Tremron Construction in Lompico, CA | Seaside Contractors
We install and repair our Tremron services including pavers, retaining walls, and patio systems throughout Lompico, and we do it as an independent contractor, not a factory outlet. The difference matters here because Lompico’s steep redwood canyons punish base prep mistakes faster than any flat subdivision lot. If you’re pricing a Tremron paver driveway or wall in the 95005 zip, call (833) 589-8103 and we’ll give you a straight answer on what the ground under it actually needs.
Glen Sorrento, our owner at Seaside Contractors, grew up watching lagoon-side homes in Foster City get built and rebuilt, then spent two-plus decades running Peninsula projects. What he’ll tell you about Tremron in Brookdale and Lompico: the stone is the easy part. The drainage, the geotextile, the compaction on a 15-degree grade under redwood canopy, that’s where a paver job lives or dies. We carry genuine Tremron blocks and pavers alongside aftermarket joint sand and base aggregate, so you get the right product at the visible layer and the right material underneath. Let’s figure out what the job actually needs, then we’ll talk materials.
Why Lompico Residents Choose Us for Tremron Service
We’ve set enough Tremron Olde World pavers and Arbel retaining blocks in the San Lorenzo Valley to know how they actually perform on saturated, sloped ground, and we handle Tremron repair in Felton with the same field-tested approach. This isn’t showroom knowledge. It’s watching how efflorescence blooms on a north-facing slope after one wet winter, or how edge spalling shows up within two seasons when someone skips the compacted aggregate base. Lompico’s lots demand that experience.
Glen studied building construction technology at College of San Mateo, then spent decades working through every project type the Peninsula throws at a contractor. When a Lompico homeowner calls about their Tremron driveway shifting, he’s thinking about the percolation test they probably had to pass before the driveway was even permitted, not just the pavers. That’s the difference between a contractor who sells blocks and one who builds systems. We’re an independent Tremron installer, which means we answer to you and to the county’s site requirements, not to a dealer’s quota, whether the job is here or Tremron in Mount Hermon.

Common Tremron Construction Problems We Solve in Lompico
- Efflorescence bloom and salt staining on new pavers. Lompico’s winter rain saturates the base course, then water wicks up through the stone and leaves a white chalky haze on the surface. We see it most on north-facing slopes under redwood canopy, where the ground never really dries out. Fixing it means addressing the base drainage first, then cleaning and sealing.
- Edge spalling and corner chipping from weak base prep. When a previous contractor set Tremron pavers without proper compaction or a geotextile layer, the edges chip and corners snap. On Lompico’s steep grade lots, this shows up as shifting and rutting within a couple of seasons. The repair isn’t the broken paver. It’s the base underneath it.
- Heaving and joint separation after heavy rain. Driveways cut into hillside lots without adequate underdrain hold water against the paver bed. When that water can’t daylight somewhere, it pushes. Lompico’s canyon lots make this worse because the ground itself is often a thin soil layer over fractured rock. We re-grade, add drainage, and reset the section.
- Moss, algae, and color fade on shaded wall blocks and patios. In the redwood-shade damp, Tremron retaining walls and cap courses grow moss faster than most homeowners expect. The blocks themselves are fine, but failed mortar joints in cold-applied caps let water sit and break things down. We repoint, clean, and treat the surface so it holds up.
- Failed retaining wall sections. Tremron Mega Arbel and Arbel blocks are solid products, but a wall is only as good as its drainage and its setback. On Lompico slopes, a wall that wasn’t backfilled with clear drainage stone will lean or bulge within a few years. We rebuild the section with proper geogrid and weep drainage.
Tremron Service in Lompico: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing about Lompico that changes how we approach every Tremron project. Almost every buildable lot in this community hinges on a pre-permit percolation test, a well-yield check, and a steep-slope geotechnical report before a single permit gets pulled. Lompico is unincorporated mountain country off Highway 9 above Scotts Valley, with private wells, private septic, and lots that were subdivided informally decades ago. That means a Tremron paver driveway or patio here is often the last step in a permitting chain, and the county’s site engineers have already drawn assumptions about drainage, slope stability, and erosion control. We build our paver sub-base and drainage specs to survive those engineered-site drawings, not flat-lot assumptions. A contractor who doesn’t read the geotech report before sourcing base rock will be redoing the job in two years.
We saw it firsthand on a steep, redwood-shaded lot off Highway 9. The homeowner had a failed percolation test on the existing gravel drive, so we replaced it with Tremron Olde World pavers over a compacted aggregate base, a geotextile separation layer, and a French drain that daylights at the downhill edge. We tied the new base drainage into the county’s slope-drainage requirement before setting a single stone. Two winters of canyon rain later, the pavers are still tight and there’s no efflorescence bloom. That’s the standard we hold for every job we take in this valley.
Tremron Models & Products We Service in Lompico
We install and repair the Tremron lines that make sense for mountain lots and canyon aesthetics. The Olde World Paver series is the most common request for Lompico driveways and patios, and we carry the tumbled, textured concrete pavers in the sand and gray blends that match the redwood-country look. We also set Tremron Mega Arbel and Arbel segmental retaining-wall blocks for sloped properties, Tremron Ledgestone and Capri Stone wall veneers for homes that need that finished stone finish, and the standard Tremron paver walkway and patio slab pavers where a cleaner, more modern face is the goal.
Our parts approach is simple. For repairs that adjoin existing installations, we source genuine Tremron blocks and pavers so color and dimension match. For the invisible layers, we use quality aftermarket polymeric joint sand and base aggregate, because that’s where the engineering is and paying the Tremron name on a bag of sand doesn’t make the sand better. If a paver field is under 20% failed and the base is sound, we repair and re-sand. If the base has failed across most of the slab, we replace that section and say so plainly.

