Unilock Construction in Boerne, TX | Mason Remodeling Co San Antonio
We provide independent Unilock paver and wall installation, reset, and repair across Boerne, and the one thing that separates our work here comes down to base prep. Boerne’s thin soil over limestone and its flash-flood runoff patterns mean a Unilock job done with generic spec work fails within a few years. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll tell you exactly what your lot needs before we quote a dollar.
We’ve been installing and rebuilding Unilock sales & service work in Boerne for over a decade. We are an independent contractor, not a manufacturer-authorized dealer, and that independence means we recommend what actually holds up on your specific lot, not what a distribution agreement tells us to push.
Why Boerne Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Most Boerne paver failures we see share one root cause: the base wasn’t built for limestone shelf, slope, and stormwater. We learned that the hard way years ago, and Isaac Pruett, our owner, has made base prep the first thing we check on every estimate. Isaac spent two decades swinging hammers across the Southwest before settling into San Antonio work, and the thing he drills into every crew is that in Boerne, the paver itself is rarely the problem. What’s underneath it usually is.
We’d rather reset and repack a failed base than sell you a full replacement you don’t need. That approach has kept a lot of Boerne driveways and patios out of the landfill, and it’s why our repeat work comes from neighbors who’ve seen what a properly edged and compacted base survives. You’ll know who’s coming before the crew arrives, the price will be in writing before work starts, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in plain terms.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Boerne
- Base washout under paver driveways. Boerne’s thunderstorms drop water fast, and if the aggregate base wasn’t edged and compacted for slope, runoff scours the fines out from under the pavers. Within two years you’ll see sunken sections and cracked units, usually near the garage apron or wherever the driveway pitches toward the street.
- Joint sand erosion in paver patios. Flash floods don’t just move water; they strip polymeric sand from the wide joints of Brussels Block and similar lines. Once the sand goes, pavers shift and weeds root in the gaps. We see this most on patios built without enough pitch away from the house.
- Freeze-thaw spalling on older pavers. Boerne’s occasional hard freezes hit north-facing walls and shaded patios hardest. Older Unilock pavers with higher water absorption flake at the surface when trapped moisture freezes and expands. It’s cosmetic at first, but it worsens each winter.
- Retaining wall lean from hydrostatic pressure. Hillside lots with thin soil over limestone shed water straight into the wall’s backfill. If the drainage wasn’t built right behind a Rivercrest Wall, the pressure pushes it out of plumb. By the time you see the bulge, the fix usually means excavation, not just re-leveling.
- Wrong product for the lot’s drainage realities. A paver line that performs beautifully on a flat San Antonio lot can fail fast on a Boerne hillside. We re-spec jobs where the original installer picked the wrong unit for the slope and runoff load.
Unilock Service in Boerne: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Boerne’s dark-sky ordinance is the overlooked factor in a lot of Unilock decisions. Many high-end custom homes in neighborhoods like Esperanza specify darker, low-reflectivity paver color blends specifically to keep outdoor lighting compliant, and that changes two things. Darker pavers absorb more afternoon heat, which stresses the joint sand and edge restraints differently than lighter units, and the color blend has to be matched exactly when we add a patio or extend a driveway years later. We often pair paver work with landscape lighting adjustments so the finished hardscape works with the ordinance instead of fighting it. That’s a Boerne-specific consideration you won’t hear about from a generic installer working out of San Antonio.
Then there’s the limestone shelf. A lot that looks flat on the surface can have solid rock sitting 18 inches down. Our crew reset a 400-square-foot Brussels Block driveway in Esperanza after the owner noticed a 3-inch dip near the garage. Flash-flood runoff had scoured the limestone-base pocket and washed out the joint sand. We excavated to solid rock, rebuilt the base with geotextile and edged the perimeter, then repacked with polymeric sand and sealed. Six months later, after a 5-inch rain, the driveway stayed dead flat. That’s what proper base prep means on Boerne ground.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Boerne
We work on the full Unilock residential line, including Brussels Block, Thornbury, Rivercrest Wall, and Lineo Dimensional Stone. For repairs that need a color and texture match, we source genuine Unilock units from local authorized dealers in the San Antonio area. When a line has been discontinued, we source quality aftermarket pavers that match within industry tolerance and tell you exactly what the difference will look like in Boerne’s sun before you commit. For lines out of production more than ten years, or jobs where the structural base failure is widespread, full replacement is sometimes the honest call. Otherwise, resetting and repacking is what we recommend. We’re set up to serve the broader Boerne service area with quick turnaround on in-stock materials.

Shallow limestone requiring rock sawing, steep slopes needing geogrid reinforcement, or a failed base that has to be fully excavated all add real labor hours.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Boerne
Flash flooding strips the fines from under and between pavers, especially when the base wasn’t edged and compacted for slope. The fix is proper edge restraints, geotextile where the lot drains hard, and polymeric sand that resists washout. Call (254) 269-5071 for an estimate; we’ll check your drainage pattern and tell you what your driveway actually needs.
They do when they’re installed with the right base and drainage, and when the specific unit has low water absorption. Older pavers with higher absorption rates spall on north-facing and shaded areas during Boerne’s occasional hard freezes. We’ll tell you honestly whether your existing line is freeze-prone or structurally sound.
That depends on the line and how long it’s been in production. For current Unilock lines like Brussels Block or Thornbury, we source matching genuine units from local authorized dealers. For discontinued lines, we find aftermarket matches within tolerance and show you a sample before we start. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll identify your exact paver and color blend.
On Boerne hillside lots, it’s almost always a drainage problem first. Hydrostatic pressure behind the wall builds when water can’t escape, pushing the wall out of plumb even if the base was set correctly. We excavate, install proper drainage, and reset the wall rather than just shoving it back and hoping it stays. Call (254) 269-5071 for a site visit.
We spec darker, low-reflectivity blends like certain Brussels Block colorways for dark-sky compliance, but the right answer depends on your exact sun exposure and how much heat the surface will absorb. We pair the paver choice with lighting adjustments so the patio works with Boerne’s ordinance. Call (254) 269-5071 for a recommendation based on your specific lot.
