Belgard Construction in Pomona, CA | Gold Star Contractors
Gold Star Contractors provides independent Belgard paver, patio, driveway, and retaining wall installation and repair across Pomona, including the 91766, 91767, 91768, and 91769 ZIP codes. What makes our Belgard work different here is that we understand Pomona’s pre-1960 slabs, citrus-era rear alleys, and hard mineral-heavy irrigation water. The base under the pavers matters as much as the pavers themselves, and that’s where most Pomona jobs go wrong. Call (833) 382-8544 for a free estimate.
Why Pomona Residents Choose Us for Belgard Service
We have torn out enough failed hardscape in Pomona to know that the paver on top is only half the story. A Belgard Lafitt Rustic Slab patio looks great until the base under it settles, the joints wash out, or the old slab beneath heaves during a Santa Ana heat swing. Noel Carranza, our owner and general contractor, grew up in Anaheim’s Platinum Triangle watching older tract homes get renovated block by block. That’s where he learned to read how aging structures actually behave, which is exactly the skill you need on Pomona’s 1920s-to-1960s housing stock. We specify genuine Belgard sales & service materials, manage the install, and stand behind the result. One contractor. Every system. No handoff gaps.
We are an independent contractor and are not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by Belgard. That independence means we recommend what the site actually needs, not what a product line pushes. If your foundation is sound and only a few pavers are cracked, we repair. If the base failed, we tell you that re-laying is cheaper long-term than patching over bad subgrade.

Common Belgard Construction Problems We Solve in Pomona
- Efflorescence on Catalina and Lafitt pavers. Pomona’s water is hard. Irrigation runoff and winter storm water carry minerals that sit on the paver surface during the dry months, then evaporate and leave that white, chalky bloom. It is more than a cosmetic issue. It tells you water is not draining through the joints the way it should. We clean the surface and correct the drainage path so the problem stops returning.
- Edge and joint failure on driveways and patios over thin, unprepared base. Many Pomona bungalows in 91766 and 91767 have original concrete slabs that were poured long before anyone thought about vehicle loads. When pavers go on top of that without proper base depth and compaction, edges creep outward and joints crack. We rebuild the base properly, with edge restraints that actually hold.
- Polymeric sand washout from Santa Ana winds and winter downpours. South- and west-facing hardscape in Pomona bakes in full summer sun, and Santa Ana winds blow dust and debris into the joints. When winter rain hits, the joint sand erodes. We reset pavers and install high-quality aftermarket polymeric sand rated for Inland Empire thermal swings.
- Retaining wall settlement and lean. Belgard Urbana and Dimensions wall blocks are solid products, but set them against a citrus-era rear-lot grade change without geogrid or drainage behind the wall and they will lean. Slowly, then all at once. We excavate, install proper drainage and reinforcement, and rebuild the wall so it stays put.
- Drainage failure against stucco and foundations. A paver patio that slopes toward the house sends water against the stucco and into the foundation. We see this constantly on Pomona’s older homes, where the original grade was never reworked. We correct the slope before we lay a single paver, so storm water moves away from the structure.
Belgard Service in Pomona: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here is something you will not read on a generic Belgard page. Pomona’s pre-1960 homes near downtown and the fairgrounds were built around citrus- and rail-era rear alleys. Those alleys are still there. What that means for Belgard driveway and patio work is that the job often has to be staged and hauled from the alley side rather than the street. Base material, pavers, and equipment need alley access, which changes everything: the width of the equipment we use, how we protect the original garage slab you are keeping, and how we sequence the work so we do not block your neighbors. On a recent Spanish-revival cottage off the older blocks near downtown, the homeowner wanted a Belgard Lafitt Rustic Slab patio over what turned out to be a cracked, thin original slab with an alley-side access point. We also provide Belgard in La Verne for similar historic homes. We hauled base material in from the alley, cut out the failed concrete, rebuilt the base to depth with proper compaction and edge restraint, and set the Lafitt pavers with genuine Belgard units so the finished patio tied cleanly into the rear addition and garage conversion the owner was planning. The result was a hardscape that drains away from the house instead of puddling against the stucco during winter storms. That is the difference between knowing Belgard products and knowing Pomona lots.
Belgard Models & Products We Service in Pomona
We work with the Belgard lines most common in Pomona: Lafitt Rustic Slab pavers, Catalina Grana, Catalina slab pavers, Urbana and Dimensions modular retaining wall systems, Mega-Lafitt, and Weston Stone wall blocks. We also offer Belgard service in Claremont using these same product lines. For repairs, we use genuine Belgard pavers and matching accessories so the patch blends with what is already on the ground. For base aggregate, edge restraints, and polymeric sand, we use quality aftermarket products where they perform as well or better than the OEM option. That keeps costs down without cutting corners. We spec the brand, manage the install, and stand behind the result.

FAQs – Belgard Construction in Pomona
Sometimes. If the existing slab is structurally sound with only minor surface cracking, we can overlay Belgard pavers on top. But if the slab is cracked, heaving, or was never poured thick enough for load, laying pavers over it will fail. Most Pomona bungalow slabs in the 91766 and 91767 core were not built for today’s vehicle loads, and the honest answer is usually to remove and rebuild the base. We will tell you which applies before we quote. Call (833) 382-8544 for an assessment.
The white haze is efflorescence, and it comes from Pomona’s hard mineral-heavy irrigation water sitting on the paver surface during the dry season. The minerals evaporate out and leave the chalky residue. Cleaning the surface helps temporarily, but the permanent fix is correcting the drainage and joint sand so water moves through the paver system rather than pooling on top. We handle both: the cosmetic clean and the underlying drainage correction.
Yes, and this is one of the most common jobs we do in Pomona. The citrus-era rear alleys near downtown and the fairgrounds mean driveway work often has to be staged from the alley side rather than the street. We plan for that from the start: equipment size, material staging, and protecting the original garage slab you are keeping. The access route changes the job; we have done it enough times to know the sequence. Call (833) 382-8544 to walk through your lot.
If the wall blocks are leaning but the base is sound and the wall is not holding back a significant grade change, we can sometimes reset and reinforce. If the wall was built without geogrid or proper drainage behind it, leaning means the whole system is compromised. In Pomona, where citrus-era rear-lot grade changes are common, the realistic answer is usually a rebuild with drainage and reinforcement. For nearby communities, we offer Los Serranos Belgard service with the same thorough approach. We will inspect the wall and tell you straight which one you need.
It depends on exposure. South- and west-facing pavers in Pomona take intense summer sun, which fades color and dries out joint sand. A quality sealant can help with UV protection and joint stability. But sealing over a drainage problem locks moisture in and makes efflorescence worse. We recommend sealing only after the base and drainage are correct. Otherwise you are sealing in the problem. Call (833) 382-8544 to have us look at your specific patio or driveway.
