Tremron Construction in Highland, CA | Polaris Contractors
Polaris Contractors provides independent Tremron paver and retaining wall installation and repair across Highland, CA, and nearby communities including Tremron in San Bernardino. We’re not a manufacturer sales arm, so our recommendations are based on what actually holds up on Highland’s expansive clay and under its hot, dry foothill conditions, not what moves inventory. If you’re pricing a Tremron patio, driveway, or wall, call (855) 473-6535 for a free estimate that includes a base and drainage assessment.
Why Highland Residents Choose Us for Tremron Service
We’ve set and repaired Tremron hardscape products across the Inland Empire, including Tremron in Redlands, long enough to know how their pavers and wall systems behave under Highland’s specific conditions, not just how they look on a showroom pallet. As an independent contractor, we’re free to recommend the right base prep and joint strategy for your yard rather than pushing a manufacturer program. Rick Sondermann, our owner, spent the better part of three decades building and renovating homes in Southern California, and he learned early from his father, a finish carpenter, that doing it right the first time is the only approach that survives a Highland summer followed by a wet winter. That philosophy shapes every Tremron install we take on, from paver patios off Greenspot Road to driveways in the 92346 flats.
We work with genuine Tremron units when matching existing field or repairing a section, and pair them with quality aftermarket polymeric sand and edge restraints suited to clay-soil movement. We’ll tell you honestly when a re-sand and re-level will save a patio versus when the base has failed and the section needs to come up. That’s the conversation most Highland homeowners never get from a flatland crew.

Common Tremron Construction Problems We Solve in Highland
- Efflorescence on gray-toned Tremron pavers. Highland’s hard water and frequent irrigation overspray leave mineral deposits blooming white across Olde Towne and Capri surfaces. It’s cosmetic, not structural, but it looks bad. We clean it and adjust irrigation patterns so it doesn’t return.
- Polymeric sand washout after winter storms. Highland sees monsoon-style rain events that strip joint sand from driveways and patios, exposing edges to weed growth and paver shift. We re-joint with a polymer suited to clay-side drainage and re-compact the edges.
- Edge spalling and hairline cracking from thin base over clay. Highland’s expansive soil swells and heaves seasonally. When Tremron pavers were set on a shallow or poorly compacted base, the surface cracks and chips at the edges. We re-excavate, re-compact, and re-set so the movement stops translating upward.
- Stonewall II retaining wall settlement and face cracks. When backfilled without proper drainage against clay that stays saturated after Santa Ana-driven runoff, these block walls settle and crack. We rebuild with gravel drainage and weep lines so hydrostatic pressure doesn’t push the face out.
- Failed bases under paver driveways. A driveway in Highland carries real weight. If the base was never compacted for traffic, the pavers rut and separate. We pull the field, correct the base, and re-install so the surface stays flat.
Tremron Service in Highland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Highland’s foothill lots toward the San Bernardino National Forest sit on expansive clay that moves with seasonal moisture. A Tremron paver patio or driveway here lives or dies on base depth and drainage, not the surface product. We’ve watched flatland installs over shallow base heave and crack within a few seasons, which is why we also offer Tremron repair in Muscoy. That’s not a Tremron manufacturing issue; it’s a site preparation issue. The clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and if your base isn’t deep enough to bridge that movement, the pavers above it take the stress. We saw this exact problem at a home off the foothill edge in the 92346 area. A Tremron Olde Towne patio had settled and rocked, with polymeric joints washed out after a winter storm. We pulled the field, found the base had been laid thin over swelling clay, re-excavated and compacted proper base with drainage fall away from the house, then re-set the same Tremron units with fresh edge restraint and polymeric sand. The patio has held flat through two wet seasons since. That’s the standard we build to on every Highland project, because this soil doesn’t forgive shortcuts.
Tremron Models & Products We Service in Highland
We install and repair Tremron Olde Towne pavers, Renaissance pavers, Capri pavers, and Stonewall II retaining wall blocks. The Olde Towne line shows up constantly in Highland’s mid-century and 1980s homes, where original patios and walkways are now settling or losing joints. Renaissance and Capri are common choices for newer infill builds and driveway replacements in the 92346 area. We stock genuine Tremron units locally for matching repairs and keep aftermarket polymeric sand and edge restraint materials on hand for fast turnaround. When a section needs to come up, we’ll tell you whether matching is worthwhile or whether a full re-base in that section makes more sense than endless patching.

FAQs – Tremron Construction in Highland
Yes, if the base is built for that soil. Highland’s expansive clay moves with moisture, so the base depth, compaction, and drainage matter more than the paver itself. We over-excavate and re-compact on every install here so the surface doesn’t heave and crack. Call (855) 473-6535 for a site assessment, and we’ll tell you what your specific lot needs, whether you’re in Highland or need Tremron service in Loma Linda.
That’s efflorescence from hard water and irrigation overspray, combined with polymeric sand washout from winter storms. The white bloom is mineral deposits sitting on the surface; the joint loss is a drainage and edge-restraint issue. We clean the surface, fix the irrigation pattern, and re-joint with a polymer matched to your soil. Call (855) 473-6535 and we’ll take a look.
That depends on your lot’s location relative to the wildland-urban interface. Hardscape itself isn’t a fire-rated building component, but if your project includes re-siding, roofing, or vent work near the foothill edge, Chapter 7A ember-resistant requirements can apply. We coordinate that scope so your hardscape doesn’t hold up a fire-hardening re-side or re-roof.
We can, depending on the line and age. Tremron Olde Towne and Capri units are still produced, so color and dimension matching is usually straightforward. If your pavers have weathered significantly, we’ll show you samples against your field before we commit. Call (855) 473-6535 and we’ll match and quote the repair.
Most full driveway replacement projects in Highland run one to two weeks, depending on whether we’re re-excavating a failed base or installing new over fresh ground. Repairs and re-sands can be finished in a day or two. Call (855) 473-6535 and we’ll give you a schedule with the quote.
