Tremron Driveway & Pavers: The Fort Myers Owner’s Guide
If you have a Tremron paver driveway or patio in Fort Myers and something’s failed, we stock the compatible replacement pavers and can typically install them within the same week. A small paver driveway section repair in Fort Myers usually runs between $400 and $1,800 depending on square footage and substrate condition, while a full paver driveway replacement spans $7,000 to $18,000. Most Fort Myers homeowners discover the problem the hard way: a paver sinks after a heavy summer rain, a stubborn stain won’t lift, or the edge restraint finally lets go and a whole row of pavers slides into the lawn.
We see it across Lee County. The Florida sun bakes the surface. The afternoon thunderstorms saturate the base. Over time, that cycle of extreme wet and dry works the sand out from between the joints, the bedding layer shifts, and a perfectly flat driveway turns into a wavy mess. Tremron makes a solid paver, but no paver survives a failing base. We’re an independent contractor, not affiliated with Tremron, and we’ve been fixing these exact issues across Fort Myers since 2014.
Which Tremron Models This Applies To
Tremron manufacturers pavers in several distinct series, and the right replacement depends on the shape, thickness, and color blend. The three most common lines we install in Fort Myers are the Estate Stone series (tumbled, old-world look), the Mega Olde Towne series (larger format, two-piece system), and the traditional Holland Stone. Each has different dimensions. An Estate Stone paver runs roughly 6″x9″ with a tumbled edge, while a Mega Olde Towne uses a 12″x12″ field stone paired with a 6″x6″ accent. Mismatching the thickness is the single biggest mistake we see on DIY repairs. Most Tremron driveway pavers are 60mm thick. Using a 40mm patio paver on a driveway that sees vehicle traffic guarantees cracking within the first year. Flip a loose paver over and check the mold stamp on the bottom. That stamp tells you the series and the production date, which helps us match the color blend precisely because dye lots shift over time. For Fort Myers homes built in the mid-2000s boom, we often have to blend two dye lots to get a seamless match on an older installation.
Signs Your Tremron Driveway & Pavers Is Failing
- Pooling water on the surface. This means the underlying slope or base has failed. The pavers themselves are fine, but the bedding sand has eroded and the gravel base is no longer draining properly. In Fort Myers, where we get 55 inches of rain a year, standing water accelerates joint sand loss and attracts ants that tunnel underneath.
- Sunken or depressed areas, especially near the garage apron. This is almost always a base compaction problem. The original installer skimped on the crushed concrete or limestone base, and years of vehicle weight plus our sandy soil created a soft spot. You can’t just add sand on top. The pavers have to come up, the base rebuilt, and the pavers reinstalled.
- Loose, wobbling pavers along the edge. The plastic or aluminum edge restraint has snapped or pulled away from the spikes. Once the border goes, the entire field of pavers can shift outward. This one’s an easy fix if caught early. Let it go, and you’re looking at resetting a much larger section.
- White, chalky haze spreading across the surface. That’s efflorescence, common on Tremron pavers in humid climates. It’s a cosmetic issue, not structural, but the salts leaching through the concrete can’t simply be pressure-washed off without a proper cleaner. Scrubbing with the wrong acid etches the surface permanently.
- Polymeric sand washing out after every rain. This tells us the joints are too wide or the sand was never activated correctly during the original installation. In Fort Myers, an improperly filled joint invites weeds, weeds invite roots, and roots push pavers apart. It’s a slow-motion failure that takes a couple of years but always ends the same way.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
A targeted paver repair in Fort Myers, patching a small failed section of a Tremron driveway, runs between $400 and $1,800. The spread depends on whether we’re simply swapping broken pavers and re-sanding joints, or pulling up a sunken area, excavating bad base material, re-compacting, and reinstalling. Full paver driveway replacement ranges from $7,000 to $18,000, driven by square footage, paver thickness, any demo and haul-off of existing concrete underneath, and the depth of base we need to build for our soil conditions here in Lee County. Every quote is line-item upfront pricing, no surprises. Derek Hollenbeck has built his reputation in Fort Myers on that. The work includes removal of the failed section, base repair or regrade, paver installation matched to your existing Tremron color and pattern, polymeric sand, and edge restraint repair. Every paver job we do is covered by our 730-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s the whole point.

DIY or Call Us?
You can safely check a few things yourself. Identify which Tremron model you have by looking at the stamp on the bottom of a loose paver. Note the color. Measure whether the paver is 40mm or 60mm thick. Count how many pavers are damaged. That information saves time when you call us. What we don’t recommend is digging out a sunken section if you’re not sure why it failed. If the base is the problem, and in Fort Myers with our sandy soil and heavy rains it usually is, swapping pavers on top doesn’t fix anything. The new pavers will sink again by next season. For anything involving more than a handful of loose pavers or any base work at all, call (844) 638-7249. A bad base repair turns a $600 job into a $3,000 re-do, and nobody wants that. We answer the phone with a live person, 24/7. No voicemail, no waiting.
FAQs
A properly installed Tremron paver driveway on a compacted base in Fort Myers will last 25 to 40 years. The pavers themselves are high-compression concrete rated for our climate. What shortens that lifespan dramatically is a bad base. We’ve pulled up 8-year-old driveways that were trashed because the installer used sand instead of crushed concrete underneath and the whole thing shifted.
Yes, absolutely. If the base is solid and only a few pavers are cracked or stained, we can pull and swap individual stones in a couple of hours. The challenge is color matching. Older Tremron pavers will have faded in the Florida sun, so we bring several dye lots to blend the repair into the surrounding field. Call (844) 638-7249 and we’ll come take a look. Estimates are free.
We stock the most common Fort Myers Tremron models and colors on our trucks: Estate Stone in Chestnut and Sierra, Mega Olde Towne in Harvest Blend, and Holland Stone in Red/Charcoal. If your specific color or series isn’t on the truck, we can source it from the local Tremron yard typically within two business days. We also regularly work with Belgard, Techo-Bloc, and other paver brands across Lee County.
A minor paver replacement with no base work takes half a day. A section repair requiring base excavation, re-compaction, and reinstallation usually takes one to two days. A full driveway replacement typically runs three to five days from demo to final sanding. Most repairs we complete in a single visit, weather permitting. Fort Myers afternoon storms can push things a day, but we’ll tell you that upfront.
If your Tremron driveway or patio isn’t holding up the way it should, call us at (844) 638-7249. We’ll send a background-checked, uniformed technician to your Fort Myers home, assess the failure honestly, and give you a written price that covers exactly what needs to happen. No change orders, no vague hand-waving. We don’t just break ground - we build something worth standing on.
