Tremron Construction in Redlands, CA | Polaris Contractors
We’re Polaris Contractors, and we install and repair Tremron pavers, retaining walls, and hardscape systems throughout Redlands, CA and nearby areas like Tremron service in Mentone. We’re an independent Tremron service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, and we work with Tremron products because they hold up in the Inland Empire’s heat when the base is done right. If you’re dealing with a cracked paver driveway, a leaning retaining wall, or patio pavers covered in white chalky streaks, call us at (855) 473-6535 and we’ll tell you exactly what’s going on.
Why Redlands Residents Choose Us for Tremron Service
We’ve set Tremron pavers and wall block across Redlands long enough to know what fails before it fails. The difference with Tremron isn’t the concrete, it’s the base. Rick Sondermann, our owner, spent years working the Orange County coast before bringing Polaris Contractors into the Inland Empire, and the first thing he’ll tell you about Redlands hardscaping — or Tremron repair in Loma Linda — is that the soil moves. Older citrus-belt lots near downtown Redlands were graded decades ago for orchards, not drainage. Newer hillside tracts toward the Crafton Hills have compacted fill and serious slope. Both eat poorly built paver bases alive.
We pull Tremron units through authorized dealers so color lots and thicknesses match your existing hardscape, and we use proper Class II aggregate, geogrid where needed, and polymeric joint sand. Not one of those things gets skipped because the client can’t see it after the job’s done. When you hire us for Tremron sales & service, you get a crew that treats your driveway like it’s our own front walk.

Common Tremron Construction Problems We Solve in Redlands
- White powdery streaks on pavers (efflorescence). This shows up on older Redlands lots where original grading sends runoff toward the house. Water moves through the paver itself, picks up salts from the concrete and base aggregate, and deposits them on the surface as it evaporates. The fix is usually drainage correction plus re-setting with clean aggregate, not just sealing over the stain.
- Rutting, loose units, and spalling on driveways. A driveway that looked fine in May is sagging by September. Redlands summers hit triple digits, the subgrade dries and shrinks, winter rain re-expands it, and any base that wasn’t compacted to spec starts to move. We lift the field, recompact properly, and reset units rather than patching a single sunken spot.
- Leaning or bulging Tremron Chesapeake retaining walls. On hillside properties toward the Crafton Hills and the San Bernardino National Forest foothills, we routinely find walls built without geogrid or drainage aggregate. The wall face looks fine for a few years, then starts pushing out. This is a structural repair, not a cosmetic one, and it’s one of the more serious issues we take over from failed DIY and under-spec’d contractor jobs.
- Joint sand washout and weeds between patio pavers. The dry Santa Ana season tempts people into installing polymeric sand when it’s too hot or too dry, and it doesn’t cure properly. Then winter rain flushes it out, and by spring you’ve got a weed bed between your Tremron units. We re-sand when conditions are right, not when the calendar says go.
- Cracked or chipped units on otherwise sound paver fields. We’d rather lift and reset a handful of damaged Tremron pavers than tear out a whole patio. As long as the base is intact and the replacement units come from a matching color lot, your hardscape stays whole and your budget stays sane.
Tremron Service in Redlands: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Redlands sits in a specific geographic pocket that flat, interior Inland Empire cities don’t share. The city’s east edge pushes against the Crafton Hills and the San Bernardino National Forest foothills, and properties out there fall into the wildland-urban interface, or WUI. That means defensible-space requirements, ember-resistant construction expectations, and a real incentive to replace combustible surfaces, like mulch beds and wood decks right against the house, with noncombustible hardscape. Concrete paver driveways, patios, and walkways made from Tremron units suddenly become a code-conscious choice, not just an aesthetic one. On a hillside property off the east side toward the Crafton Hills, we replaced a rutted, weed-choked gravel drive with a Tremron Old World paver driveway. We excavated to a compacted Class II base, set edge restraints, and swept in polymeric joint sand so runoff sheds away from the house and embers have no fuel bed against the foundation. The homeowner wanted that WUI-friendly hardscape without losing the warm, tumbled tone that fits the citrus-belt character of the neighborhood. That’s the Redlands-specific problem other paver pages never get to.
Tremron Models & Products We Service in Redlands
We install and repair the full Tremron outdoor-living line: the tumbled Old World Paver in standard 60mm and 80mm thicknesses, the large-format Mega Olde Towne Paver for bigger driveway fields, the Chesapeake Wall Block for segmental retaining walls, and the Flagstone-style patio and Supreme series for walkways and pool decks. When we need replacement units on a Redlands job, we source through authorized dealers so the thickness and color lot match what’s already in the ground. For common Redlands repairs, we keep standard aggregate, geogrid, and polymeric sand on hand, and we can pull Tremron units quickly through our local dealer network. If your paver field is sound but three units are chipped from a dropped landscape block, we won’t sell you a new patio. We’ll lift, reset, and match.

FAQs – Tremron Construction in Redlands
Yes. Hillside lots toward the Crafton Hills almost always require a deeper compacted base, plus geogrid reinforcement on retaining-wall applications where the slope is steeper than 3:1. The native soil is often a mix of decomposed granite and fill that drains unevenly, so we typically excavate deeper and add drainage aggregate behind any wall structure to prevent hydrostatic pressure and frost heave damage. On flat Redlands lots near downtown, standard compaction often works, but we verify soil conditions before we quote either way. Call (855) 473-6535 if you’re on a slope and want us to assess your specific grade.
The Tremron Old World Paver in a muted earth tone handles it best. Older Redlands neighborhoods near downtown have that soft, weathered citrus-belt aesthetic, and the tumbled Old World profile reads like something that’s been there since the orange groves. For larger driveways on newer east-side homes, the Mega Olde Towne gives a cleaner, bigger footprint with less joint line. We’ll bring physical samples to your Redlands home so you can see color in your actual light, not a brochure photo.
That’s efflorescence, and in Redlands it usually means water is moving through your pavers and evaporating at the surface, leaving salt deposits behind. The root cause on many Redlands properties is original grading that sends runoff toward the house instead of away from it, so water sits under the paver field. The real fix is correcting the drainage and resetting affected pavers over clean base material, then managing moisture so it doesn’t recur. Sealing alone just makes the streaks shiny. Call (855) 473-6535 for an exact diagnosis and a quote to fix the drainage underneath.
Yes, if it’s built correctly. Tremron Chesapeake Wall Block is a segmental retaining wall system designed for structural loads, but slope failures happen when the wall is stacked without geogrid, without drainage aggregate behind it, or without a compacted leveling pad. On Redlands foothill lots with real grade, those three components are non-negotiable. If your wall is leaning, bulging, or cracking at the joints, we’ll excavate behind it, assess what’s missing, and rebuild to spec. This is a repair you don’t want to put off, because once a wall starts moving, it doesn’t stop on its own.
Yes. Concrete paver hardscape gives embers nothing to ignite, unlike mulch beds, wood decks, or dried-out shrubs directly against the foundation. Redlands properties in the WUI zones near the Crafton Hills and national forest foothills benefit from replacing those combustible surfaces with Tremron paver driveways, patios, and walkways that create defensible space and still look intentional. We’ve done this exact conversion on multiple hillside properties in Redlands. For a quote on your specific lot, call (855) 473-6535.
