Tremron Construction in Pomona, CA | San Bruno Construction
We’re an independent contractor serving Pomona, CA, installing and repairing Tremron hardscape, and we’ve learned the product’s real behavior on aging slabs, expansive clay, and ADU conversion sites rather than from a showroom brochure. If you’re dealing with shifting pavers, washed-out joint sand, or a failing retaining wall on a Pomona property, call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll tell you what’s actually happening under the surface.
Why Pomona Residents Choose Us for Tremron Service
Tremron pavers and wall block are built in Florida for tough conditions, but Pomona’s inland heat, Santa Ana wind-driven rain, and expansive clay soils test them in ways a coastal install never will. We’ve pulled up enough failing paver fields in the 91766, 91767, and 91768 ZIPs to know that the problem is almost never the paver itself. It’s the base underneath, the edge restraint, or the drainage that was never accounted for. Noel Carvalho, our owner, grew up off El Camino Real in San Bruno and trained in construction technology at Skyline College, so he reads a site the way a framing contractor does: load paths, water movement, and what the soil will do in five years. That’s the lens we bring to Tremron in La Verne and every Tremron job in Pomona.

Common Tremron Construction Problems We Solve in Pomona
- Joint-sand washout and paver shifting over old citrus-era slabs. Pomona’s early-1900s bungalows near downtown and Lincoln Park often have thin original flatwork that was never designed as a paver base. When a Tremron field goes directly on top, the first hard rain pushes joint sand out and the pavers start to wander.
- Efflorescence and edge-restraint corrosion from sun-baked summers and Santa Ana rain. Driveways in the 91767 tracts hit 95°F-plus all summer, then take wind-driven rain in the fall. Steel edging set too low in poorly drained soil corrodes, and the white mineral staining spreads across the surface.
- Heaving and pattern creep on expansive clay. The 1950s-1970s stucco tracts in 91766 and 91767 sit on clay that swells and shrinks with the seasons. If the base depth and compaction don’t account for that movement, paver fields rut, heave, and the pattern walks downhill over a couple of years.
- StoneHurst wall face spalling and geogrid omission. On Pomona’s sloped foothill-edge lots, retaining walls need drainage behind the block and proper reinforcement. When a contractor skips the geogrid or doesn’t address water, the wall face starts spalling and leaning.
- Paver apron failure after garage-to-ADU conversions. This is the Pomona-specific one we see constantly now. The old garage slab gets torn out or re-poured with seismic tie-downs, and the paver driveway that ties into it wasn’t sequenced for the new foundation. The apron settles, the joint sand washes out, and water runs toward the ADU instead of away from it.
Tremron Service in Pomona: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Pomona’s legalized-ADU wave has turned thousands of detached 1950s garages into permitted living space, and that changes how Tremron hardscape has to be built here. When a garage becomes an ADU, the old apron and slab usually get torn out, the foundation gets re-poured with seismic tie-downs under California’s Zone D requirements, and only then does the new paver driveway or walkway go in. Most paver crews sequence that wrong. They treat the paver base as a separate job, pour it against the new stem wall, and then watch the joint sand wash out at the transition line during the first Santa Ana rain. We plan the paver base and the foundation as one continuous assembly, so runoff moves away from the ADU and the edge restraint ties into the new slab instead of floating next to it. On a Lincoln Park-area bungalow where the owner was converting a detached garage into an ADU, pulling the permit exposed a garage slab poured without a footing, so we watched the foundation get re-poured and tied down before we could touch the driveway. Once the new stem wall cured, we laid a Tremron Olde Towne driveway on a rebuilt compacted base with proper edge restraint and free-draining joint sand, tying the paver apron to the new slab so runoff moved away from the ADU instead of under it. The result held through the next Santa Ana wind-and-rain cycle without the washout we routinely see on un-rebased aprons. That’s the difference between knowing Tremron as a product and knowing how it behaves on Pomona soil. We handle Tremron sales & service with that site-first approach on every job we take.

