Unilock Construction in Las Vegas, NV | Steel Horse Construction

We provide independent Unilock installation, repair, and re-leveling across Las Vegas, and we do it with caliche knowledge most crews simply don’t have. The thing that separates our Unilock work here? We know that hardpan sits less than a foot below grade on the east and north sides of the valley, and we plan for it before the first paver leaves the pallet. Steel Horse Construction handles new Unilock driveways, patios, walkways, and retaining walls from the 89101 core out to Summerlin. Call (877) 265-5715 for a free estimate on any Unilock project.

Why Las Vegas Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service

Russ Dillard grew up in Sunrise Manor and learned early that desert dirt doesn’t forgive shortcuts. He’s carried that through every Unilock job we’ve run, whether it’s a Beacon Hill front walk near Nellis Air Force Base or a Richcliff patio in a 1950s ranch off Stewart Avenue. We’re not manufacturer-affiliated with Unilock, and we won’t pretend to be. What we are is a licensed Las Vegas General Contractor that installs and repairs Unilock systems the way the Mojave demands.

Our crews know Unilock sales & service from base prep to final polymeric sand. We keep OEM edge restraints and Unilock-matched joint sand on hand for fast turnarounds across Las Vegas service area ZIP codes. No waiting on a supplier truck from California when your patio is already half torn out.

One contractor. Every phase. That’s how we run a Unilock job, same as we run a full kitchen or roof replacement.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Las Vegas

Here’s what we see repeatedly on Unilock installations across Las Vegas, including Unilock in North Las Vegas:

• Efflorescence blooms that keep coming back. Irrigation overspray and monsoon-season humidity pull salts through the paver face. If the pavers never fully dry, the white haze returns within weeks of cleaning. We match the cleaner to the series and adjust watering patterns before treating.
• Polymeric sand washout on sloped driveways. Summer cloudbursts sheet water across Brussels Block driveways faster than the joints can absorb. When the sand erodes, pavers shift. We use Unilock-specific sand and, on steeper grades, adjust the joint profile so water moves across rather than into the bed.
• Edge restraint heave and paver separation. Caliche wasn’t pre-drilled and the base was under-compacted. The result is lippage in high-traffic areas, especially driveways along the east side of the valley. We remove the section, drill the hardpan, and rebuild the base in lifts.
• Color fade and surface scaling on Richcliff and Lineo. UV exposure and 40-degree daily thermal swings break down sealers fast. When the sealer fails, the paver face starts to scale. We restore and reseal on a schedule that actually works for Las Vegas sun.
• Uneven settling after monsoon rain. Base aggregate shifts when water finds a low spot and pools. We see this on older patios where drainage was an afterthought. The fix is grade correction and base rebuild, not adding more sand on top.

Unilock Service in Las Vegas: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Here’s the thing most out-of-town crews miss, and it’s the reason we pre-drill where others just dig. Las Vegas caliche, the near-concrete hardpan that runs under much of the east and north valley, often sits less than a foot below grade. In ZIP codes like 89101 and 89102, you can scrape off the topsoil and hit rock-hard caliche before you’ve even thought about base aggregate. For a Unilock driveway or patio, that means jackhammering or pre-drilling before the first lift of base goes down. Skip that step, and the base never drains, never compacts, and never stays put. The pavers heave within a year. We’ve fixed enough of those jobs to know the extra days of prep aren’t optional.

Here’s what that looks like in practice. On a 1950s ranch in 89104 near Stewart Avenue, we tore out a heaved Brussels Block driveway where the original installer laid base directly over caliche. Our crew pre-drilled the hardpan, rebuilt the base in lifts, and reset the pavers with fresh Unilock edge restraints and polymeric sand. Two summers of 110°F heat later, that driveway hasn’t moved. We build it like it’s our name on the wall, because it is.

Unilock Models & Products We Service in Las Vegas

We install and repair the full line of Unilock pavers and walls, with the most demand here on Brussels Block, Beacon Hill, Richcliff, and Lineo. Each series has different joint widths, face textures, and sealing requirements, and we spec accordingly. For OEM parts like edge restraints and polymeric sand, we use Unilock-matched product so the system behaves as designed. Base aggregate and drainage materials we source locally from Las Vegas suppliers, because hauling rock across the desert makes no sense when the right spec is available two miles from the job, whether it’s Unilock in Paradise or downtown. Need a specific Brussels Block paver matched for a repair? We’ll pull from local stock or order direct and have it on site fast.
