Tremron Construction in Fontana, CA | Mason Remodeling
We install and repair Tremron pavers across Fontana and Tremron in San Bernardino, and the work always comes back to one thing: what Fontana’s clay soil does underneath them. Most Tremron failures we see here aren’t the paver’s fault. They’re a base problem, and the fix is deeper excavation, geotextile, and proper compaction, not a surface patch. Mason Remodeling has worked on Tremron driveways and patios throughout Fontana since 2004, and we’re an independent Tremron service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate on your Tremron project.
Tremron sales & service is what we do, and Fontana’s soil and sun demand a different approach than a coastal city’s. Keep reading to see exactly what happens here and what it costs to fix.
Why Fontana Residents Choose Us for Tremron Service
We know Tremron profiles the way a finish carpenter knows trim. Our crew works with Old Towne Classic, Plaza Series, River Stone, and Stonehurst pavers every week, and that daily reps matter when you’re matching a 15-year-old color blend on a south Fontana driveway. We’re Fontana service area regulars, not a crew driving in from two counties over hoping the job goes smooth.
Isaac Pruett, our owner, grew up in the San Fernando Valley watching his finish-carpenter dad fix what the last guy did wrong, and he spent two decades remodeling homes across Los Angeles before building Mason Remodeling. He checks trim work on every project before he calls it done, and he applies the same standard to a paver edge. Know who’s coming, know what it costs, know it’s backed up, everything else is just noise. Every crew member is background-checked, identity-verified, and introduced by name and photo before they arrive at your Fontana home. That’s the Threshold Standard, and it’s never optional.

Common Tremron Construction Problems We Solve in Fontana
Here’s what we actually run into on Tremron jobs in Fontana, and why each one happens here specifically:
- White chalky stains on Old Towne Classic pavers. Fontana’s water is hard, mineral-heavy, and irrigation overspray leaves salt deposits that push through the paver surface. It looks like permanent staining until it’s treated with the right efflorescence cleaner and sealed, and it comes right back if you just power-wash it.
- Sunken driveways that pool at the garage door. Expansive clay soils shrink and swell with Fontana’s dry-to-flood winter cycles. When an original installer skipped geotextile fabric or didn’t compact the Class II base in lifts, the whole field settles, usually starting at the apron.
- Faded, pitted Plaza Series slabs. Fontana’s 100+ degree summer afternoons and intense inland sun age concrete pavers faster than coastal installs. UV exposure breaks down the surface layer, and you get pitting that holds dirt and looks rough in about half the time it takes in, say, Oxnard.
- Chipped and sheared edges at driveway aprons. Heavy vehicles crossing the street transition, plus root heave from mature ficus and pine trees in older Fontana tracts, put stress right where the paver meets the curb. Edges shear before the field fails.
- Wobbly or loose pavers across a patio. When edge restraints weren’t pinned properly or polymeric sand wasn’t swept and compacted correctly, Fontana’s freeze-thaw cycles (light as they are) and irrigation saturation work units loose within two seasons.
Tremron Service in Fontana: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Fontana sits on expansive clay, and that single fact changes how Tremron work has to be done here. Clay shrinks and swells with our dry-to-flood winter cycles, so Tremron paver installations in Fontana often need deeper base excavation and geogrid reinforcement than the manufacturer’s minimum spec, a step many out-of-area crews skip because they don’t know the soil, including some who do Tremron repair in Ontario. Driveways in the older south-side tracts near Sierra Avenue tend to heave at the street apron before they fail anywhere else. That’s not a guess. We’ve torn out enough of them to know the pattern.
On a 1960s ranch home off Sierra Avenue near Miller Park, we pulled out a sunken Tremron Old Towne Classic driveway that had heaved two inches at the apron and was holding standing water against the garage slab. We excavated 14 inches, laid geotextile over the clay, compacted new Class II base in lifts, and re-set the original pavers with fresh edge restraint and polymeric sand. The homeowner got back the full driveway width, and the ponding at the garage door stopped on the first rain. That job is what proper Fontana Tremron work looks like.
Tremron Models & Products We Service in Fontana
We stock genuine Tremron pavers from current production runs for color and thickness matching: Old Towne Classic, the tumbled concrete paver you see on older custom homes; Plaza Series, the smooth contemporary slab that shows every stain; River Stone, the linear textured paver that reads modern; and Stonehurst, the tumbled flagstone look that fades slightly different than the others. We use only compatible polymeric sand and edge restraints, never generic substitutes, because a mismatched joint sand color is the first thing you notice on a re-set driveway.
When a Tremron driveway or patio has more than 25 to 30 percent spalled or settled units with a failed base, we tell you honestly that a full re-lay with new base is money better spent than piecemeal replacement. OEM-compatible parts aren’t the question. The base is.

AfterTremron Service Pricing in Fontana

| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 – $11,000 |

| Driveway Replacement | $5,000 – $14,000 |
| Driveway Sealing | $250 – $700 |
What drives the cost is square footage, base depth (Fontana clay often needs more than 4 inches), access, and whether we’re salvaging existing pavers or starting fresh.

FAQs – Tremron Construction in Fontana
That’s efflorescence, salt deposits from Fontana’s mineral-heavy hard water that push through the paver surface and crystallize white when irrigation overspray hits them. It looks like permanent staining, but a proper efflorescence cleaner and a quality sealer stop it from coming back. Just power-washing it makes it worse. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll treat it properly, the estimate is free.
You can repair a sunken section if the base failure is localized, usually at the apron or along the edge where clay heave pushed things around. We’ll saw-cut the affected area, re-compact the base, and re-lay the pavers. If more than 25 to 30 percent of the driveway is settled or spalled, a full re-lay with new base costs less in the long run. We’ll tell you which one applies to your driveway, not which one pads the invoice.
Yes. We stock genuine Tremron pavers from current production runs and we match color, thickness, and profile, whether that’s Old Towne Classic, Plaza Series, River Stone, or Stonehurst. We don’t substitute another manufacturer’s paver and hope you won’t notice. The match is the job.
Deeper than Tremron’s minimum spec, because Fontana’s expansive clay moves. We typically excavate 12 to 14 inches, lay geotextile fabric, and compact Class II base in 4-inch lifts before setting the pavers. Skipping the geotextile is the most common reason Fontana driveways settle within three years. We don’t skip it.
For Fontana, Tremron pavers handle clay movement better than a single concrete slab because the joints flex instead of crack. But they cost more up front and need polymeric sand re-swept every few years. Concrete is cheaper and faster, but it cracks when the soil shifts. If you’re staying in the home long-term, pavers are usually the better call. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll walk through the numbers for your specific driveway.
