Tremron Construction in San Antonio Heights, CA | Sycamore Contractors
Tremron paver installation in San Antonio Heights is specialized hillside work, not flat-lot paving. We provide independent Tremron sales, installation, and repair across the 91784 foothills, and our work here is shaped by one thing most valley-floor contractors never deal with: San Bernardino County’s WUI and slope-drainage review on unincorporated land. That means your paver driveway, patio, or retaining wall gets spec’d to the grade before we lay a single course. Call (877) 265-6284 to schedule Tremron sales & service on your property.
We’re Sycamore Contractors, an independent Tremron installer across San Antonio Heights. Not manufacturer-affiliated. Not a Tremron dealer pushing one product line. We answer to you. If you need Tremron service in La Habra, that’s a different conversation, but here in the foothills, we know how these pavers behave on slopes.
Why San Antonio Heights Residents Choose Us for Tremron Service
Most Tremron installers in the Inland Empire learned their trade on flat subdivision slabs. Flatter ground forgives a lot: a slightly soft base, a missing drainage swale, a paver edge that isn’t fully restrained. San Antonio Heights doesn’t forgive any of that. Every lot here is graded into the hillside, which means water moves fast and finds the weak spot in your base. We’ve laid Tremron Old Towne, Mega Olde Towne, and Biscayne pavers on terraced lots throughout the 91784 zip, and we’ve seen what happens when a base is compacted in lifts too thick for the grade: the field shifts, the edges spall, and the joint sand washes out by February.
Nate Calloway, our owner, grew up in Temecula’s Redhawk neighborhood and trained in construction technology at Palomar College before spending two decades running crews across Southwest Riverside County and the foothill communities north of the 210. When a San Antonio Heights homeowner asks whether Tremron pavers will hold up on their slope, he doesn’t give them a brochure answer. He tells them what the grade will accept, what the county will require, and what it’ll cost to do it so it stays put. Do it right the first time, or you’ll do it twice in the July heat.
We carry Tremron’s matching pavers, edge restraints, and polymeric joint sand for repairs and additions, so when we patch a field or tie in a new terrace, the new work blends with what’s already down. And because we’re independent, we’ll tell you plainly when a repair makes sense and when the real fix is cutting the base back to slope. We don’t get paid either way on that call.

Common Tremron Construction Problems We Solve in San Antonio Heights
Here’s what we actually see on Tremron hardscape in the San Antonio Heights foothills, and what usually causes it:
- Paver shift and settlement on slopes steeper than 15 percent. The base was compacted in lifts too thick for the grade. Terraced lots here routinely hit 10 to 20 percent slope, and a base that would work on a Rancho Cucamonga flat pad won’t hold on a San Antonio Heights hillside. We pull the field, re-cut the grade, compact in thinner lifts, and re-lay with proper edge restraint.
- Efflorescence blooming on gray and tan pavers after the first wet season. This white powdery streaking is most common on new hillside installations where base drainage wasn’t cut to slope before the dry Santa Ana cycle hit. The salts rise to the surface as the ground water moves through the base. It’s cosmetic but it points to a drainage issue underneath, and we address both.
- Edge spalling and joint sand loss on driveways and terraces. Runoff from an upper terrace sheets across the paver field instead of being caught by a swale or channel drain, and the repeated wet-dry cycle loosens the sand and chips the edges. The fix isn’t just re-sanding; it’s routing the water off the field first.
- Color fade and surface dulling on west- and south-facing patios. Inland UV and reflected heat hit harder in San Antonio Heights than on the shaded valley floor below. Tremron pavers are color-through, but prolonged sun exposure without periodic cleaning and joint maintenance will dull any surface eventually.
- Settlement where the driveway meets the garage slab. We see this on lots where the terrace above the driveway wasn’t drained before the pavers went in. Water pools against the slab, softens the base, and the field sinks. It’s a base failure, not a paver failure, and repointing over it just postpones the problem.
Tremron Service in San Antonio Heights: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Because San Antonio Heights is unincorporated, our paver hardscape and any grading or retaining work tied to it goes through San Bernardino County building and WUI review rather than a city counter. That changes the job before the first base course goes down. Slope-drainage plans and defensible-space clearances get checked by the county, and a paver driveway or patio that ignores those requirements will get bounced back. We’ve seen projects on Vía Zurita and other 91784 foothill roads where a homeowner assumed a city permit would cover their terrace work, only to find out the county wanted a drainage plan tied to the adjacent hillside. That’s the San Antonio Heights difference: the grid subdivisions of Upland and Rancho Cucamonga below don’t have to deal with it, but we do, every single time. If you want to know what the county will ask for before you commit to a paver project here, call us. We’ll walk you through it.
One job stands out. On a terraced lot off Vía Zurita, the homeowner’s Tremron Old Towne driveway had settled into a low spot where runoff from the upper terrace pooled against the garage slab. We pulled the field, re-cut the base to a true slope with a channel drain at the apron, re-compacted in thinner lifts, and re-laid the pavers with fresh edge restraint and polymeric sand. Two seasons of Santa Ana wind and winter rain later, the field is still tight and draining away from the house. That’s the standard we hold here.
Tremron Models & Products We Service in San Antonio Heights
We install and repair Tremron’s Old Towne and Mega Olde Towne pavers, the Biscayne line, and Tremron coping and wall caps. On repairs, we use Tremron’s own matching pavers, edge restraints, and polymeric joint sand so the patch blends with the existing field. We stock common Old Towne and Mega Olde Towne units locally for fast turnarounds across San Antonio Heights, which saves you the wait for a manufacturer shipment when you’ve got a settled driveway or a spalled edge to fix before the next rainy season.

FAQs – Tremron Construction in San Antonio Heights
Yes, but the base has to be cut to the grade, not just compacted flat on top of it. On slopes over about 15 percent, we compact in thinner lifts, install edge restraint on every edge, and add a channel drain at the apron to keep runoff from pooling against the garage. You can install Tremron pavers on most San Antonio Heights hillside driveways if the base is done right. Call (877) 265-6284 for an exact assessment of your slope.
That’s efflorescence, and it’s common on new gray and tan Tremron pavers after the first wet season, especially on hillside installations where base drainage wasn’t cut to slope before the dry Santa Ana cycle arrived. It’s cosmetic but it usually signals water moving through the base. We’ll clean the surface and check the drainage underneath so it doesn’t recur.
Yes. San Antonio Heights is unincorporated, so paver hardscape and any grading or retaining work tied to it goes through San Bernardino County building and WUI review, not a city counter. Slope-drainage plans and defensible-space clearances get checked before the first base course goes down. We handle that process from permit to final inspection.
Tremron pavers are color-through, meaning the color runs through the entire unit, not just a surface coating. But west- and south-facing patios in San Antonio Heights take harder inland UV and reflected heat than the valley floor below, and surface dulling over time is real. Periodic cleaning and joint sand maintenance keep them looking right. Call (877) 265-6284 for a maintenance plan tailored to your exposure.
We don’t just re-sand over a failed base and call it done. We pull the affected field, re-cut and re-compact the base in thinner lifts, fix the drainage that caused the failure, and re-lay the pavers with fresh edge restraint and Tremron’s matching polymeric sand. If we don’t fix the base, you’ll be calling us again next rainy season. For an exact repair quote, call (877) 265-6284.
