That haze is efflorescence, a mineral deposit pulled to the paver surface by repeated wet-dry cycles. St. Cloud’s humidity and frequent rain make it more persistent than in drier parts of Central Florida. We use an efflorescence-specific cleaner, not muriatic acid, and we’ll check whether the base is trapping water and feeding the cycle. In many cases, the haze can be removed for good once the moisture pathway is corrected. Call (850) 427-6454 for an assessment if the haze keeps coming back.
It depends on the subdivision. Homes in Grassy Point, Anthem Park, and similar 1990s-2000s communities were often built on former citrus grove land with buried organic material in the soil. Paver bases in those areas can settle unevenly within 10 to 15 years because the organics beneath them decompose and create voids. We over-excavate and lay geotextile fabric on every paver install in these neighborhoods to prevent that exact failure. Call (850) 427-6454 and we’ll check your paver grade, no charge for the estimate.
Treat around the perimeter before the base goes in, and keep a maintenance barrier after. Ants in St. Cloud, fire ants especially, tunnel through the bedding sand and create soft spots under pavers. We apply a granular treatment to the base before re-compacting, and we’ll recommend a quarterly perimeter treatment so the colony doesn’t move back in. If you already have sagging spots, call (850) 427-6454 for a repair estimate; we’ll lift, treat, and re-set before the ants do more damage.
