Tremron Construction in Lehigh Acres, FL | Groundwork Construction Co. of Fort Myers
If you’re searching for a Tremron contractor in Lehigh Acres who actually understands why pavers fail on these specific lots, you’ve found us. We’re an independent Tremron service provider, not a factory-authorized dealer - which means our recommendations come from job-site experience across Lehigh Acres, not a corporate spec sheet. Call us at (844) 638-7249 and we’ll explain what’s different about your property before we ever quote a dollar figure.
Most Tremron installers in Southwest Florida treat every slab of ground the same way. They can’t do that here. Lehigh Acres sits on flat pine flatwoods with a water table that rises within inches of the surface during wet season, and tens of thousands of legacy lots were platted in the 1950s with no stormwater infrastructure whatsoever. We build Tremron hardscapes that survive those conditions because we’ve been fixing the ones that didn’t. Our full-scope Tremron services - Tremron sales & service, paver patios, driveways, retaining walls, and hardscape repairs - cover every corner of Lehigh Acres service area with the same approach: figure out what the ground is doing first, then build accordingly.
Why Lehigh Acres Residents Choose Us for Tremron Service
Derek Hollenbeck grew up in the Iona area of Fort Myers and trained at Lorenzo Walker Technical College in Naples before spending two decades running crews across Lee County. He’s seen what happens when contractors skip site prep on a Lehigh Acres legacy lot - and he’s rebuilt enough of those failures to know exactly what prevention costs versus what repair costs two years later. Our team doesn’t guess at base conditions. We dig test pits. We check the seasonal water mark. On lots where the platted access road is still an unpaved dirt track, we coordinate with Lee County Public Works on utility stub locations before engineering begins.
Every Tremron project we take on is backed by our 730-Day Done Right Promise - if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s one of the longest workmanship guarantees in residential construction, and it’s not marketing language. It’s a statement about what we expect from our own work. Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to treat your property like it’s in their own neighborhood. When you call (844) 638-7249, a live person answers - 24/7, no voicemail black hole. Upfront pricing means the number you see is the number you pay, and for larger Tremron hardscape projects, 0% financing for 18 months and $1,000 off projects over $10,000 make the investment accessible without surprises.
Common Tremron Construction Problems We Solve in Lehigh Acres
- Base settlement and edge sinking on Tremron Sierra patios. On legacy lots with a high seasonal water table, the original fill underneath is often just compacted pine scrapings that turns to soup after a wet summer. Within two years, Sierra pavers along the edges start dropping and shifting out of alignment. We strip the saturated base, lay heavy geotextile, and rebuild with compacted aggregate before a single paver goes back down.
- Sand-joint washout on Park Avenue pavers around pool decks and screen enclosures. Lehigh Acres sees intense summer ponding because there’s no canal drainage network like Cape Coral’s. When water sits on flat slabs for days, it pumps sand out of the joints on Park Avenue pavers until they’re rocking loose underfoot - a serious trip hazard around a pool. We excavate, install perimeter drainage, and re-set with polymeric sand that handles wet conditions far better than standard joint sand.
- Corner spalling and surface pitting on older Hollandstone driveways. Many Hollandstone driveways installed during the 2003-2008 building boom predate current compacted-base standards. Add the weight of post-Hurricane Ian construction vehicles - loaded dump trucks, concrete mixers, skid steers - and you get consistent corner spalling and surface pitting. We can replace damaged units with genuine Tremron Hollandstone pavers matched to the existing color blend, then re-compact the base to handle modern loads.
- Hydrostatic pressure cracks on Mega-Lafitt retaining walls. Lehigh Acres’ dense pine flatwoods soil holds water against the back of a retaining wall like a sponge. When Mega-Lafitt walls were built without deep vertical drainage behind them, hydrostatic pressure builds and cracks the bottom course. Our fix involves excavating behind the wall, installing high-flow drainage mat and a perforated pipe at the base, and replacing the cracked units.
- Paver misalignment from heavy post-Ian reconstruction traffic. The inland Category 4 winds from Ian tore through Lehigh Acres and the rebuild is still underway years later. Driveways never engineered for constant heavy vehicle traffic are developing ruts, dips, and shifted pavers. We assess whether the base can be salvaged with targeted re-compaction and re-setting or whether full replacement is the cheaper long-term call.
