Tremron Construction in Fort Lauderdale, FL | Sawyer Remodel Fort Lauderdale
We’re a General Contractor in Fort Lauderdale, and we provide independent Tremron paver and wall installation, repair, and replacement across Fort Lauderdale. We are not a factory-authorized Tremron dealer, and we don’t pretend to be. What we are is a local crew that has pulled hundreds of failed Tremron units out of Fort Lauderdale’s salt-soaked, high-water-table ground, and we know exactly why they fail here and how to fix them so they stay fixed. Call (754) 354-7423 to talk through your project.
Why Fort Lauderdale Residents Choose Us for Tremron Service
Luca Romano, our owner and lead contractor, started working with concrete and pavers long before Tremron became the default name in Florida hardscapes. He trained at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College reading structural plans, then spent years on jobsites before bringing his crew to Fort Lauderdale. What we’ve learned since is that Tremron products behave differently here than they do inland. The salt air, the afternoon downpours, the hurricane-season wind loads all stress these pavers in ways a brochure never mentions. We carry that field knowledge onto every driveway, patio, and pool deck we touch.
We use genuine Tremron replacement pavers when a color match matters, and we’re blunt about when a repair isn’t worth your money. Our trucks carry the compaction and grading equipment to build bases that survive Fort Lauderdale’s water table, not just look good for the first photo. Every job gets a written price before work starts, photo updates during the project, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s the Relay Standard, and it applies to every Tremron job we take.

Common Tremron Construction Problems We Solve in Fort Lauderdale
- Salt-air spalling at paver edges and corners. Within a mile of the Intracoastal, airborne salt settles onto paver surfaces constantly. Over three to five years, the edges of Tremron units start to crumble and flake. We see it most on las Olas Isles and other waterfront streets. The fix is section replacement with correctly matched units, often paired with a marine-grade polymeric sand that resists salt intrusion.
- Hurricane-driven color fade and surface etching. Blowing sand during summer storms wears down the colored surface layer on Tremron pavers. It’s an abrasive process, and it’s faster here than almost anywhere else in the state. When we assess a fading patio or driveway, we tell you honestly whether cleaning and sealing will buy you time or whether replacement is the only way to get consistent color back.
- Mold and mildew darkening in shaded areas. Fort Lauderdale’s tropical landscaping creates perpetual shade along fence lines and under mature trees. That shade holds moisture, and moisture feeds mold on paver joints and faces. We clean, re-sand with antimicrobial polymeric sand, and reseal where necessary. Some stains are topical; some have penetrated the concrete itself and need a different approach.
- Settling, lippage, and wobbly pavers after heavy rains. The summer wet season dumps inches of rain in hours. If the base wasn’t compacted properly, or if the original installer skimped on crusher run, you’ll see pavers sink and shift within two seasons. We re-grade, re-compact, and reset the affected area with a high-permeability sand so water moves through rather than pooling underneath.
- ‘Floating’ pavers from a high water table. This is the one most contractors miss. Fort Lauderdale sits close to the water table, and when the ground saturates, a poorly prepared base turns into a slurry. Whole sections of driveway can shift as a unit. We build bases specifically for this condition, which is why our jobs hold up season after season.
Tremron Service in Fort Lauderdale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something you won’t read on a generic Tremron page. Fort Lauderdale requires pavers to be set on a well-compacted base with a high-permeability sand because the city sits on a high water table, and improper base preparation leads to floating pavers within two wet seasons. Let me explain what that means in practice. In neighborhoods like Riverside Park or Sailboat Bend, the ground several inches below the surface is often saturated for months at a stretch. Water doesn’t drain away quickly; it lingers. If your base is mostly sand with no crusher run and no proper compaction, the entire paver system moves. Not cracks, not settling: the whole layer floats and shifts. We see driveways that have visibly ‘walked’ two inches toward the street after one hurricane season. The fix is not to shim the pavers or add more sand. It’s to pull the section, excavate deeper, rebuild the base right, and use a permeable sand that won’t hold water against the underside of the pavers. We’ve done this on Nurmi Drive and along the canals off Las Olas Boulevard, and the difference after two wet seasons is the difference between a driveway that still reads as a single surface and one that looks like a pick-up-sticks game.
Tremron Models & Products We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We install, repair, and replace the Tremron lines we see most in Fort Lauderdale: Mega Olde Towne, Holland Stone, Bordeaux Wall, and Turfstone. Each has its own failure profile here. Mega Olde Towne’s large-format surface takes a beating from salt spray; Holland Stone’s tighter joints hold up but need the right polymeric sand; Bordeaux Wall units depend heavily on proper base drainage; Turfstone’s open cells fill with Fort Lauderdale silt and need a specific fill material. We stock genuine Tremron units from Tremron sales & service partners for color-matched section replacement. For structural work, we’re open about using equivalent ASTM-rated units from local yards when they perform as well and cost you less. The honest answer is always the one that serves the driveway, not the parts counter.

