Belgard Construction in Broadmoor, CA | Gold Star Contractors
We’re an independent Belgard installer serving Broadmoor, and we also offer Belgard repair in Colma, building paver patios, driveways, and retaining walls that hold up to the marine layer that sits over this town most of the year. The short answer: yes, we install and service Belgard hardscape throughout Broadmoor, from Mega-Arbel driveways to Weston Stone walls, and we’re upfront that we’re not a Belgard dealer or authorized contractor. What makes our work different here is what’s under the pavers: Broadmoor’s post-war lots and damp, slow-draining soil demand base prep and drainage that flat-lot contractors never think about. Call (833) 382-8544 to talk through your project, or scroll down for the details.
Why Broadmoor Residents Choose Us for Belgard Service
Gold Star Contractors handles Belgard sales & service work the way we handle every other system on a home: we specify the brand, manage the install, and stand behind the result. Noel Carranza, our owner, grew up around Orange County rehabs and spent his twenties doing concrete and finish carpentry before settling into general contracting. That background matters when a crew is digging out a Broadmoor driveway that’s been sitting on a few inches of sand over damp clay for sixty years. One call, done right, that’s the only way we know how to run a job.
Most Broadmoor homes were built right after WWII, and the lots were graded before modern storm drainage existed. That means every new Belgard patio or driveway we install has to be planned as a drainage system first and a surface second. Homeowners who call us aren’t just looking for pavers; they’re looking for someone who understands why their old concrete heaved, why their joints washed out, and what the fog does to unsealed stone.

Common Belgard Construction Problems We Solve in Broadmoor
Here’s what we see most often when we get called out to Broadmoor properties:
- Efflorescence and salt-laden fog film on dark Belgard pavers. Mega-Arbel and Catalina Grana units look sharp in catalog photos, but in Broadmoor the fog leaves a chalky white film on unsealed joints and dense paver faces. When drainage is marginal, that film turns worse. We clean, re-sand, and seal properly so the color shows through and the film stays gone.
- Paver heave and joint sand washout from shallow bases. Broadmoor’s soil is damp and slow-draining, and a lot of old post-war installs sit on just a couple inches of sand. The first wet winter, the pavers move. We excavate to proper depth, install compacted aggregate, and re-set the units so they don’t drift.
- Moss and algae in shaded paver joints and Weston Stone wall faces. North-facing yards and fog-trapped corners stay damp nearly all year. Moss takes root in joints that never see sun. We address this with drainage and joint material selection, not just a surface scrub.
- Edge restraint failure and outward spread on driveways. Original Broadmoor soil wasn’t recompacted after the war. We see driveway pavers spreading where the edge restraint failed. A proper rebuild fixes the edge and the base, not just the surface.
- Runoff pooling against original stucco foundations. New paver surfaces change how water moves across a lot, and when it pools against an original stucco foundation, you get moisture intrusion. Our crews pitch the surface to drain before the first paver goes down.
Belgard Service in Broadmoor: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Broadmoor’s lots were graded and built out post-WWII before modern storm drainage, so runoff from a new Belgard paver driveway or patio often has nowhere to go but a neighbor’s lot or the original stucco foundation. We design surface pitch and drainage into the base before any pavers go down, a step fresh-infill cities never force. On a Catalina Grana paver driveway replacement off the Broadmoor hillside tracts, our crew pulled up heaved pavers and found the original base was only a few inches of sand over damp clay. We excavated to proper depth, added compacted aggregate base with geogrid and a pitched drain to daylight, reset the Belgard units, and sealed the joints. The driveway has stayed flat through two fog seasons since. That’s the difference between installing pavers in Broadmoor and installing them in a place where the ground drains on its own.
Belgard Models & Products We Service in Broadmoor
We work with genuine Belgard units to keep color and family consistency, including Mega-Arbel pavers, Catalina Grana pavers, Weston Stone retaining wall systems, and Dimensions slab pavers. When we’re stocking materials for Broadmoor jobs, we spec quality aftermarket base aggregate, polymeric joint sand, geogrid, and edge restraint, because those hidden components drive longevity more than the paver itself. We’ll honestly tell you when a fog-stained Belgard patio can be cleaned and re-sanded versus when the base is failing and the surface has to come up. No manufacturer badge required to know the difference.

FAQs – Belgard Construction in Broadmoor
We plan paver and wall work around two realities: the marine layer and the soil below it. Broadmoor’s ground holds moisture, so we compact in layers and avoid open excavations sitting wet overnight. Some surface sealing needs a dry window, and we schedule that during the late summer and early fall when Broadmoor actually gets a few dry days in a row. Call (833) 382-8544 and we’ll give you a schedule based on your specific yard orientation and drainage.
No. Gold Star Contractors is an independent installer. We’re not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized by Belgard, and we don’t pretend otherwise. Our familiarity with Belgard product lines comes from installing them across Broadmoor and learning what works in this specific climate, not from a manufacturer badge. We install genuine Belgard units because they’re good pavers, and we pair them with aftermarket base materials we trust.
The paver itself is the visible surface, and we use genuine Belgard units so your patio or driveway stays color-consistent and true to the family. The hidden components, base aggregate, polymeric sand, geogrid, edge restraint, are where we make independent choices based on what survives Broadmoor’s damp soil and fog. Those aftermarket parts drive longevity more than the paver itself, and we’ll tell you exactly what we’re using and why.
We install and service the Belgard lines most common in Broadmoor’s post-war lots, including Mega-Arbel, Catalina Grana, Weston Stone, and Dimensions slab pavers. If you have something else, we’ll take a look and tell you honestly whether it’s a match for our crews. Call (833) 382-8544 and describe what you’ve got.
Depends on whether the stain is surface-level or the base has shifted. A clean, re-sand, and seal job usually lands in the lower end of our paver patio range, around $3,500 to $5,000 for a typical Broadmoor yard. If the base is failing and pavers have to come up and go back down, you’re looking at a full patio replacement price. Call (833) 382-8544 for an exact quote; we’ll look at drainage and base condition before we give you a number.
