Tremron Driveway & Pavers: The Sacramento Owner’s Guide
We stock and install Tremron-compatible driveway pavers and replacement units throughout Sacramento, with typical paver driveway installation running $7,000 – $18,000 depending on square footage, base condition, and paver series. Most owners discover they have a problem the same way: a paver cracks under vehicle weight, a section sinks after winter rain, or the sand joints wash out and the whole surface starts shifting. You’re here because the driveway doesn’t look right and you want a straight answer on what it costs to fix it. Here it is, in writing.
Loose, cracked, or sunken Tremron pavers are usually a base problem, not a paver problem. A paver is a concrete unit; it only fails early when something underneath it gives way. In Sacramento, that something is usually expansive clay soil, poor drainage, or a base that was never compacted properly. Curtis Lane has seen this across every neighborhood from Land Park to Folsom: the pavers hold fine, but the driveway heaves because water got under the surface and the native soil did what Sacramento soil does.
Key takeaways:
- Installed paver driveway replacement in Sacramento: $7,000 – $18,000
- Partial repair of a failed paver section: typically $500 – $2,500 depending on base condition
- We’re an independent Sacramento contractor, not a Tremron dealer or affiliate, and we match Tremron series pavers by dimension and color
- Every repair gets a written price before work starts, and the work carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise
Which Tremron Models This Applies To
Tremron manufactures pavers in a handful of standard dimensions, and the compatibility gotcha is real: a Tremron paver from the Estate Series is not interchangeable with one from the Coventry or Mega Olde Towne lines, even if they look similar from the curb. The most common residential Tremron paver sizes in Sacramento are 6″×9″, 6″×6″, and 12″×12″, with thicknesses running from 60mm for pedestrian patios to 80mm for driveway-rated units. If you’re replacing a paver that takes vehicle load, you need the 80mm thickness. A 60mm patio paver under a car will crack. We see that mistake all the time.
Identifying your exact Tremron paver: check for the manufacturer stamp on the bottom side of a loose unit, or measure the face dimensions and thickness. Series names cast into the paver surface (like “Olde Towne” or “Coventry”) are not always present, so measurement is the reliable path. For OEM matching, we order through the same Sacramento masonry supply yards that carry Tremron inventory, and we’re equally comfortable using a documented aftermarket equivalent if the original series has been discontinued. We’ll tell you which is which, and what the price difference is, before anything gets ordered.
Bradford Remodeling Co Sacramento is an independent contractor and is not affiliated with Tremron. We install and repair Tremron-compatible products. We also stock matching parts for KraftMaid cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone surfaces on our remodel side, so the same discipline carries across the full scope of our work.

Signs Your Tremron Driveway & Pavers Is Failing
- Sunken or depressed pavers in the wheel path. The base layer under the pavers has compacted unevenly or eroded from water intrusion. This is the earliest and most common failure in Sacramento driveways, and it will spread if left alone.
- Sand washing out of the joints after every rain. Joint sand is the structural glue between pavers. When it migrates, the pavers lose lateral support and start shifting individually. You’ll see widening gaps and a gritty wash line along the driveway edge.
- Cracked or split pavers. A single cracked paver is usually a point-load failure from a heavy vehicle or a thin edge cut. Multiple cracked pavers in a pattern suggest base movement underneath and need a base repair, not just a paver swap.
- Standing water pooling in low spots. Good paver driveways are pitched to drain. Pooling means the base settled or the original grade was flat, and water is now working its way under the surface. In Sacramento’s wet winters, this accelerates heaving in clay soil.
- Edge pavers separating from the border or dropping off the driveway edge. The edge restraint has failed. Without containment, the entire field can creep outward and lose interlock. This is the difference between a $600 repair and a $6,000 one if you catch it early.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
A full paver driveway installation in Sacramento runs $7,000 – $18,000, with the spread driven by driveway size, base depth, paver series, and whether we’re pulling an old concrete slab first. Partial repairs are cheaper: expect $500 – $2,500 for a localized base repair and paver reset in a typical 200-square-foot failure area. The two big cost drivers on most Sacramento jobs are base work and access. If the base gravel is saturated or contaminated with fines, we’re rebuilding it from the geotextile up, and that’s labor hours you can’t fake your way around.
Every quote is a written, line-item price before work starts. No numbers move at the door. What’s included: removal and haul-off of failed pavers, base inspection and repair to proper depth, reinstallation with compaction and new joint sand, edge restraint repair as needed, and a clean site at close. Your written guarantee comes in your hand before the crew pulls out. If the repair fails inside one year, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and that’s The Garrison Standard we operate under.
DIY or Call Us?
You can safely inspect a few things: look for standing water, note where the sunken areas are, and check whether edge restraint is visible or buried. You can also measure a loose paver so you know what you’re working with. What you shouldn’t do is pull pavers out of the middle of a vehicle-supporting driveway, dig out the base, and guess at re-compaction. Pavers under load need a properly compacted base and correct pitch, and a repair that looks fine for six months will fail next winter if the base isn’t done right. Lifting a 60-pound paver and wrenching your back is the cheap part of the mistake. Rebuilding a failed base twice is the expensive one.
If the driveway is shifting, cracking, or draining wrong, call us at (279) 226-1509. We’ll come out, take the measurements, and give you a written price for the fix. Straight scope, firm price, no surprises after the drywall goes up.
FAQs
A properly installed Tremron paver driveway in Sacramento lasts 25 – 40 years for the pavers themselves, but the base underneath typically needs attention every 15 – 20 years. Pavers fail early here when the base fails first. Call (279) 226-1509 if you’re seeing movement; catching it early keeps the repair small.
A cracked paver can’t be repaired, but it can be replaced individually in most cases for $20 – $60 in materials plus labor, as long as the base underneath is still sound. If multiple pavers are cracking in a pattern, the base is the problem and replacement of the paver alone won’t hold. We’ll tell you which situation you have before quoting anything.
A typical localized paver repair takes one to two days, including base repair, compaction, paver reset, and joint sand. A full driveway replacement runs three to seven days depending on square footage and whether an old slab is being removed. You’ll get a schedule in writing with your price.
We source Tremron paver units through Sacramento masonry supply yards on a per-job basis, so the paver arrives matched to your existing series, dimension, and color. We don’t warehouse a standing inventory of every Tremron series, but we can have your exact unit on hand within days, and we handle the entire procurement. Call (279) 226-1509 and we’ll identify what you need over the phone or on site.
