Boral Driveway & Pavers: The Pomona Owner’s Guide
We stock and install Boral-compatible driveway and paver components across Pomona, with most paver repair and replacement projects running $3,500-$18,000 depending on scope and material grade. A typical Boral paver reset or section replacement in the Pomona Valley can usually be scheduled within 48 hours, and we carry common edge restraints, bedding sand, and polymeric joint sand on our trucks. Most Pomona homeowners discover their Boral driveway or patio is failing when they notice joint sand washing out after rain, pavers settling into uneven planes, or weed growth pushing through gaps that were tight five years ago - signs that the bedding layer or edge restraint has degraded under our combination of hot, dry summers and occasional heavy winter storms.
Which Boral Models This Applies To
Boral’s hardscape line in the California market has shifted over the past decade, and identification matters because the edge restraint profiles and paver thicknesses vary by series. We regularly work with Boral Stonegate pavers, the Boral Cobble series, and the Boral Plaza line - these were distributed heavily through Pomona-area suppliers between 2008 and 2018. To identify your specific Boral product, check the paver edge for a stamped “Boral” logo or look for the original purchase documentation; if you have leftover pavers in a garage corner, flip one over - the underside often shows a series code molded into the surface.
The OEM-versus-aftermarket question for Boral is specific: Boral exited the North American hardscape market in 2021, so true OEM replacement pavers are now available only through existing distributor inventory or salvage. For edge restraints, bedding sand, and joint sand, we source from Belgard and Techo-Bloc - brands whose specs match or exceed the original Boral installation standards. We do not install generic big-box edge restraint for Boral repairs; the profile mismatch causes lateral drift within two seasons on Pomona’s clay-heavy soils. Measure twice, then we can talk.
Signs Your Boral Driveway & Pavers Is Failing

- Joint sand washing out between pavers. This means the polymeric sand binding layer has broken down, usually from UV exposure and the thermal expansion cycles common in Pomona’s inland valley climate. Once the sand goes, water channels underneath and begins eroding the bedding layer.
- Pavers settling into visible low spots or tilting. The bedding sand or aggregate base has compacted unevenly, often where water pools or where the original base preparation was thin. In Pomona’s older neighborhoods near Ganesha Park, we see this where tree roots have displaced the base from below.
- Weeds or grass growing through gaps. The joint sand is gone and the weed barrier fabric, if installed, has degraded. This is cosmetic at first but signals that the structural layer beneath is exposed to organic material and moisture.
- Edge pavers shifting outward or sinking. The edge restraint - typically plastic or aluminum spikes - has failed or pulled free. This is the most urgent symptom because once the edge goes, the field pavers lose lateral support and the repair area expands quickly.
- White haze or efflorescence on paver faces. Calcium salts have migrated to the surface, indicating moisture is moving through the paver body or bedding layer. In Pomona’s hard-water environment, this is common and usually signals a drainage issue beneath.

For Boral driveway and paver work in Pomona, our installed pricing follows the ranges below. Every quote is a flat written price with scope and warranty documented before work begins - Clause 1 of the Haven Standard.
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Paver driveway installation (new) | $7,000-$18,000 |

| Driveway replacement | $5,000-$14,000 |

| Driveway sealing | $250-$700 |
| Sectional paver repair / reset (per 100 sq ft) | $800-$2,400 |
What drives the range: paver material grade (standard concrete paver versus porcelain or natural stone), base depth required for your soil conditions, and whether we need to remove and recompact the existing aggregate base. Our quotes include removal of failed material, base preparation or repair, bedding sand, paver installation, polymeric joint sand application, and edge restraint. We pull permits when required by Pomona building services and pass inspection before final payment. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation; material warranties vary by manufacturer and are documented in your written scope.
DIY or Call Us?

There’s a honest line here. A homeowner can safely inspect their Boral installation for the symptoms above, sweep fresh joint sand into minor gaps, and even reset a single loose paver if the base beneath is still sound. What we do not recommend: attempting to regrade or recompact the aggregate base, cutting paver edge restraint with power tools, or using non-polymeric sand that will wash out in the next Pomona rain. The base layer determines whether your repair lasts two years or fifteen, and base preparation requires plate compaction and grade verification that most homeowners don’t have equipment for. If you’re seeing multiple symptoms or any edge failure, the repair area is likely larger than it appears from the surface. Call (626) 606-1081 and we’ll scope it with a written price - estimates are free, and we deliver them before any work starts.
FAQs
Concrete pavers in Pomona’s inland valley typically perform 20-30 years when installed on a properly compacted base with adequate drainage. The joint sand and edge restraint are the maintenance items, usually needing attention every 5-8 years depending on traffic and irrigation exposure. Call (626) 606-1081 for an assessment of your specific installation - estimates are free.
Individual paver replacement and sectional resetting are viable if the base is intact and matching pavers can be sourced. Full replacement becomes necessary when the base has failed across a large area, when drainage was never properly established, or when the original Boral color has been discontinued and aesthetic consistency matters. We stock Belgard and Techo-Bloc alternatives that integrate well with existing Boral installations. Call (626) 606-1081 for a line-item quote - estimates are free.
A sectional repair of 100-200 square feet typically takes 1-2 days including cure time for polymeric sand. A full driveway replacement runs 3-5 days depending on base conditions and permit inspection scheduling through Pomona building services. We do not promise same-day completion on planned hardscape work; the base compaction and joint sand curing require time to perform correctly. Call (626) 606-1081 to schedule - estimates are free.
We carry polymeric joint sand, bedding sand, aluminum edge restraint, and common paver types from Belgard and Techo-Bloc on our Pomona-area trucks. True Boral OEM pavers are no longer manufactured; we source matching replacements from existing distributor inventory or recommend compatible alternatives. Every repair includes a documented photo record of what was found and what was installed - standard on every visit, not an upgrade. Call (626) 606-1081 to confirm availability for your specific repair - estimates are free.
