Unilock Construction in Broadmoor, CA | Ashford Contractors
If you need Unilock paver, wall, or slab work in Broadmoor, we handle it independently, start to finish. We install and repair Unilock systems throughout the 94015 ZIP, and the thing that sets our work apart here is that we rebuild the base and edge restraint to match Broadmoor’s fault-zone soils and damp marine air, not just the paver on top. As an independent contractor, we’re not tied to a manufacturer program, so our recommendations reflect what actually holds up on your lot. Call (877) 752-3868 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Broadmoor Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
We work with Unilock’s paver, wall, and slab systems every week, and we know how those products behave in Broadmoor’s foggy, damp conditions and on the area’s older, settled soils. Glen Mossier, who owns Ashford Contractors, grew up in Foster City’s Marlin Cove neighborhood watching lagoon-side homes get rebuilt after water damage. He trained in construction technology at Skyline College in San Bruno, where he learned the materials science that actually shows up on a job site. That background shapes how we approach every Unilock job in Broadmoor: base depth, drainage, edge restraint, and paver match come before anything cosmetic. Homeowners who want a single accountable contractor for exterior hardscape and the rest of the property appreciate that we source real Unilock units and quality compatible materials without a manufacturer pushing a particular product line. We’re licensed, insured, and bonded, and every estimate is written and line-itemed.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Broadmoor
Here’s what we see most often on Unilock hardscape in Broadmoor, and what causes it.
- Efflorescence bloom and persistent damp staining. The warm, dry summers just east of the San Bruno Gap? Broadmoor doesn’t get those. Persistent summer fog keeps paver surfaces wet and slows evaporation, so salts migrate up through the concrete and leave chalky white deposits across the field. Add shaded joints and algae moves in. We clean, treat, and re-sand with a polymeric that resists joint weed and algae growth.
- Joint sand washout and edge restraint failure. Wind-driven marine moisture works its way into paver joints, and on older Broadmoor driveways and patios the original base was often laid thin over old slabs. When the edge restraint lets go, the field shifts and ruts. This is the most common call we get.
- Frost and moisture-driven spalling. When bedding is poorly drained and water sits under Unilock units through the damp season, freeze-thaw cycling can cause surface scaling and flaking. The pavers don’t fail on their own; the drainage and base underneath do.
- Color fade and surface wear on west-facing surfaces. Years of wind abrasion plus UV and moisture cycling take a visible toll, particularly on older Unilock wall and paver lines that catch the afternoon wind off the ocean. We match color where the line is still produced.
- Heaved or rutted sections on older driveways. Broadmoor’s post-WWII housing stock often has thin or mixed base under driveways and patios. When a field starts moving, it’s almost always the base and edge restraint, not the paver itself.
Unilock Service in Broadmoor: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Broadmoor sits on the San Andreas Fault zone near the Daly City/Colma border, and that’s not a footnote for paver work. It changes how we build. Seismic standards in this part of San Mateo County are tighter than in most of the Bay Area, and for hardscape, that translates to base prep and edge restraint carrying more of the job than the paver itself. Because Broadmoor is an unincorporated San Mateo County enclave wrapped around Daly City and Colma, permits and code checks run through the county, not Daly City. We pull the permits when a job needs them, and we’ve passed county inspections on paver projects here many times.
On a tight infill lot off the Daly City/Colma border, we pulled up a heaved Unilock Brussels Block driveway where the original base had been laid thin over an old slab and the edge restraint had let go. We rebuilt the base to depth, reset the field with matching Brussels Block, locked the edges, and re-sanded with polymeric joint sand so it drains and holds through the fog season. That job wasn’t about the pavers being wrong; the original installation skipped the structural steps. In Broadmoor, you can’t skip those steps.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Broadmoor
We install and repair the full Unilock paver and wall lines, including Brussels Block, Beacon Hill, Town Hall, and Cambridge Paving Stones. When a line is still in production, we use genuine Unilock units to match existing courses and colors. When a line has been discontinued and a true match isn’t available, we turn to quality compatible pavers and polymeric joint sand that hold up under Broadmoor’s conditions. We carry common Unilock units and joint materials locally for fast turnaround on Broadmoor repairs, and we can source less common products quickly. On most Broadmoor hardscape jobs, a targeted repair and re-sand saves the field. Full replacement makes sense only when the base and edge restraint have failed beyond recovery. We’ll tell you which situation you’re in before any work gets scheduled.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Broadmoor
Yes. When the original Unilock line is still produced, we source genuine units for Unilock repair in Colma and surrounding areas to match the existing color and finish. When the line has been discontinued, we find the closest compatible paver and blend it into the field so the repair reads as intentional, not patchy.
That’s efflorescence. Broadmoor’s persistent summer fog keeps paver surfaces wet and slows evaporation, so salts from the concrete migrate to the surface and leave chalky deposits. It’s common here, it’s not a paver defect, and South San Francisco Unilock service can clean and seal it. Call (877) 752-3868 and we’ll take a look.
Yes. The same seismic movement that affects home foundations also stresses paver fields. We build deeper, better-compacted bases with proper edge restraint on Broadmoor driveways and patios, because a standard base will shift and rut here over time. This is one reason we don’t cut base corners on any job.
Yes, when they’re installed over a properly drained base with locked edges. The failures we see in Broadmoor are almost always base and drainage failures, not paver failures — Unilock service in Pacifica sees the same pattern. The climate here demands better drainage and stronger edge restraint than a dry inland site would.
Sometimes. Because Broadmoor is unincorporated San Mateo County, not Daly City, paver projects here are permitted through the county when they meet certain thresholds. We’ll tell you whether your job needs a permit, and we’ll pull it and manage the inspection if it does. Call (877) 752-3868 for a straight answer on your specific project.