AfterTremron Models & Products We Service in Pomona
We install and repair the full Tremron lineup, offering Tremron service in Claremont and throughout Pomona’s housing stock and climate. Olde Towne pavers are the workhorse for driveways and walkways on mid-century tract lots. Mega Olde Towne assemblies handle permeable applications where drainage matters, which is nearly every foothill-edge property. Capri pavers work well for patios and pool decks where a tighter joint pattern is wanted. StoneHurst wall block handles retaining walls on sloped lots when the drainage and geogrid are done correctly. We use Tremron’s own matching units, edge restraints, and joint sand so the assembly performs as designed. We only substitute equivalent-grade base and geogrid materials where the site actually demands it. If your existing pavers or wall block are structurally sound, we re-base, re-sand, and re-restrain rather than tear out and replace. Replacement is only the right call when the units themselves are cracked, spalled, or discontinued. And we carry what Pomona jobs need locally, so turnaround doesn’t lag waiting on a distributor.
Tremron Service Pricing in Pomona
Most Tremron work in Pomona falls into one of four buckets. A full paver driveway installation runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on demo, base depth, and drainage work. A paver patio typically lands between $3,500 and $11,000. Removing and replacing an existing driveway runs $5,000 to $14,000. Sealing and re-sanding an existing paver surface costs $250 to $700. The biggest cost drivers in Pomona are clay-soil base depth, what’s hiding under the old slab, and whether Santa Ana drainage correction is needed at the edges. Every estimate we give is based on what we find on-site, not a square-foot multiplier. Here’s what that looks like line by line:
| Service | Typical Range in Pomona |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 – $18,000 |
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 – $11,000 |
| Driveway Replacement | $5,000 – $14,000 |
| Driveway Sealing | $250 – $700 |

FAQs – Tremron Construction in Pomona
No. In most Pomona ADU conversions, the original slab was poured without a proper footing, and once the permit is pulled, the city requires a re-pour with seismic tie-downs under Zone D. The paver driveway then has to tie into that new foundation, not sit on the old flatwork. We sequence the two together so the apron drains away from the ADU and the edge restraint locks into the new slab. Call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll walk the site before the concrete crew is even scheduled.
Because the base underneath wasn’t built for Pomona clay. The 91766 and 91767 tracts sit on expansive soil that swells with rain and shrinks in the summer heat. If the base depth and compaction don’t account for that movement, the pavers shift and the joint sand washes out with the first hard rain. The fix is re-basing with proper depth and compaction, then re-sanding with Tremron’s joint sand and setting the edge restraint at the right height for drainage. Call (866) 472-1908 for an exact assessment – estimates are free.
They need to work with it. Tremron pavers themselves are non-combustible concrete, but the zones adjacent to the foothills have defensible-space and moisture-management requirements that change how you detail the edges and what you plant around the hardscape. We build paver patios and walkways so they don’t trap embers or channel water toward the structure, which matters when wildfire season hits and the Santa Anas are blowing. Permeable Mega Olde Towne assemblies also help with the runoff rules on sloped foothill-edge lots.
StoneHurst wall block is our standard for Pomona retaining walls, but the block is only half the job. Behind the wall you need clean drainage aggregate, a properly placed drain pipe, and geogrid reinforcement every few courses when the wall is retaining more than a couple of feet of soil. We’ve repaired too many StoneHurst walls where the face spalled because the contractor skipped the drainage and the water pressure pushed the wall apart from behind. Call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll tell you if your wall can be repaired or needs to be rebuilt.
If the pavers themselves are structurally sound, not cracked, spalled, or discontinued, re-basing and re-sanding is almost always the better call. You save thousands over replacement and the rebuilt base is what actually determines how the field performs. Replacement only makes sense when the units have failed or you’re changing the pattern entirely. We’ll tell you the truth after we lift a few pavers and see what’s underneath.
