Transform Your Backyard with Unilock TREO™ SMOOTH Pavers

Why Hardscaping Matters

Imagine stepping into your backyard and seeing a beautifully designed patio, a sleek walkway leading to your garden, or a driveway that boosts your home’s curb appeal. That’s the magic of hardscaping—bringing structure, style, and functionality to outdoor spaces. A well-designed hardscape not only makes your yard more enjoyable but also adds long-term value to your home.

If you’re looking for a durable, stylish, and easy-to-maintain paver to upgrade your outdoor space, let’s talk about Unilock TREO™ SMOOTH—a homeowner’s dream for modern, elegant, and long-lasting hardscaping.


What is Unilock TREO™ SMOOTH?

TREO™ SMOOTH is a versatile paver designed to deliver a sleek, contemporary look to patios, walkways, driveways, and more. It offers the same timeless beauty and durability as Unilock’s popular Beacon Hill Smooth but in a smaller format, making it perfect for compact spaces.

Think of it like a high-end tile but for your outdoor spaces—it’s smooth, strong, and comes in a modern color palette that blends beautifully with any landscape design.


Where Can You Use TREO™ SMOOTH?

Here are some practical ways to incorporate TREO™ SMOOTH into your backyard:

  • Patios: Create a cozy outdoor living space for family gatherings or morning coffee.
  • Walkways: Lay a stylish path leading from your front yard to your backyard or garden.
  • Driveways: Upgrade your curb appeal with a smooth and polished surface that stands up to daily wear and tear.
  • Pool Decks: The paver’s surface is comfortable underfoot, making it ideal for poolside lounging.

Imagine hosting a summer BBQ on your new patio or walking barefoot on a smooth, stylish pathway that guides you through your garden—TREO™ SMOOTH makes these everyday moments feel even more special.


Technical Information (What You Need to Know)

Colors

TREO™ SMOOTH comes in a modern and contemporary color palette. One standout option is:

  • Sierra – A warm blend of earthy tones that complements natural landscapes.

Shape & Size

The pavers come in a random bundle, which means you get a mix of different sizes to create a natural, flowing look:

  • Large Rectangle: 8 7/8″ x 13 3/8″ x 2 3/8″
  • Square: 8 7/8″ x 8 7/8″ x 2 3/8″
  • Small Rectangle: 4 1/2″ x 8 7/8″ x 2 3/8″

(To put it in perspective, the large rectangle is about the size of a laptop, the square is similar to a small stepping stone, and the small rectangle is about the size of a standard brick.)

Technologies

  • EnduraColor – Ensures long-lasting color and wear resistance, keeping your pavers looking new for years.

Applications

TREO™ SMOOTH is suitable for:

  • Driveways
  • Patios & Walkways

Installation Guide: How to Lay TREO™ SMOOTH

Whether you’re a DIYer or hiring a contractor, here’s a step-by-step guide to installing your new hardscape:

  1. Plan Your Design: Decide on the layout and measure your space.
  2. Prepare the Base: Dig 6”–8” deep for standard applications or up to 10” for driveways.
  3. Lay a Stabilization Grid (Optional): For extra durability, place a DriveGrid™ stabilization layer.
  4. Add a Base Layer: Use ¾” crusher run gravel, compacting it for stability.
  5. Spread the Bedding Layer: Apply 1” of coarse sand or chip stone and level it.
  6. Lay the Pavers: Place them according to your pattern, keeping joint spaces consistent.
  7. Secure the Edges: Install an edge restraint to prevent shifting.
  8. Fill the Joints: Use polymeric sand for strong, long-lasting joints.
  9. Compact the Surface: Use a compactor with a protective pad for a firm set.
  10. Seal (Optional): Apply a sealer for added protection and easier maintenance.

Pro Tip: If you’re tackling a large project or a driveway, consider hiring a professional for a seamless finish.