AfterTremron Service Pricing in Fort Lauderdale
Prices below reflect what Fort Lauderdale homeowners should expect for the Tremron work we do most. These are installed costs, including base prep, labor, and materials. They won’t cover unusual access issues or a hidden failed base we can’t see until we excavate, which is exactly why we walk the site before quoting.
| Tremron Service | Fort Lauderdale Price Range |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 – $18,000 |
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 – $11,000 |
| Driveway Replacement | $5,000 – $14,000 |
What drives cost: square footage, base depth (Fort Lauderdale’s water table means we often go deeper than a dry-climate contractor would), whether we’re pulling and hauling old concrete, and how much pattern work you want. A patio with a simple running bond costs less than one with inlays and soldier courses, and we also offer our Bathroom Remodeling in Fort Lauderdale. Every estimate starts with a site visit, ends with a written line-item price, and includes the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (754) 354-7423 and we’ll put a number in your hands before anything else happens.

FAQs – Tremron Construction in Fort Lauderdale
Most concrete pavers, including Tremron units, will spall at edges and corners within three to five years when they’re within a mile of salt water. Fort Lauderdale’s Intracoastal-front streets like Nurmi Drive expose pavers to constant salt spray, and that accelerates surface degradation. The best defense is marine-grade polymeric sand in the joints and periodic sealing, but even then, section replacement is a maintenance reality on waterfront properties. Call (754) 354-7423 if you’re seeing chipped edges and we’ll tell you whether sealing will help or whether replacement is the smarter spend.
We recommend a minimum of 6 to 8 inches of compacted crusher run base, with an additional 1 to 2 inches of high-permeability bedding sand, for any Tremron driveway in Fort Lauderdale. That’s deeper than the 4-to-6-inch standard used inland because of the saturated soils and high water table. Anything shallower and you’ll see settling or floating pavers within two wet seasons. We also install edge restraints as a matter of course; without them, the system walks outward under vehicle load.
Surface mold and mildew can usually be cleaned with a professional paver cleaner and a low-pressure rinse, but in Fort Lauderdale’s humidity the stains often penetrate deeper than they do in drier climates. If the staining has worked into the paver itself, we re-sand the joints with an antimicrobial polymeric sand and reseal. Where the stain has gone too deep to clean, we recommend replacing the affected units. Call (754) 354-7423 for an on-site look; we’ll tell you which category your patio falls into and quote it honestly.
Tremron pavers themselves are not the code question; the installation method is. Miami-Dade County product approvals cover the units, but the base, drainage, and edge restraint all have to meet Fort Lauderdale’s wind and water requirements. We build pool decks and surrounding hardscape so the pavers stay put through named storms, with drainage that keeps water from pooling against the pool shell. If your current deck is lifting or shifting after storms, that’s a base issue, not a paver issue, and we can fix it.
That’s almost always a base failure under a single load-bearing point, usually where a car wheel sits repeatedly or where a downspout discharges. Fort Lauderdale’s summer rains saturate the soil under that spot faster than it drains, and if the original base wasn’t compacted properly, the pavers sink. We pull the section, re-grade the base with extra crusher run, improve the drainage path, and reset the pavers. It’s a one-time repair when done right. Call (754) 354-7423 for a free estimate on the section, not the whole driveway.
