What Makes Unilock Authorized Contractors an Elite Group You Can Trust

Building the outdoor space of your dreams should be an exciting and positive experience. It’s a large investment into your family’s home that if built properly, will be enjoyed for many years to come. The key to a successful project is hiring a professional landscape contractor.

Unilock Authorized Contractors are an elite group of contractors that go through a rigorous screening process to earn authorized status. Not just anyone is granted authorized status. The things Unilock screens for before a contractor is even considered for this program are the following:

1. The contractor must have 5 years of experience installing hardscapes, and been operating their own business for at least 1 year
2. Unilock must complete 3 homeowner reference checks of past clients
3. We’ll complete 2 inspections of in-progress projects to ensure they are excavating, grading and compacting to our standards and using proper base materials
4. We’ll also complete 2 inspections of 2 recently completed projects to follow up on their design techniques, line work and the quality of their cuts and edging restraints
5. Finally, we’ll inspect 3 projects completed more than 3 years ago, to ensure the construction has remained sound after natural wear and tear
6. The contractor must prove that they are exercising worksite safety by providing a copy of their company’s liability insurance and third party worker’s compensation coverage

In addition, all Unilock Authorized Contractors are obligated to offer homeowners a guarantee on their projects. Customers who work with a Unilock Authorized Contractor have additional peace-of-mind, because only Unilock Authorized Contractors’ work is guaranteed by Unilock for 2 years after the installation. This means, we believe so strongly in the quality of the workmanship and integrity of Authorized Contractors, that should they be unable or refuse to fulfill their warranty obligations, Unilock will step in and back their warranty.
