Unilock Driveway & Pavers: The West Palm Beach Owner’s Guide
Unilock paver driveway installation in West Palm Beach typically runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, the specific Unilock product line, and what’s happening under the surface. We install and service Unilock pavers across West Palm Beach, and we stock the most common replacement units, edge restraints, and jointing sand on our trucks so repairs usually happen in a single visit. Most homeowners find out they need us when a paver sinks, shifts out of line, or the joints start washing out after a heavy South Florida rain, and the sidewalk or driveway edge starts looking like a bad tile job.
Which Unilock Models This Applies To
Unilock runs three paver families you’ll see most often in West Palm Beach driveways: the Brussels Block and Courtstone lines for traditional cobble looks, the EnduraColor architectural slabs for a cleaner modern face, and the Thornbury line for a dressed, near-seamless surface. Each line has its own dimensional tolerances, so a paver pulled from a Brussels Block pallet will not sit flush in a Courtstone field, even if both are called “charcoal.” Match the paver by measuring length, width, and thickness against the existing units, then check the back face for the Unilock mold stamp. OEM Unilock units are the right call when color consistency matters, because Unilock batches color through the full paver body, not just a surface coat. Quality aftermarket units from a documented manufacturer can work for structural replacements under a car, but we tell West Palm Beach homeowners straight: if the driveway faces the street, buy the OEM unit so the color doesn’t drift after two summers of UV.

Signs Your Unilock Driveway & Pavers Is Failing
- Sunken pavers in the wheel tracks. This is almost always a base failure, not a paver failure. West Palm Beach sits on sandy soil that can wash out from under a base if the edge restraint lets go, so the paver drops because its support left.
- Joint sand washing out after every rain. Polymeric sand hardens when it cures. If it’s turning to mush and running into the street, either the wrong sand was used, it was installed wet, or the paver field is moving enough to crack the joints.
- Wobbling or rocking pavers underfoot. A rocking paver means the bedding layer beneath it has voids. One loose paver is a fix. Twenty loose pavers is a re-lay.
- Spalling or surface flaking on the paver face. In Florida, this is usually de-icing salt residue from up north, or a paver that wasn’t rated for vehicular load. Unilock paver driveways need units rated for cars, not patio-grade thin units.
- Edge pavers drifting outward. The edge restraint failed or was never installed. Once the perimeter lets go, the whole field starts creeping toward the property line, and every joint opens up with it.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
In West Palm Beach, a paver driveway replacement runs $7,000 to $18,000, with most average two-car driveways landing between $9,000 and $14,000. The spread comes down to three things: total square footage, what we find when we pull the old pavers, and whether the existing base can be recompacted or needs to be cut out and rebuilt. Every quote from Bradford Remodeling Co West Palm Beach includes the full scope in writing before work starts: demolition, base prep, geotextile fabric where it’s warranted, paver units, edge restraint, polymeric joint sand, and compaction. We don’t hand you a number for pavers and then discover a “base issue” after the first pallet is on the ground. The written price covers the job, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the work for a full year after we finish. Curtis Lane signs off on the scope, and if the driveway shifts or a paver fails inside that window, we’re back to correct it at no charge.
DIY or Call Us?
You can safely check the edge restraints yourself: walk the perimeter and look for plastic or metal edging that’s pulled away from the paver line. You can also mark sunken pavers with chalk so you know exactly where the low spots are when you call. What we don’t advise is pulling pavers and re-setting them yourself unless you have a plate compactor and a source of clean paver base. Hand-tamping a repaired area almost always leaves it low within six months because you can’t match the compaction of the surrounding field, and in West Palm Beach’s rainy season that low spot becomes a pond. If the issue is one or two loose pavers, it’s a quick truck fix. If you’re seeing structural movement across a quarter of the driveway, call (728) 203-9809 and we’ll square it away properly.
FAQs
A properly installed Unilock paver driveway in West Palm Beach should hold 25 to 30 years, though the joint sand typically needs a top-up reapplication every 3 to 5 years because Florida’s rain and humidity break down the polymer faster than drier climates. The pavers themselves rarely fail; it’s the base and edge restraint that determine lifespan. Call (728) 203-9809 for an exact assessment of your driveway’s condition, and the estimate is free.
A cracked paver can be pulled and swapped with a matching unit in under an hour, provided we can source the same Unilock line and color batch. Surface stains from oil or rust can sometimes be lifted, but deep staining in the paver body usually means replacement is the cleaner fix. Call (728) 203-9809 and we’ll tell you which one you’re dealing with before you spend a dollar.
Most two-car driveway replacements run 3 to 5 working days from demolition through final compaction, assuming dry weather and no surprises under the old base. We schedule around West Palm Beach’s afternoon storm pattern when we can, and we’ll give you a written timeline with the written price before any work starts. Call (728) 203-9809 to lock in a start date.
We carry the most common Unilock units, edge restraints, and polymeric sand on our trucks for single-paver and small-section repairs, so most spot fixes in West Palm Beach go down the same day we arrive. For full driveway replacements, we order pallets directly with the color and line you already have so the match is exact. Call (728) 203-9809 and we’ll confirm what’s on the truck before we roll out.
