Tremron Construction in Ontario, CA | Elmwood Contractors
We’re an independent contractor installing and repairing Tremron paver systems across Ontario, from residential driveways in 91761 to heavy-duty dock aprons off the I-10 corridor, with Upland Tremron service also available. The one thing that makes our Tremron work different here is that we spec base compaction and edge restraint for truck loading, not just curb appeal. Ontario’s warehouse economy means a paver driveway here often sees more daily abuse than a sidewalk in coastal LA. Call (866) 253-8554 for a free estimate.
Why Ontario Residents Choose Us for Tremron Service
We install Tremron hardscape every week, so we know the actual product line: Olde Towne, Stonegate, Harbor, and the Madison wall block. We know how these units behave on Inland Empire ground, especially when the subgrade is disturbed fill from old warehouse pads or compacted CalTrans spec. We’re not authorized, sponsored, or warrantied by Tremron. We’re just experienced with the material and honest about when a repair beats a tear-out.
Nolan Shepherd runs Elmwood Contractors. He grew up in Fullerton’s Sunny Hills neighborhood, where half the houses were built in the late ’60s, and by his teens he knew which ones were going to have foundation problems. That instinct for reading ground carried into his construction work across North Orange County and now into Ontario, where the subgrade tells you more about a paver job than the paver itself. We name the brands going into your home before the contract is signed. The base, geotextile, edge restraint, and polymeric sand are where we spec to the site – not to a brand label.
If you’re in Ontario and want Tremron sales & service handled by a contractor who actually installs the product, we’re your crew. We serve the entire Ontario service area including 91764, 91798, 91758, and 91761.

Common Tremron Construction Problems We Solve in Ontario
- Edge restraint and joint sand failure on driveways and truck-court aprons. Pavers walk out of pattern when drayage trucks stage at the curb or delivery rigs turn in front of a house. The base and edge were undersized, not the paver. We rebuild the edge, re-compact, and reset the pattern.
- Fine dust and wind-blown grit infiltrating joints before polymeric sand sets. Ontario sits next to active tilt-up pads and graded subgrade. Santa Ana winds push that dust into fresh joints, so the sand erodes and weeds push through within a season. We damp-cure and protect fresh joints on windy days, and we stage polymeric sand application so it bonds before the next dust event.
- Heat curing and rapid drying during summer pours. Ontario summer heat regularly exceeds coastal LA by 15 to 20 degrees. South- and west-facing slabs with no shade dry fast, so bedding sand loses moisture mid-compaction and you get localized settlement. We adjust moisture content, work in earlier hours, and cover the compaction area when needed.
- Color and dye-lot drift between phased orders. A driveway done this year and a patio next year from a different Tremron run won’t match under the harsh Inland Empire sun. We order ahead when phasing is likely and document the dye lot, so matching is a conversation, not a surprise.
- Base failure under existing concrete driveways, especially in the 91761 ZIP near the airport corridor. Older tract homes have slabs that crack and heave after decades of trucks turning around in front of them. We over-excavate, re-compact in lifts, and reset Tremron units on a base that actually drains.
Tremron Service in Ontario: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Ontario’s construction economy is dominated by tilt-up warehouse shells and tenant improvements around Ontario International Airport and the I-10/I-15 junction. That means our Tremron crews here are as likely to be building heavy-duty paver aprons at dock doors and truck courts as residential driveways. Load rating and base compaction, not curb appeal, drive the spec. Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach drayage traffic is part of daily life in this corridor, and a paver surface that holds up to a loaded truck turning at a dock has different structural demands than a patio in a cul-de-sac. We see this on jobs near Vineyard Avenue and Mission Boulevard, where a warehouse tenant improvement will spill staging equipment onto a paver apron that was originally spec’d for passenger cars. That’s why we ask what’s actually going to drive on the surface before we quote it. The answer changes the base depth, the joint material, and the edge restraint detail.
One field example from 91761: a 1960s tract home near the airport corridor had an original concrete driveway that cracked and heaved from years of delivery trucks turning around in front of the house. We tore out the slab, over-excavated the failed base, re-compacted in lifts, and installed Tremron Olde Towne pavers with a proper edge restraint and polymeric sand. Then we graded the apron so runoff shed away from the garage rather than pooling at the door. That job was a driveway replacement, not a cosmetic paver refresh, and the difference is in the base.
Tremron Models & Products We Service in Ontario
We install and repair Tremron Olde Towne pavers, Stonegate pavers, Harbor pavers, and Madison retaining wall block, and we also handle Tremron repair in Montclair. For visible surfaces, we use Tremron-manufactured pavers and matching wall block. For everything below the surface – base, geotextile, edge restraint, and polymeric sand – we spec to the site conditions in Ontario, not to a brand label. That’s the honest way to build a paver surface here. We stock common Tremron units and matching joint sand locally so we can turn around repairs in Ontario without waiting on a distributor order from out of the area.

AfterTremron Service Pricing in Ontario
Pricing depends on what’s under the pavers, not just the square footage. A residential patio with good subgrade is a straightforward job. A driveway that needs base rebuild, drainage correction, and a load-rated edge for truck traffic costs more. Here are the line items we quote most often in Ontario:
| Service | Typical Ontario 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 free estimate from us includes a look at the existing base, drainage, and what’s actually driving or draining across the surface. No line in our quote is vague. Call (866) 253-8554 to schedule yours.

FAQs – Tremron Construction in Ontario
Yes. We spec the base depth, edge restraint, and joint material for the actual load. A truck court apron near the I-10/I-15 junction gets a different compaction and edge detail than a two-car residential driveway. Tell us what’s driving on it and we’ll build it for that. Call (866) 253-8554 for a free estimate.
Almost always, the edge restraint failed or the base was undersized. In Ontario, fine dust and wind-blown grit from nearby tilt-up construction gets into joints before polymeric sand sets, which accelerates erosion. We rebuild the edge, re-compact the base, and reset the units. The pavers are rarely the problem – the subgrade and edge usually are.
Yes, particularly for new construction and major remodels. Ontario enforces CalGreen stormwater and infiltration requirements, and the city checks permeable surface ratios on many projects. For most residential driveway and patio replacements, the structural base and drainage details matter more than the paver itself. We handle the permit coordination when the job needs it.
Heat speeds up moisture loss in bedding sand, which causes uneven compaction if we’re not careful. Wind pushes dust and grit into fresh joints before polymeric sand bonds. We adjust our schedule to earlier mornings in summer, damp-cure the base, and protect fresh joints when the Santa Anas kick up. The result is a consistent paver field that doesn’t settle in patches.
We document the dye lot and pattern on the first install. If we can’t get the same run, we’ll tell you before we quote so you can decide between a close match or phasing a full replacement of the visible surface. Ontario’s sun shows color drift more harshly than coastal areas, so we’d rather be upfront about it. Call (866) 253-8554 to talk through it.
