Tremron Construction in Los Serranos, CA | Elmwood Contractors
We’re an independent contractor that installs and repairs Tremron hardscape across Los Serranos and Montclair Tremron repair, and the work here is different because of one thing: hillside drainage. Most Tremron paver and wall failures we see in the 91709 area trace back to water movement on slopes, not the product itself. If you’re planning a paver driveway, patio, or retaining wall in Los Serranos, call (866) 253-8554 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk the site before we ever quote a number.
Why Los Serranos Residents Choose Us for Tremron Service
We’ve worked with Tremron units long enough to know which lines hold up on a hot, dry foothill lot and which ones need extra base work before they’ll survive a Santa Ana-driven downpour. Nolan Shepherd founded Elmwood Contractors and grew up in Fullerton’s Sunny Hills, where he learned early that the difference between a lasting hardscape and a callback is what’s underneath the surface. That’s the lens we bring to every Los Serranos job: Tremron sales & service that starts with drainage and compaction, not with the pretty paver on top.
We’re not authorized or sponsored by Tremron. We’re independent, which means our recommendation process is simple: we spec Tremron when it fits the site, and we tell you honestly when a different product would serve you better. Homeowners in Los Serranos call us because we name the materials before the contract is signed and we stand behind the install.

Common Tremron Construction Problems We Solve in Los Serranos
- Efflorescence and salt bloom on pavers. Hillside runoff wicks through an under-built base after winter storms and keeps the units saturated. The white chalky deposit that follows isn’t a product defect; it’s moisture moving through the paver. We fix the drainage first, then clean and seal.
- Heaving and settling on slope-adjacent driveways. Off Los Serranos Country Club, we regularly see pavers that have shifted because the base wasn’t engineered for wind-driven rain events. The water gets under the bedding course, the fines wash out, and the surface dips. Rebuilding the base with proper aggregate and compaction solves it.
- Spalling and edge chipping on Old Town pavers. Deicing salts and aggressive pressure washing on shaded, slow-drying north-facing patios chew up paver faces fast. We see this a lot on the canyon-side streets where morning shade lingers. Gentle cleaning and a good sealer stop the damage.
- Retaining wall block rotation on Highland walls. When a Highland wall was originally built without geogrid and gravel backfill, the block rotates and joints open as soil creep continues on canyon-edge lots. We re-back the wall properly and re-set the units, and the wall stops moving.
- Color mismatch on repairs and additions. If you’re extending a patio or rebuilding a section of driveway, matching existing Tremron pavers matters. We source genuine units from the same product line so thickness and color stay consistent, not close enough.
Tremron Service in Los Serranos: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the part that doesn’t apply to flatland Chino Tremron service or Ontario: Los Serranos sits at the foothill edge where Chino Hills grading and hillside ordinances are actively enforced. A Tremron paver or wall install here needs engineered drainage and slope-stability documentation that a flat lot job never triggers. The city wants to know where the water goes, how the base is built, and whether the wall is engineered for the slope. That’s not bureaucracy for its own sake. It’s because the hillside streets off Los Serranos Country Club and Carbon Canyon see winter storm runoff that moves soil, undermines bases, and cracks walls over time. For a Tremron owner, that means a paver driveway or retaining wall is only as good as the drainage plan behind it. We’ve pulled permits and passed inspections on these hillside jobs enough times to know exactly what the city reviewers look for, and we build to that standard from the first day.
Tremron Models & Products We Service in Los Serranos
We work across the Tremron line that’s most common in Los Serranos: Old Town and Mega Old Town pavers for driveways and patios, Highland retaining wall block for slope retention, and the Bellissimo and Treviso series for higher-end paver patios and walkways. When a repair calls for matching units, we source genuine Tremron pieces so color and thickness line up with the existing field. For everything underneath, we use quality aftermarket geogrid, polymeric sand, and base aggregate where they outperform without changing the look of your hardscape. The right material in the right place. Everything else is just catching up to that decision.

FAQs – Tremron Construction in Los Serranos
Yes, when the base and drainage are built for the slope. The pavers themselves handle grade fine; what fails on hillside driveways is the base washing out underneath. On a sloped lot, we over-excavate, compact in lifts, and install a channel drain where runoff would otherwise pool against the garage slab. That’s the difference between a driveway that lasts 20 years and one that heaves in two. Call (866) 253-8554 for a site walk and an exact quote.
The most common cause in Los Serranos is water behind the wall. When backfill wasn’t done with gravel and a geogrid, winter storms saturate the soil, pressure builds, and the wall block rotates. We fix the drainage first, re-back the wall properly, and then re-set the units. Replacing the block without fixing the water is throwing money at the wrong problem. Call us at (866) 253-8554 and we’ll assess what your wall actually needs.
Yes. We source genuine Tremron units from the same product line you already have, so color and thickness match the existing field. That matters more than most homeowners realize: different production runs vary, and a close-enough match looks wrong the moment you notice it. We’ve matched Old Town, Mega Old Town, Bellissimo, and Treviso on Los Serranos jobs before.
Usually yes, especially if the lot is on a slope or near a canyon edge in Yorba Linda Tremron service areas. Chino Hills enforces grading and hillside ordinances, which means your paver or wall project likely needs engineered drainage and slope-stability documentation before approval. We pull permits and coordinate inspections as part of our scope, so you’re not left managing a reviewer’s revision requests on your own.
That’s efflorescence: moisture moving through the paver brings soluble salts to the surface, where they dry as a white deposit. In Los Serranos, hillside runoff after winter storms keeps pavers saturated and makes the problem worse than on flat lots. The fix is drainage correction plus a proper cleaning and seal, not just scrubbing the surface. Call (866) 253-8554 and we’ll tell you whether your pavers need drainage work or just a good cleaning.

On a hillside lot off Carbon Canyon near Pomona Tremron service, our crew tore out a heaved Tremron Old Town paver driveway where runoff had been pooling against the garage slab for seasons. We rebuilt the base with proper compaction and a channel drain, re-laid salvaged and new Old Town units to match, and tied the drainage into a Highland block retaining wall we re-backed with geogrid. The homeowner got a driveway that sheds storm water instead of soaking it, and the wall stopped rotating. That’s the standard we bring to every Los Serranos job. Call (866) 253-8554 to schedule your free estimate.
