Tremron Home Additions & ADU: The West Palm Beach Owner’s Guide
If you’re planning a home addition or ADU in West Palm Beach and want Tremron pavers, retaining wall blocks, or patio stones worked into the design, we install them as part of the build. A full home addition in West Palm Beach typically runs $45,000 – $130,000, while a detached ADU lands between $90,000 – $220,000 depending on square footage, foundation work, and finish level. Most owners discover their Tremron products have failed not during the build, but years later, when Florida’s wet season pushes water under a patio and the pavers start sinking, or a retaining wall begins leaning after a heavy summer storm.
What we see most often in West Palm Beach neighborhoods like Flamingo Park, El Cid, and Southland Park is a base problem, not a paver problem. The Tremron block itself is usually fine. What failed is what’s underneath it. That distinction matters because it changes the repair scope completely, and it changes the price. Graham Stein walks every Tremron-related job site himself before any quote is written, because the fix for a sinking paver patio next to a home addition is rarely just “pull the pavers and reset them.” It’s usually a drainage correction, a base rebuild, and then the reset.
We’re an independent remodeling contractor in West Palm Beach. We’re not affiliated with Tremron, but we’ve worked with their pavers, wall blocks, and edging products on additions, ADUs, patios, and driveways across Palm Beach County long enough to know which products hold up in this climate and which ones fight you.
Which Tremron Products This Applies To
Tremron manufactures concrete pavers, retaining wall systems, and hardscape edging in several product lines, and the compatibility question depends on what you’re tying into. If your West Palm Beach home addition includes a new patio, walkway, or driveway apron, you’re likely working with Tremron’s paver lines like the Mega Olde Towne, Venice, or贝壳 series in various thicknesses. If the addition or ADU required a grade change, you may have a Tremron retaining wall system, typically the Diamond or Highland Stone blocks.
The identification part matters. Tremron stamps product codes on the underside of most pavers, and wall blocks usually have a visible mold mark on the back face. But the more useful check is thickness. Tremron pavers come in 60mm and 80mm profiles for pedestrian areas, while driveway-rated pavers are 80mm or 100mm depending on the series. We’ve seen owners try to match a 60mm patio paver to an 80mm driveway paver and wonder why the surface looks wrong. It’s not a color mismatch. It’s a depth mismatch. For any Tremron product connected to a home addition or ADU in West Palm Beach, we confirm the series, the thickness, and the color batch before ordering a single replacement unit. If you don’t have the original product code, we measure the paver and match it visually against current Tremron samples.
On the OEM versus aftermarket question: Tremron’s color blends are proprietary. A generic concrete paver from a big-box store won’t match the aggregate color or the surface texture, and it weathers differently under South Florida sun. For a visible hardscape tied to a home addition, we order genuine Tremron product. For hidden structural work, like a base course or a drainage course under a paver patio, a quality compacted aggregate from a local Palm Beach County supplier works just as well and costs less.
Styles & brands we work with
Signs Your Tremron Home Additions & ADU Hardscape Is Failing
- Pavers sinking or dipping in one area: Almost always a base failure underneath, usually from water getting into the sand or aggregate layer. In West Palm Beach, the wet season from May through October pushes groundwater up under patios and walkways, and if the base wasn’t compacted properly or the drainage wasn’t sloped, the pavers settle unevenly.
- Sand washing out between paver joints: This tells you water is moving through the surface faster than the joint sand can hold. You’ll see small piles of sand after rain, especially at the low edge of a patio or walkway. Left alone, the pavers start shifting sideways because the joints lose their locking material.
- Retaining wall leaning or bulging at the middle: A Tremron retaining wall that leans is usually a drainage problem behind the wall, not a block problem. When water builds up behind the wall and can’t escape through a drainage course or weep holes, hydrostatic pressure pushes the wall outward. In West Palm Beach’s saturated summer soil, this happens faster than most owners expect.
- Edging pulling away from the hardscape: Tremron concrete edging that separates from the pavers usually means the spikes or embedment failed. This is often a simple fix, but it’s a sign the base is moving, and if the base moves, the pavers will follow.
- White chalky residue on paver surfaces: That’s efflorescence, and it’s common in West Palm Beach’s humid, salt-adjacent air. It’s not structural damage, but it’s a signal that moisture is moving through the pavers, which can accelerate surface wear over time.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
For a home addition or ADU hardscape scope in West Palm Beach, the range is wide because the work varies so much. A straightforward addition with a new Tremron paver patio might land at the lower end of $45,000 if the site is flat and accessible. An ADU with retaining walls, drainage corrections, a driveway apron, and a raised foundation can push toward $130,000 and beyond when the structure itself is included.
Here’s how the numbers break down for common Tremron-related scopes in West Palm Beach:
- Home addition (full build, including hardscape tie-in): $45,000 – $130,000
- ADU construction: $90,000 – $220,000
- Garage conversion: $30,000 – $80,000
- Patio paver reset (base rebuild + paver reset, no new structure): $3,500 – $11,000
- Retaining wall rebuild (Tremron block, drainage correction): $4,000 – $12,000

DIY or Call Us?
You can safely observe a few things on your own. Check whether the low spot on your Tremron paver patio is growing after each rain. Look at where water pools. Note whether joint sand is washing out after storms. That’s useful information for us, and it costs you nothing.
What we don’t recommend is pulling pavers and rebuilding a base yourself, especially on a hardscape connected to a home addition or ADU. The base compaction, the drainage slope, and the edge restraint all need to be right or the same failure comes back within a year or two. And if there’s a retaining wall involved, a leaning wall can fail during a heavy storm, which becomes a safety issue for anyone walking below it. That’s work for a crew that does it regularly, not a weekend project. Call us at (728) 203-3270 and we’ll start with a site visit and a written scope.
FAQs
A properly installed Tremron paver patio or walkway in West Palm Beach should last 25 – 40 years with periodic joint sand top-ups and an occasional re-level of low spots. The paver itself rarely fails. What shortens the lifespan here is water in the base, which is why drainage and compaction matter more than the paver brand.
Yes, most of the time. If the pavers themselves are intact, we pull the affected area, rebuild the base with proper compaction and drainage, and reset the same pavers. You only replace individual units that are cracked or worn. Call (728) 203-3270 for a free estimate on a paver reset.
A typical paver patio reset next to a home addition takes 2 – 5 working days in West Palm Beach. A retaining wall rebuild usually runs 3 – 7 days depending on the wall’s length and height. We give you a firm start and end window in writing before the work begins.
We don’t keep Tremron pavers and wall blocks sitting on a shelf. We order them per project from Tremron’s South Florida distribution network, which keeps the color batch consistent and lets us match your existing product. The lead time is typically 3 – 10 business days, and we fold that into the project schedule. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll confirm availability for your specific product.
If you have a home addition or ADU in West Palm Beach with Tremron hardscape that’s failing, or you’re planning new work, we’ll walk the site, write the scope, and put a price in your hands before anything starts. We also work with KraftMaid cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone countertops when the addition includes interior finishes. Call (728) 203-3270 to schedule your free estimate.
