Tremron Construction in Lexington Hills, CA | Viceroy Construction
We provide independent Tremron hardscape installation and repair across Lexington Hills and nearby areas, including Tremron repair in Cambrian Park, from paver driveways to retaining walls. We’re not affiliated with Tremron or authorized by them, which means our recommendations come from what actually holds up on these steep canyon lots, not a manufacturer’s talking points. The one thing that sets our Tremron work apart here: we know the difference between a paver job that survives ten wet winters and one that shifts the first time water runs under it. Call us at (877) 358-6557 for a free estimate.
Our team has spent years working with Tremron sales & service across the Santa Cruz Mountains. We’re the crew that shows up understanding that a Lexington Hills driveway isn’t the same as a Saratoga driveway. Neil Drummond, our owner, grew up in the Saratoga foothills and trained in the building trades program at West Valley College, where he learned concrete and structural work the old way. That background matters when you’re laying pavers on a 15 percent grade or replacing a wall that Cal Fire is looking at.
Why Lexington Hills Residents Choose Us for Tremron Service
Most Lexington Hills homeowners don’t have a flat, easy driveway. You’re on a hill, off a winding road, surrounded by trees that drop needles and limbs every winter. A paver job that looks great on a model home in the valley can fail in two seasons up here if the base wasn’t built right. We build for this specific place. We’ve worked on Lexington Hills service area properties from Old Santa Cruz Highway to the highest private drives, so we know what works.
Our crew understands Tremron product lines, including the Signature Series, Old Canyon, and Berkeley pavers, plus Riverstone wall blocks. We use genuine Tremron pavers and blocks when color and dimensional match matter, but we pair them with aftermarket base materials and polymeric sand that often outperform OEM specs in mountain drainage conditions. Neil still walks every job before calling it done. The details you don’t see are the ones that matter most.

Common Tremron Construction Problems We Solve in Lexington Hills
- Paver shifting and settling on sloped driveways. Water runoff on Lexington Hills grades finds its way under pavers even when the surface looks okay. Without deep compaction and proper drainage, you get ruts and lip edges within one or two winters. We excavate and rebuild bases rather than dressing up the surface.
- Surface staining and efflorescence from winter rain and tree tannins. Oak and pine tannins plus repeated wetting cycles leave white or brown blooms on pavers. We strip and reseal with products suited to the microclimate, then advise on defensible-space clearing so leaf litter stops compounding the problem.
- Retaining wall block cracking from hydrostatic pressure. Heavy rain saturates mountain soil, and if a wall’s drainage behind the block isn’t properly engineered, you’ll see hairline cracks turn into structural failures. We fix the drainage first, not the block.
- Color fading and surface wear from intense summer UV and wildfire ash. Older Tremron pavers lose their pigment on south-facing slopes after years of direct sun. Ash from wildfires also etches surfaces. We can match and replace, or apply a penetrating sealer to slow the damage.
- Base failure on driveways that were originally installed with minimal excavation. Some properties off Old Santa Cruz Highway still have original bases built before modern compaction standards. These fail from the bottom up. Replacing surface pavers without addressing the base is a waste of money.
Tremron Service in Lexington Hills: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something you won’t read on a generic Tremron page: because Lexington Hills sits inside Cal Fire’s wildland-urban interface, paver driveways and patios have to be installed with noncombustible edge restraints and kept clear of pine needles and debris to meet defensible space requirements. Valley crews often miss this entirely. You’ll see polished paver jobs with plastic edging that melts in an ember storm or organic mulch stacked right against a wall. The county’s unincorporated Santa Cruz permitting process doesn’t flag this on every project, but Cal Fire will when an inspector shows up.
What that means practically: metal or concrete edge restraint instead of plastic, a 5-foot clearance around structures, and an honest conversation about whether that row of junipers next to your new patio is worth keeping. We’ve had to redo work for homeowners who hired crews from over the hill that treated Lexington Hills like a suburb. It isn’t.
Tremron Models & Products We Service in Lexington Hills
We install and repair Tremron’s Signature Series pavers, Old Canyon pavers, and Berkeley pavers, along with Riverstone wall blocks. For driveways that need the load-bearing and drainage performance of concrete, we also install cast-in-place concrete with paver borders or accents. Our parts approach is straightforward: genuine Tremron units for visible surfaces where matching matters, and quality aftermarket base material, geotextile fabric, and polymeric sand where performance counts more than a label. We stock common paver profiles and joint sands locally so small repairs get turned around fast, but for larger Lexington Hills jobs we order direct and manage delivery on the private road access ourselves.

| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 – $18,000 |
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 – $11,000 |

FAQs – Tremron Construction in Lexington Hills
Yes, they can if the base is engineered for the grade. We excavate deeper than standard, install a geotextile separation layer, compact aggregate in lifts, and lock edges with a hidden concrete curb. On one steep private road off Old Santa Cruz Highway, we rebuilt a failing Signature Series driveway this way and it has held through multiple winters. Call (877) 358-6557 for an exact quote on your slope.
Keep the patio and the surrounding 5 feet free of pine needles, leaves, and stored firewood. Use metal or concrete edge restraints, not plastic. We can install a paver patio that already meets these standards, then give you a seasonal maintenance checklist so an inspector doesn’t hand you a citation. Estimates are free at (877) 358-6557.
Cracking after heavy rain almost always means hydrostatic pressure, which means water isn’t escaping from behind the wall. We fix the drainage path behind and through the wall, then reset or replace the cracked block. Replacing the surface with the same block without fixing the drainage just moves the problem to the next winter.
Yes, they fade over time, particularly on south-facing exposures in Lexington Hills. Older Signature Series and Old Canyon lines lose pigment faster than newer units. We apply penetrating sealers that slow UV and ash damage, and we can match replacements to the current weathered color rather than the original one.
We also handle Tremron repair in Scotts Valley. For Lexington Hills, we stage materials at the nearest wide point on the county road, then shuttle up with a smaller tracked loader or a dump trailer that fits the switchbacks. A full semi cannot make most Lexington Hills private drives. We coordinate delivery so the homeowner doesn’t have to.