Tremron Service in Lehigh Acres: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something you won’t hear from a contractor who works mostly in Fort Myers or Cape Coral. On Lehigh Acres’ mass-platted 1950s legacy lots, there is no existing stormwater infrastructure - no curb-and-gutter, no municipal drain, no canal tie-in. That means any new Tremron hardscape plan has to include an engineered swale or perimeter drain built into the design from day one. Skip it, and the flatwoods water table will hydrostatically pump fines up through the paver joints during the first wet season, leaving you with a wavy, uneven surface and sand-joint washout by August. Cape Coral avoids this expense thanks to its 400-mile canal network. Lehigh Acres doesn’t have that luxury, and a contractor who doesn’t know the difference will hand you a quote that looks cheaper up front and costs twice as much to fix two years later. We saw exactly this on a job off Gunnery Road North - a 1959 concrete-block home where we pulled up a cracked slab to find saturated pine scrapings as the original fill. We cut it all out, laid geotextile, built up with six inches of aggregate, trenched a French drain, and set Tremron Sierra pavers in a St. Augustine pattern. Two wet summers later, not a single paver has shifted.
Tremron Models & Products We Service in Lehigh Acres
We work with Tremron’s full residential hardscape lineup across Lehigh Acres - Sierra, Park Avenue, Mega-Lafitt, and Hollandstone are the models we see most often on local properties. For paver repairs, we source genuine Tremron units from Florida distributors so the color blend matches what’s already on your patio or driveway. For base and drainage components, we use proven aftermarket materials - heavy geotextile, open-graded aggregate, and high-flow drainage mat - that consistently outperform the original spec in Lehigh Acres’ wet flatwoods conditions. We stock common Tremron replacement pavers and edging locally for same-week turnaround on most repairs. Full replacement makes sense only when joint settlement, edge migration, or base failure has progressed past the point where targeted repair actually saves you money - and we’ll tell you straight which bucket your project falls into.
Tremron Service Pricing in Lehigh Acres
Hardscape pricing in Lehigh Acres depends heavily on what’s under the ground before we start. A straightforward paver patio on a well-compacted lot looks very different on a quote than the same patio on a legacy lot requiring full base excavation and drainage work. Here’s what our Tremron paver work typically runs:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 - $11,000 |
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 - $18,000 |
Every estimate is free and comes as a written line-item quote so you see exactly what you’re paying for - no change orders appear out of nowhere mid-project. We’ll walk the site with you, check base conditions, and explain what needs to happen before we ask for a signature. Call (844) 638-7249 to schedule yours.

FAQs - Tremron Construction in Lehigh Acres
The paver itself isn’t the problem - it’s what’s underneath. Many Lehigh Acres lots platted in the 1950s and 60s were filled with loosely compacted pine scrapings that were never engineered to support a hardscape. When seasonal water saturates that fill, it loses bearing capacity and the pavers above start sinking, regardless of how recently they were installed. The fix is removing the saturated base entirely, laying geotextile, and building back up with compacted aggregate before re-setting the pavers. Call (844) 638-7249 and we’ll tell you whether your lot needs that level of prep.
Yes, we can source genuine Tremron Hollandstone pavers in the original color blend and match them to your existing driveway for spot repairs or partial replacement. Keep in mind that decades of Florida sun will have faded the older units, so a newly manufactured paver even in the same blend won’t be a perfect visual match on day one - but it will weather in over a season or two. For larger replacements, we’ll talk through whether a full overlay or a different pattern makes more sense for your home’s curb appeal.
Probably, if the grade drops off toward the swale. A Mega-Lafitt retaining wall keeps your patio sub-base from eroding into the drainage area during heavy summer rains, which Lehigh Acres gets regularly. The wall needs vertical drainage behind it - perforated pipe and drainage mat - or hydrostatic pressure will crack the bottom course within a few wet seasons. We design the wall and drainage as one system, not two separate afterthoughts. Call (844) 638-7249 for a site evaluation and a quote that covers both.
We pull the affected pavers, excavate down to a stable sub-base, install perimeter drainage to move water away from the enclosure footprint, and re-set the Park Avenue units with polymeric sand. Standard joint sand washes out almost immediately in Lehigh Acres’ summer ponding conditions - polymeric sand activates with water and hardens into a flexible bond that handles wet-dry cycles far better. If the base underneath has already eroded, we rebuild it before the pavers go back down.
A properly installed Tremron paver driveway on a compacted aggregate base will handle normal residential vehicle traffic without issue - including the occasional delivery truck or concrete mixer. The problem we see across Lehigh Acres is driveways built before Ian on minimal base that are now getting constant heavy vehicle traffic from reconstruction work. If your base is undersized for what it’s being asked to do, we can re-compact and re-set the existing pavers or replace the driveway with a base spec’d for heavier use. Call (844) 638-7249 and we’ll assess what you’ve got.
