Wellborn Driveway & Pavers Nationwide

Wellborn Driveway & Pavers: The Pomona Owner’s Guide

We stock and install Wellborn-compatible driveway pavers and retaining-wall systems in Pomona, with most replacement projects running $7,000-$18,000 for paver driveway installations and $3,500-$11,000 for paver patios, depending on substrate condition and square footage. Most Wellborn paver and wall-block parts we carry are available for next-day installation once we verify your series match. Homeowners usually discover a problem when settling creates visible dips after winter rains, or when edge restraints pull away from the border and the field pattern starts spreading into the planting bed.

Which Wellborn Models This Applies To

Wellborn’s hardscape line is narrower than their cabinet catalog, which makes misidentification costly. We most commonly see the Belcrest retaining-wall series and the Old Dominion cobble-style paver in Pomona installations from the 2015-2022 period. The Belcrest wall uses a pin-connect system with 6-inch setback increments; the Old Dominion line ships in 4×8 and 6×6 units with a specified 2.36-inch thickness.

To identify your series, check the back face of a lifted paver or the top course of a wall block for the stamped “WB” logo and a four-digit date code. If the stamp is weathered, measure thickness with a caliper, not a tape measure, Wellborn specs allow ±1/32 inch but aftermarket copies often run thinner at 2.25 inches. We source OEM-equivalent units from Belgard and Techo-Bloc when Wellborn factory stock is back-ordered, but we flag the substitution in writing before any work starts. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, the price you see is the price before anyone picks up a tool.

Signs Your Wellborn Driveway & Pavers Is Failing

• Sunken or dipping sections. The compacted base has washed out or settled, usually from insufficient edge restraint or a skipped geotextile layer during original install. In Pomona, the clay-heavy soils near the foothills accelerate this when drainage is poor.
• Spreading joints with weeds or sand loss. Polymeric sand has degraded or was never properly wetted during installation. The gaps widen, water enters, and the bedding course migrates.
• Chipped corners or spalling faces. Wellborn’s concrete pavers are rated for freeze-thaw, but de-icing salt and the thermal cycling of Pomona’s 100-plus summer days cause surface delamination after eight to twelve years.
• Wall leaning or bowing. The setback pin has sheared, or the gravel drainage zone behind the wall is clogged with native soil. This is structural; the wall is transferring load it was not designed to carry.
• Efflorescence that returns after cleaning. White mineral deposits indicate water is moving through the unit, not around it. The paver or block is porous beyond specification, often from a manufacturing variance in the cement blend.

Replacement Cost & What’s Included

Paver driveway installation in Pomona runs $7,000-$18,000; concrete driveway installation is $4,500-$12,000 if you are considering a material switch. The spread reflects three variables: square footage, whether we need to remove and recompact the base course, and if your HOA or the City of Pomona requires a permit for the work.

Our written quote itemizes demolition, disposal, base prep, bedding sand, paver or block units, edge restraint, polymeric sand, and compaction. We pull permits when required and pass inspection before final payment. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation; manufacturer defects in the Wellborn material are handled through the factory warranty, which we document in your file. Every visit includes a photo record of the substrate condition, the compaction test, and the finished surface, delivered by text or email before we leave.

DIY or Call Us?

An owner can safely check for loose edge restraint or measure a few lifted pavers for thickness. What you should not attempt: removing more than a few units without understanding the base layer, or rebuilding a retaining wall over 24 inches tall. The wall is resisting soil load you cannot see; a failed rebuild can shift your grade onto a neighbor’s property or undermine a foundation.

We carry common Wellborn-compatible units and edge restraint on our truck for Pomona calls, but we measure the full area before quoting. No work proceeds without a written price and a signed scope. Call (626) 606-1081 to schedule your free estimate.
