Tremron Driveway & Pavers: The West Covina Owner’s Guide
Tremron paver driveways in West Covina typically cost $7,000 to $18,000 installed, and most paver repair or replacement work we handle is completed within one to three days once materials are on site. You’ll usually know something’s wrong before you can name it: a paver that rocks underfoot, a low spot that collects water after rain, or edges that have started to wander into the grass. We stock the common Tremron paver sizes and colors on our trucks, so when you call us about a failed section, we can usually match it without making you wait through a special order.
If you’ve got a cracked paver, a sunken section, or a border that’s pulling away from the rest of the driveway, this page tells you exactly what to expect: what the part costs, what’s involved in fixing it, and when it makes sense to call us instead of wrestling with it yourself.
Which Tremron Models This Applies To
Tremron makes concrete pavers in a few distinct lines, and West Covina driveways are most commonly built with their standard 60mm and 80mm interlocking pavers. The 60mm thickness is rated for pedestrian and light vehicle use, while the 80mm is the proper spec for driveways that see daily vehicle traffic. That thickness difference matters more than most homeowners realize: a 60mm paver used on a driveway will crack under repeated vehicle weight, particularly in the clay-heavy soils we have throughout West Covina.
The most common Tremron lines we see in this area are the Holland Stone, Olde Towne, and Mega Olde Towne series. Each has a slightly different face dimension and edge profile, and they don’t interchange cleanly. If you don’t know which paver you have, look for the manufacturer stamp on the underside of a loose paver, or measure the face: Holland runs about 4″ x 8″, Olde Towne runs about 6″ x 9″, and Mega Olde Towne is the larger format at roughly 8″ x 12″.
One compatibility gotcha we run into constantly in West Covina: Tremron changes their color blends slightly from batch to batch. A “Sierra Blend” paver poured in 2016 will not match a 2024 pour exactly, even though the name is identical. When we repair a section, we pull pavers from multiple areas of the existing driveway and blend them with the new ones so the repair doesn’t look like a patch. Aftermarket equivalents exist, but for Tremron driveways we recommend staying with genuine Tremron pavers, because the aftermarket copies we’ve tested fade at different rates under California sun, and within two years the repair becomes visible.
Styles & brands we work with
Signs Your Tremron Driveway & Pavers Are Failing
- Rocking or shifting pavers. A paver that tilts when you step on it means the base beneath it has washed out or compacted unevenly. In West Covina, this usually traces back to poor drainage or a cracked edge restraint that’s letting the sand bedding escape.
- Low spots that hold water. If puddles sit on your driveway for hours after rain, the base layer isn’t draining or the slope has flattened. Standing water on pavers speeds up erosion of the joint sand and invites weeds.
- Growing gaps between pavers. When joint sand washes out and isn’t replaced, pavers drift apart and lose their interlock. You’ll see the gaps get wider near the driveway edges first, where water runs off.
- Cracked or chipped pavers. A single cracked paver could be from a dropped tool or a heavy point load. Multiple cracked pavers in a line usually means the base is failing under that section, or the wrong paver thickness was installed originally.
- Edge pavers falling away from the border. The edge restraint (usually plastic or concrete) is what holds the whole system in compression. If the border pavers are separating, the restraint has failed, and the problem will spread inward without repair.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
A full Tremron paver driveway replacement in West Covina runs $7,000 to $18,000 depending on square footage, paver thickness, base depth, and access to the site. Spot repairs, where we replace a sunken or cracked section and re-compact the base, usually run between $400 and $1,800. Paver patio installation, if you’re expanding the usable hardscape, runs $3,500 to $11,000.
What drives the range on a full replacement is mostly what’s underneath. Older West Covina homes often have driveways built on 2 to 3 inches of base rock with no geotextile fabric, and in the clay soils near Eastland Center and along the hillside streets south of the 10, that base shifts seasonally as the clay expands and contracts. A proper rebuild means 6 to 8 inches of compacted aggregate, a geotextile separator, and a concrete or plastic edge restraint. That’s labor and material, and it’s where the difference between a $7,000 driveway and an $18,000 one lives.
Our written quotes include the pavers, base material, sand, demolition and hauling of the old surface, and the labor. Every job gets a written price before work starts, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers paver and base work for a full year from the completion date. If a paver shifts or a section settles within that year, we come back and fix it at no charge.
DIY or Call Us?
You can safely check a few things yourself. Look at the edge of your driveway: if the plastic or concrete border is visibly cracked or separated, that’s the root cause and it won’t fix itself. You can also lift a loose paver and look at the base material underneath. If it’s sand only with no crushed rock, your base was never built to handle vehicle weight, and no amount of paver-leveling sand on top will correct it.
What you shouldn’t do is try to reset pavers without compacting the base properly. A shop-vac, some sand, and an afternoon of wiggling pavers back into place will look fine for about six months, then the same low spot returns because the problem was never the paver; it was what’s underneath it. You also shouldn’t rent a plate compactor if you’ve never run one in a confined driveway space between a retaining wall and a garage door. The learning curve there gets expensive.
For most West Covina homeowners, the honest split is this: you can diagnose the problem with the steps above, but the repair is worth having done by people who rebuild driveways every week. Call us at (707) 760-7579 and we’ll tell you over the phone whether you’re looking at a paver swap or a base rebuild.

FAQs
A properly installed Tremron paver driveway with an adequate base lasts 25 to 40 years in West Covina’s climate, though the joint sand needs topping off every 2 to 3 years. Driveways built on thin base or missing edge restraint typically need major repair within 10 to 15 years. Call (707) 760-7579 and we can inspect what you’ve got.
A cracked paver can’t be glued or patched invisibly; it gets pulled and swapped for a new one. The fix is straightforward if we can match the color, and the bigger question is always whether the crack was caused by impact or by a failing base underneath. Get a free estimate at (707) 760-7579 before you spend money on a surface fix.
A spot repair of a sunken section or cracked pavers usually takes one day from start to finish, including base re-compaction and joint sand. A full driveway replacement in West Covina takes 2 to 4 days depending on square footage and whether the old base needs to be excavated. We’ll give you a written timeline with your quote.
