Tremron Home Additions & ADU: The San Antonio Owner’s Guide
If you have a Tremron paver or wall block product tied into a home addition or ADU project, and something has shifted, cracked, or failed, here’s the straight answer: we match Tremron hardscape components with structural work daily across San Antonio, and a typical home addition or ADU involving Tremron materials runs $45,000 to $130,000 installed, with the hardscape portion usually accounting for $3,500 to $18,000 of that depending on slab footprint, drainage, and retaining requirements. Most owners discover a problem the same way: a paver edge lifting near a foundation corner, a retaining block leaning after heavy rain, or a base layer settling under a new patio tie-in.
We’re an independent San Antonio contractor, not affiliated with Tremron, but we work with their product lines constantly because they’re spec’d on a huge share of local projects. What matters to you is whether the failed piece can be matched, whether the underlying base is still sound, and what it costs to make it right. That’s what this page covers.
Which Tremron Models This Applies To
Tremron product lines show up on San Antonio additions in a few predictable ways: Mega-Arbel and Mega-Lafitt pavers for driveways and patio tie-ins, Stonegate and Riverock wall blocks for retaining and planter walls, and Bullnose coping units for pool edges and raised patios attached to additions. The compatibility gotcha most owners miss is that Tremron runs two manufacturing plants in Florida and several regional yards; paver dimensions from different production runs can vary by up to 1/8 inch in thickness, so matching a 10-year-old paver by name alone isn’t enough. You need the original size stamp off the bottom of a clean unit, or a photo of the paver profile next to a tape measure.
For the hardscape portion of an addition, most San Antonio projects use either 80mm pavers for pedestrian patios or 60mm units for light-traffic areas. If a driveway tie-in is involved, we step up to 80mm minimum, often 100mm on commercial-grade aggregate. When we quote a Tremron-related repair or addition, we always verify the current production specs against your existing units; if the current run won’t match, we’ll tell you before you spend money, not after.
We also stock and install parts and materials for KraftMaid, Cambria, and Silestone products on addition and ADU projects, so if your project touches more than the hardscape, the same crew can usually handle it.

Signs Your Tremron Home Additions & ADU Component Is Failing
- Paver edges lifting near the foundation line. This usually means the sand or aggregate base is washing out from under the edge restraint. San Antonio’s clay soils expand and contract with moisture, and a missing edge restraint lets the whole field drift.
- Retaining wall blocks leaning outward. A lean beyond 1 inch per foot of wall height means the wall wasn’t backfilled with proper drainage gravel, or the geogrid wasn’t installed. This gets worse after every heavy rain, and San Antonio gets those.
- Visible settling in a paver field. A depression deeper than half an inch that holds water after a storm means the base didn’t get compacted in lifts. Digging out and re-compacting is the only real fix; adding sand on top just hides it for a season.
- Cracks running through coping or bullnose units. These are typically caused by freeze-thaw cycling or a shifting concrete collar underneath. The paver is just the symptom; the concrete below needs addressing first.
- Gaps widening between wall blocks. When blocks separate at the joints even without leaning, the wall is rotating. The fix usually means partial disassembly, new geogrid, and re-compaction, not just pushing blocks back together.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
For Tremron hardscape work tied to a San Antonio home addition or ADU, here’s how the numbers shake out:
- Paver patio tie-in (150-400 sq ft): $3,500 to $11,000
- Paver driveway replacement: $7,000 to $18,000
- Retaining wall rebuild (up to 4 ft height): $4,000 to $12,000 per 50 linear feet, depending on geogrid and drainage requirements
- Full home addition with Tremron hardscape: $45,000 to $130,000
- ADU construction with Tremron elements: $90,000 to $220,000
Every quote includes material, base preparation, compaction, drainage, labor, and haul-off of failed material. We provide a written price before any work starts, with a line-item breakdown so you see exactly what the hardscape portion costs versus the structural work. Our work is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if anything isn’t right within a year of completion, we come back and fix it at no cost to you.
Isaac Pruett has been running San Antonio jobs for years, and his approach is to get the scope right the first time. That means fewer surprises on the invoice and fewer callbacks after the work is done.

You can safely inspect two things yourself: whether water is pooling against a wall or paver edge, and whether you can see visible erosion or washout at the outside edges. That information helps us quote faster. What you should not attempt yourself is resetting pavers on a failed base, rebuilding a retaining wall over 2 feet, or cutting Tremron units to fit. Retaining walls carry structural load, and a wall that fails can drop hundreds of pounds of block and soil. Cutting pavers without proper dust control exposes you to silica dust, which is a serious respiratory hazard.
If the base is still solid and only a handful of pavers are cracked, a careful owner can sometimes swap individual units. But if you’re seeing the symptoms above, the base is almost never fine. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll walk you through what we’re seeing and what it’ll take to fix it right.
FAQs
Tremron concrete pavers typically last 25 to 40 years in San Antonio’s climate, but the base underneath them needs attention every 10 to 15 years. The pavers themselves rarely fail; the base, edge restraint, and drainage are what give out first. Call (254) 269-5071 for an exact assessment and a free estimate on base repair or replacement.
If the lean is under 1 inch per foot of wall height and the blocks are still intact, we can often disassemble, re-level, and add proper drainage and geogrid without full replacement. Beyond that, the wall typically needs a rebuild because the structural integrity is compromised. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll tell you honestly which path makes sense for your wall.
A standard paver patio repair or small wall rebuild takes 1 to 3 days once we’re on site, depending on access and how much base material needs to be re-compacted. Larger addition tie-ins run concurrently with the structural work, so the schedule follows the overall project timeline. Call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll give you a written timeline with your quote.
We maintain relationships with San Antonio Tremron yards and can typically get standard units within 24 to 48 hours. Specialty colors or older discontinued patterns may take longer, and we’ll confirm availability before we commit to a start date. Call (254) 269-5071 with your paver style and we’ll check current stock.
