Tremron Driveway & Pavers: The Austin Owner’s Guide
We install and replace Tremron paver driveways in Austin for $7,000 – $18,000 depending on square footage, site prep, and the specific Tremron product line you have. When a driveway fails, it’s rarely the whole thing at once. Most Austin homeowners call us because one section has settled, pavers have cracked along the edge, or water is pooling where it never used to. We stock Tremron-compatible replacement pavers and can match most existing patterns same-week.
A quick note before we go further: Mason Remodeling Co Austin is an independent contractor. We’re not affiliated with Tremron, but we’ve installed and repaired their products across Austin for years, and we know their catalogs well enough to match patterns, colors, and joint styles without guesswork. If you’re looking at a failing driveway, patio, or walkway, here’s what you need to know before you spend a dollar.
Which Tremron Models This Applies To
Tremron makes a wide range of concrete pavers, and Austin homes tend to have three or four product lines more than anything else. We regularly work with the Mega series (Arbel, Mega Olde Towne, Mega Lafitt), the standard Olde Towne line, and the Holland series. Each has its own thickness and dimensional quirks, and that’s where compatibility gets tricky.
Most Tremron driveway pavers are 60mm thick, but some older Austin installations used 80mm commercial-grade pavers, especially for driveways with heavier vehicle traffic or on sloping lots. Before you order anything, measure a paver from a spot that’s already loose, or pull one from an edge. The thickness tells us which replacement will sit flush. Color codes matter too. Tremron runs batch-to-batch color variation, so a paver poured in 2025 won’t always match one from 2018. We pull from multiple Austin distributors to find the closest match, and when exact match isn’t possible, we’ll tell you before you pay, not after the job’s done. As for OEM versus aftermarket equivalents, for Tremron specifically we recommend staying with genuine Tremron pavers on any visible surface. Aftermarket copies exist, but the dimensional tolerance is loose enough that joints start looking ragged within a year.

Signs Your Tremron Driveway & Pavers Is Failing
- Settling or low spots that hold water after rain. This is the most common failure we see in Austin, and it’s almost always a base problem, not a paver problem. The limestone-heavy soil here shifts with drought and heavy rain cycles, and a base that wasn’t compacted properly in the first place will telegraph through the surface within a few years.
- Edge pavers cracking or breaking loose. Driveway edges take the most abuse from car tires and mower wheels. Without proper edge restraint, the outside rows start drifting outward, and once the pattern opens up, water gets in and accelerates the damage.
- Wide, uneven joints between pavers. Polymeric sand breaks down over time, especially under Austin’s UV exposure. When joints wash out, pavers lose lateral support and start shifting against each other. You’ll hear a hollow clack when you step on loose ones.
- White, chalky residue across the surface. That’s efflorescence, and it’s common with concrete pavers in humid climates. It’s rarely structural, but it means moisture is moving through the paver, which points to drainage issues underneath.
- Sunken area around the driveway apron or garage approach. The transition zone where the driveway meets the street or garage slab takes concentrated weight. If the base wasn’t built up properly there, it’s the first section to drop.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
A full Tremron paver driveway replacement in Austin runs $7,000 – $18,000 installed. Most average two-car driveways land between $10,000 and $14,000. Partial repairs, where we’re re-setting a section and replacing a few dozen pavers, usually run $800 – $3,000 depending on how much base work is needed.
Here’s what drives the range: how much excavation the existing base requires, whether we can reuse any of the current pavers, access to the site, and the Tremron product line being matched. Every quote we give you is a written, line-item price before work starts. That includes labor, materials, haul-away, and any base repair or new bedding sand. No change orders, no surprise invoices at the end. Your paver work is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if something’s not right within a year of completion, we come back and make it right at no cost to you.

DIY or Call Us?
Pavers are one of the safer materials to work with, but the paver itself is never the hard part. The base is. If you have one or two cracked pavers and a stable base underneath, you can pop them out with a pry bar, replace them, and sweep new polymeric sand into the joints. That’s a Saturday job.
The problems start when pavers have shifted or settled. That means the base underneath has failed, and re-setting pavers on a failed base gets you another six months before it sinks again. We’ve also seen DIY repairs go sideways when someone orders the wrong thickness or color and ends up with a patch that looks worse than the original problem. If you’re not sure whether your base is sound, call us at (903) 623-1966. We’ll take a look, tell you what’s actually going on, and give you a written price for whatever it needs. No charge for the estimate.
FAQs
Tremron driveway pavers typically last 25 – 40 years in Austin when the base was built correctly, but the polymeric sand in the joints needs refreshing every 3 – 5 years due to our UV exposure and rain cycles. The pavers themselves rarely fail; it’s almost always the base, the joints, or the edge restraint that goes first.
Yes, if the failing section is localized and the base under the surrounding area is still solid, we can pull the affected pavers, repair the base, and re-set them. If settling is widespread or the base was never compacted properly, a full replacement is usually cheaper per square foot than trying to piecemeal it.
A standard two-car Tremron paver driveway in Austin takes 3 – 5 working days from excavation to final compaction and joint sand, depending on access and weather. Partial repairs usually take a single day.
We keep common Tremron Holland and Olde Towne pavers in several standard colors on hand for repair work, and we source less common series and colors from Austin distributors on a per-job basis. If your color or series isn’t something we stock, we’ll tell you upfront and give you a lead time before we start.
Yes, alongside Tremron we regularly install and repair Belgard, Unilock, and Techo-Bloc products, plus we handle related hardscape materials the same way we handle our cabinetry lines like KraftMaid and surfaces like Cambria or Silestone: spec-grade products, installed to the same written-price standard.
If your Tremron driveway is settling, cracking, or just not draining like it used to, call (903) 623-1966. Tell me what’s wrong with it. We’ll figure out what it actually needs. Then you’ll get a written price before any work starts, no surprises after.