Our free estimates walk you through that line by line, and they’re honest about when the cheaper option is also the right one. Call (833) 589-8103 and we’ll come walk the site, read the grade, and give you a number that won’t change once we open up the ground.

FAQs – Tremron Construction in Lompico
Yes, but only with proper base engineering: a compacted aggregate sub-base, geotextile separation fabric, and drainage that moves water off the slope before it can build pressure behind the paver bed. Lompico’s steep lots demand more than a casual install, so if you’ve been told “pavers don’t work on slopes,” the contractor was talking about their own prep, not the product. We design each steep driveway install around the county’s slope-drainage requirements.
Frequently, yes. Because Lompico lots run on private wells and septic systems, any substantial paver project near a leach field or well head has to respect setback and drainage rules. We flag those before the first stone is set, and we’ve had projects where the county’s percolation findings shaped the entire base drainage design. If you’re not sure where your septic lines sit, we’ll help you find the drawings before we order materials. Call (833) 589-8103 and we’ll walk the site together.
Olde World pavers are tumbled and textured, so they hide moss and organic staining better under redwood canopy. Standard slab pavers are flatter and more precise, which reads cleaner on a patio but shows shade staining sooner and can get slick when damp. For most Lompico lots, especially north-facing ones under tree cover, we recommend Olde World for driveways and walkways, with slab pavers reserved for patios that get at least some afternoon sun.
That’s efflorescence, and it happens when water saturates the base course and wicks up through the concrete, carrying salts that dry on the surface. On Lompico’s north-facing, redwood-shaded slopes, it’s common after the first or second wet winter. The fix is typically a drainage correction plus a thorough cleaning and seal, and it’s usually covered by our workmanship warranty when we did the original install. Call (833) 589-8103 and we’ll diagnose whether it’s a surface issue or a base issue.
Usually, yes. If the base is sound and fewer than about 20% of the pavers are failed, we lift and replace the damaged section with genuine Tremron blocks in the matching color and dimension, then re-sand and compact the joints. If the base has failed across most of the slab, replacing just the top layer is wasting your money. We’ll tell you which situation you’re in before we quote a number.
