Unilock Construction in Hollywood, FL | Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale
General Contractor - Hollywood projects for Unilock paver construction typically run $3,500 – $18,000 depending on whether you’re doing a patio, driveway, or full replacement, and the work usually takes 2 – 5 days once the base is prepped. What makes our Unilock work different here is simple: we build for Hollywood’s sandy soil, salt air, and hurricane code requirements, not just to make the top layer look good on day one. We provide independent Unilock sales and service across every Hollywood neighborhood, from Hollywood Lakes to Emerald Hills, with a written price before any work starts. For a free, line-item estimate on your Unilock driveway or patio, call (754) 551-2922.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for Unilock Service
Trevor Nash and our crew have installed and repaired Unilock pavers across South Florida’s coastal conditions for over a decade. Trevor learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, then spent the better part of twenty years running crews across South Florida before building Penhallow Remodeling Fort Lauderdale on one principle: Unilock sales & service should start with a real number, not a verbal ballpark. We’re an independent Unilock service provider, which means we’re not locked into a manufacturer’s playbook. When a section of pavers fails, we assess honestly whether we can repair it or whether the base underneath needs rebuilding, and we tell you which before we touch the job. Every technician on your Hollywood property is background-checked and in uniform. You’ll know exactly who’s walking onto your driveway.
We favor genuine Unilock pavers for repairs where matching existing colors and textures matters, and we stock the most common Unilock lines locally so you’re not waiting on a freight order from up north. For base and joint stabilization, we use commercial-grade aggregates and polymeric sands rated for Miami-Dade code. The point is, we know which part of the system failed and we explain it in plain language before we fix it.

Common Unilock Construction Problems We Solve in Hollywood
- Efflorescence and salt crystallization. Hollywood’s salt air and irrigation with hard water leave a white, chalky haze on pavers, especially on unsealed installations near the beach. We remove the mineral deposits and reseal with a breathable sealer that works in humid climates, and we’ll tell you straight if the haze is cosmetic or a sign of trapped moisture below.
- Paver settlement and edge curling. The sandy subgrade common in coastal Hollywood shifts with heavy seasonal rain, and pavers start to sink or curl at the driveway edges. This is almost never a paver problem. It’s a base problem, and the fix is removing the section, compacting a proper aggregate base, and reinstalling. We don’t just top-dress the sand and call it done.
- Joint sand loss from wind-driven rain. Hollywood gets sideways rain during summer storms, and it washes out the polymeric sand between pavers, leaving gaps where weeds take root and pavers start to move. We use high-performance joint sands rated for our climate and re-compact the joints after installation.
- Surface abrasion and color fading. Unilock’s color-through pavers hold their color better than surface-stained concrete, but near the beach, unsealed pavers still lose their richness under relentless UV. We can restore and seal existing installations or guide you toward the EnduraColor or Richcliff lines for the best fade resistance in Hollywood’s sun.
- Root intrusion and cracked original slabs. In Hollywood Lakes, many 1920s-era concrete driveways have no rebar and have been cracked for years by tree roots. We remove the failed slab entirely, correct the grade, and build the Unilock system on a compacted base that won’t repeat the same failure.
Unilock Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing that changes everything for Unilock owners in Hollywood: the city’s Building Division requires paver installations in the coastal high-velocity hurricane zone to include permeable base design or positive drainage that prevents pooling, because standing water undermines interlocking pavers from below. That’s not a suggestion, it’s a code compliance issue. Meanwhile, many mid-century homes in Hollywood Lakes have original concrete driveways with zero rebar, so before we lay a single Unilock paver on those properties, the old slab comes out and a compacted aggregate base goes in. Skip that step and you’ll have pavers shifting within two seasons. We build every Hollywood job assuming the water table is close and the rain comes sideways, because here, both of those things are true.
Our crew recently completed a Hollywood Bathroom Remodeling-quality project, replacing a failing concrete driveway at a 1950s concrete-block home in Hollywood Lakes with Unilock Richcliff pavers in the fossil color. The original slab had cracked from root intrusion and had no rebar. We removed it, installed a 6-inch compacted limerock base with geotextile fabric, and laid the pavers over a 1-inch sand setting bed to meet the city’s drainage requirements. The homeowner now has a level, permeable driveway that has survived two hurricane seasons without paver shift. That’s the standard we build to, whether your Hollywood home is a 1920s bungalow or a beachfront condo courtyard.
Unilock Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
We install and repair the Unilock lines that perform best in Hollywood’s climate. Unilock EnduraColor pavers, with their dense surface and strong color retention, work well for driveways that catch full sun. Unilock Richcliff, with its natural flagstone texture, is a favorite for Hollywood patios and pool decks where visuals matter as much as durability. Beacon Hill Flagstone gives homeowners an old-Florida aesthetic that suits mid-century architecture, and Town Hall offers a classic brick look for walkways and edging. For repairs, we match existing textures using genuine Unilock pavers when color consistency is critical. For the base, we bring in the aggregate ourselves, not whatever the local yard has on special.

FAQs – Unilock Construction in Hollywood
Yes. Unilock pavers, when installed on a properly engineered base, meet Miami-Dade’s high-velocity hurricane zone requirements for ground-level hardscaping. What matters is the base design and drainage underneath, which is why we pull permits and build to the city’s permeable-base standard for coastal Hollywood. Call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll review your property’s specific requirements.
That haze is efflorescence, mineral salts rising through the paver from moisture below, and it’s accelerated by Hollywood’s salt air and irrigation with hard water. It’s usually cosmetic, but it can indicate trapped moisture under the pavers. We can clean and reseal the surface, and if there’s a drainage issue below, we’ll find it and fix it. Call (754) 551-2922 for an assessment.
In most cases, yes. We use genuine Unilock pavers from the same product line that’s already on your Hollywood property, and we’re honest when the existing stones have weathered enough that a perfect match isn’t possible. When you need a small section added, call (754) 551-2922 and we’ll tell you what’s realistic before any work starts.
At minimum, a compacted aggregate base of 4 – 6 inches over geotextile fabric, with a sand setting bed on top. Hollywood’s sandy subgrade shifts with rain, so skipping the fabric or using a thin base is the most common cause of settlement we see. Call (754) 551-2922 for a free evaluation of your site.
In most Hollywood neighborhoods, yes. A properly installed Unilock driveway resists cracking better than poured concrete on shifting soil, and the visual upgrade is immediate. The value comes from the base being done right, which is where a written price and a written guarantee matter. Call (754) 551-2922 for a free estimate.
