Tremron Construction in Highland, CA | Elmwood Contractors
Tremron paver and retaining wall construction in Highland comes down to one thing: the base and drainage plan has to match the lot. We install and repair Tremron hardscape across Highland’s flat valley subdivisions and sloped foothill parcels, and the site conditions on one street can be completely different from the next block over. If you’re pricing a Tremron paver driveway, patio, or Stonewall retaining wall in Highland, call (866) 253-8554 and we’ll give you a straight answer on what your specific lot needs.
As an independent Tremron installation contractor, we’re not tied to a manufacturer’s warranty quota or sales target. Our only obligation is getting the base, drainage, and paver system right for Highland’s mix of flat lots and graded pads. Learn more about our Tremron sales & service approach, or keep reading to see how we handle the hardscape challenges specific to this city.
Why Highland Residents Choose Us for Tremron Service
We know Tremron products because we work with them daily. Olde Towne pavers, Mega Olde Towne pavers, Capri pavers, the Stonewall retaining wall system: we’ve installed, repaired, and reset every one of these across Inland Empire heat cycles and winter storm runoff, from Tremron in San Bernardino to Highland itself. When a Tremron wall bulges or a paver edge ravels, we already know what happened underground before we lift the first block.
Nolan Shepherd, our owner, grew up in Fullerton’s Sunny Hills neighborhood where half the houses were built in the late ’60s. By the time he was a teenager, he could tell which ones would have foundation problems. That early read on how Southern California soil and grading interacts with what sits on top of it carries straight into the Tremron work we do in Highland today. The right material in the right place. Everything else is just catching up to that decision.
We’re local to Highland’s service area, we stock genuine Tremron pavers and wall blocks for color-matched replacements, and we pull permits when a wall height or site condition requires it. No runaround, no vague answers about why your paver system failed.

Common Tremron Construction Problems We Solve in Highland
- Efflorescence and salt bloom after winter rain. When runoff gets directed across a paver surface instead of away from the base, the moisture wicks up and leaves white mineral deposits behind. We see this all over Highland after the short winter rain window, especially on patios and walkways where the original install skipped proper drainage planning.
- Edge raveling and base settlement on valley-side driveways. The expansive clay soils common under Highland’s flat subdivisions pump with summer heat and winter moisture. Driveway edges start to crumble and pavers sink when the base wasn’t compacted for that specific subgrade movement.
- Retaining wall block shifting or bulging on graded foothill pads. Toward the Crafton Hills, hydrostatic pressure builds behind walls that lack weep holes and gravel backfill. The wall doesn’t fail because the Tremron blocks are bad – it fails because water has nowhere to go. We rebuild these properly.
- Surface spalling and color fade from heat and Santa Ana winds. Triple-digit summer afternoons combined with wind-driven dust and debris will wear down older Tremron pavers faster than a cooler coastal site would. We match replacements to the existing color and profile, then address the base so the new pavers don’t inherit the old problem.
- Undocumented drainage on older foothill parcels. Homes built during Highland’s unincorporated era often have graded pads with no record of how water was supposed to move. When a new Tremron paver system goes down without a site-specific drainage plan, water pools, base washes out, and everything shifts within a season or two.
Tremron Service in Highland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Hardscape
Here’s the thing about Highland that doesn’t show up on a generic hardscape estimate: older unincorporated-era homes and newer east-side subdivisions near the 210 sit within blocks of each other, but the ground under them behaves completely differently. The flat valley lots have expansive clay that swells and shrinks with moisture. The elevated streets toward the Crafton Hills sit on graded pads with slopes, undocumented drainage, and real erosion risk during winter storms. A Tremron paver driveway installed one way on a flat Highland tract lot will not survive the same way on a foothill parcel a few streets up, which is why we also handle Tremron service in Loma Linda with the same site-specific approach. The base depth changes, the drainage plan changes, sometimes the paver choice changes. If a contractor quotes you one number without asking whether your lot slopes toward the hills or sits flat near the valley floor, they haven’t looked at your site.
We learned this the hard way on a sloped lot off the elevated streets near the Crafton Hills foothills in Highland. A failing Tremron Stonewall retaining wall had bulged after winter runoff because the original install lacked gravel backfill and weep holes. We rebuilt the base with compacted aggregate, added drainage stone and outlet pipes, reinstated the wall with matching Tremron blocks, and tied a new Olde Towne paver walkway into the regraded pad. Stormwater now sheds away from the house instead of pooling behind the wall. That fix worked because we treated the drainage as the project, not an afterthought.
Tremron Models & Products We Service in Highland
We install and repair the full Tremron lineup that makes sense for Southern California residential work: Olde Towne Pavers, Mega Olde Towne Pavers, Capri Pavers, and the Stonewall Retaining Wall System. For replacements, we use genuine Tremron pavers and wall blocks to match existing color, dimension, and profile. When it comes to base materials, geotextiles, and polymeric joint sand, we spec aftermarket products where they outperform what’s bundled. That’s not brand loyalty – that’s knowing what holds up under Highland’s heat and storm cycles. When existing Tremron hardscape is sound but the base or drainage is failing, we repair and reset rather than pushing a full tear-out. It saves you money and keeps matching pavers in place.

AfterTremron Service Pricing in Highland
Tremron installation and repair costs in Highland depend on site access, slope, drainage requirements, and how much of the existing base needs rebuilding. Here’s what we quote across Highland:
| Service | Typical Highland Range |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 – $18,000 |
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 – $11,000 |
| Driveway Replacement | $5,000 – $14,000 |
| Driveway Sealing | $250 – $700 |
A sloped foothill lot with drainage corrections will land on the upper end of any of these ranges because the base work is more involved. A flat valley lot with good access may come in lower. Every estimate includes a site walk, a drainage assessment, and a written line-item quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work starts. Call (866) 253-8554 to schedule your free estimate.

FAQs – Tremron Construction in Highland
Yes, and they perform well there, but only when the base and drainage are engineered for slope. We regrade, add drainage stone and outlet pipes, and compact in lifts before a single Tremron paver goes down. A flat-lot installation method on a sloped Highland foothill pad will fail within a season or two. Call (866) 253-8554 and we’ll walk your site before quoting anything.
That’s efflorescence, a salt bloom that appears when moisture wicks through the paver and evaporates on the surface. In Highland it’s almost always tied to drainage: runoff moving across the paver surface instead of away from the base. We correct the drainage path, clean the affected area, and re-sand the joints so moisture stops traveling through the pavers.
Most Tremron paver driveways in Highland run $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, site access, and whether we’re rebuilding a failed base or starting fresh. Sloped foothill lots toward the Crafton Hills tend to land higher because drainage and retaining work gets added, similar to the Tremron repair in Muscoy we handle. Call (866) 253-8554 for an exact quote after a free site walk.
It depends on wall height, proximity to property lines, and whether the wall is supporting a slope or surcharge. Highland requires permits for retaining walls over a certain height, and some foothill sites need engineered plans. We coordinate permits and engineering when the site requires it, and we’ll tell you upfront whether your project falls into that category.
Yes. We use genuine Tremron pavers to match color, dimension, and profile, then assess why that section failed before resetting anything. If the base under the failed area is compromised, we rebuild just that section properly. You don’t need to tear out the whole driveway unless the base failure is widespread.
