AfterUnilock Construction in Bonita Springs, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
We provide independent Unilock paver and wall service across Bonita Springs, from paver driveways and patios to U-Cara wall systems, plus Kitchen Remodeling - Bonita Springs. The thing that sets our Unilock work here apart is that we build every project to Lee County’s post-Ian flood-zone rules as a matter of course, not as an afterthought. Tom Barrett and our crews know how these pavers perform along the Imperial River canal network. If you need Unilock service in Bonita Springs, call (877) 610-1318.
Why Bonita Springs Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
We’ve been working with Unilock products long enough to know which paver lines hold up under Southwest Florida sun and which ones need more attention near salt water. Our crews are trained directly on Unilock installation and repair techniques, and we stock common replacement units and accessories locally so you’re not waiting on a freight truck from up north. Tom Barrett grew up in the San Fernando Valley and learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, and he’s brought that same hands-on approach to every hardscape job we take on. We’re owner-operated, and that means the person who shakes your hand is the person who stands behind the work. For full Unilock sales & service, we carry the depth that comes from years of rebuilding these surfaces in Bonita Springs specifically.
Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Bonita Springs
- Sun-faded and salt-pitted surface texture on older paver driveways in canal-front 34134 homes. The combination of intense UV exposure and airborne salt from the canals slowly eats away at the paver surface. We see this most often on homes along the Imperial River corridor where the original driveways were installed fifteen or twenty years ago. Refinishing can bring back texture, but when pitting is deep, we replace with matching Unilock units from the same series.
- Settled and uneven patio pavers from hidden soil washout after Hurricane Ian’s storm surge. Ian’s surge didn’t just knock things over; it moved soil out from under pavers in ways that aren’t visible until the surface starts to dip. In Bonita Springs, this is especially common near canal banks and low-lying lots where water sat for days. We pull the pavers, rebuild the base, and re-lay the surface so it drains properly.
- Cracked or spalled wall caps on U-Cara systems due to salt crystallization and thermal stress. Near the water, salt gets into the cap joints, crystallizes, and expands. Add the daily freeze-thaw cycle of hot days and cooler nights, and caps start to crack at the edges. We replace caps with Unilock-manufactured units and re-point the joints to slow the next round of damage.
- Joint sand loss and weed intrusion in shaded pool decks near Pelican Landing. In the shade, polymeric sand doesn’t cure as hard, and once it starts washing out, weeds follow. We use the right joint compound for the shade conditions and re-compact the paver base before refilling joints. This is a recurring issue in the master-planned golf communities where dense landscaping keeps pool decks in shadow most of the day.
- Base migration under paver driveways after heavy stormwater flow. When water runs through a paver driveway instead of across it, the base material can shift and create ruts. In Bonita Springs, we see this on homes where the driveway slopes toward the road and stormwater channels along the edge. We rebuild with open-graded base materials that resist migration under Florida’s drainage patterns.
Unilock Service in Bonita Springs: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Because much of Bonita Springs sits in FEMA AE and VE flood zones, any paver project that is part of a post-Ian substantial improvement must use open-graded base materials and permeable joints to satisfy Lee County’s stormwater detention rules. That requirement is not enforced as aggressively in higher-elevation Naples or inland Fort Myers. For homeowners in Bonita Springs, this means a paver driveway or patio rebuild isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about compliance. If the county has flagged your property as exceeding the 50% substantial-damage threshold, your paver work has to meet elevation and drainage standards that didn’t exist for the original installation. We’ve rebuilt Unilock surfaces across the 34135 ZIP where this exact scenario played out. The good news is that open-graded base systems are actually better for Southwest Florida anyway: they handle heavy rain without holding water against the pavers, which reduces efflorescence and joint sand loss over time.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Bonita Springs
We service the full range of Unilock paver lines you’re likely to have on a Bonita Springs property, including Beacon Hill Smooth, Brussels Block, Copthorne, and the U-Cara Multi-Face Wall System. When a paver needs replacing, we always try to source the exact Unilock-manufactured unit from the same series first. Mixing aftermarket look-alike pavers often results in shade mismatch and premature edge wear. For discontinued lines, we source the closest current Unilock match and refinish adjacent units so the surface reads as continuous. We stock common replacement units and accessories locally in Bonita Springs, so most repairs can happen without a long wait for special orders.

FAQs - Unilock Construction in Bonita Springs
If your property is in a FEMA AE or VE flood zone and the paver work is part of a post-Ian substantial improvement, Lee County requires open-graded base materials and permeable joints to meet stormwater detention rules. We handle this as standard practice on Bonita Springs jobs, and your written scope will spell out exactly how the base and joints are designed for compliance. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate that accounts for your property’s flood-zone status.
Yes, in most cases we can match pre-Ian Unilock pavers using the same series and color blend when it’s still in production. For discontinued lines, we source the closest current match and refinish adjacent units so the transition is subtle. We prioritize Unilock-manufactured replacements over aftermarket pavers to avoid shade mismatch.
Yes. Salt crystallization from brackish canal air gets into cap joints and accelerates spalling and cracking. We replace caps with Unilock-manufactured units and use a jointing approach that reduces salt intrusion. Homes in the 34134 ZIP along the canal front are the ones we see needing this most often.
Storm surge moved soil out from under paver bases, especially near canal banks and low-lying lots where water pooled for days. The surface may look fine until the base shifts and pavers start to dip. We pull the affected area, rebuild the base with open-graded aggregate, and re-lay the pavers so drainage works properly. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’re seeing uneven spots, and we’ll tell you whether it’s a simple fix or a full base rebuild.
If less than 20-30% of the surface is structurally damaged, repair and refinishing usually make more sense than replacement. We can refinish faded units and replace only the cracked or pitted ones. When damage exceeds that threshold, full replacement with matching Unilock units is the better long-term investment. Our estimates include a repair-vs-replace recommendation in writing, so you can decide with real numbers in front of you.
