Tremron Construction in Broadmoor, CA | San Mateo Construction
We’re San Mateo Construction, an independent contractor providing Tremron paver and hardscape work across Broadmoor. We install, repair, and maintain Tremron driveways, patios, and retaining walls, and we offer South San Francisco Tremron service as well. What makes our Tremron service different here is simple: we build to San Mateo County’s unincorporated-area inspection standards, not a city’s, and we plan around Broadmoor’s tight lots and fog-belt weather before the first block gets set. Call (855) 901-7266 to schedule a free estimate.
Tremron Service in Broadmoor
Broadmoor sits fully inside ZIP 94015, surrounded by Daly City on every side, yet it runs on county rules. That single fact shapes every Tremron paver driveway, patio, and retaining wall we build here. We’re not a manufacturer rep and not an authorized dealer. We’re a licensed general contractor who has worked with Tremron products long enough to know where they succeed and where the local climate punishes shortcuts, and we also serve as our General Contractor in Broadmoor.
Noel Carrington leads our crews. He grew up a few miles south in Baywood, pouring concrete footings with his father on weekends. He studied construction at Skyline College, then spent nearly three decades running residential and light commercial jobs across San Mateo County. When it comes to Tremron systems, he’ll tell you what you actually need, and we’ll figure out the right way to build it.
Our Tremron sales & service work runs across the whole peninsula, and Broadmoor is one of the places we know best. The houses are mid-century stucco tract homes on small lots. Driveways are short and narrow. Backyards are tight. Every cubic yard of base material and every pallet of pavers has to be staged with care because there’s simply nowhere to put things on these streets.
We serve all of Broadmoor and the rest of our Broadmoor service area, from the blocks near San Pedro Road up toward the San Bruno Mountain slope. If you’re planning a paver project or nursing an old Tremron installation that’s showing its age, call (855) 901-7266. Estimates are free and we’ll walk the site with you.

Why Broadmoor Residents Choose Us for Tremron Service
Tremron makes a range of concrete paver and block products: the Oldcastle structural retaining wall systems, Mega Oldon drive pavers, Plaza series pavers, and StoneWall retaining blocks. Each behaves differently under load, under moisture, and under the steady onshore wind that rolls through Broadmoor most afternoons.
We’ve replaced enough failed paver bases here to know that the real problem is rarely the Tremron block itself. It’s usually water. Fog, light rain, and irrigation collect against the tight lot lines and sit under the pavers. When the base isn’t drained correctly, you get shifting, efflorescence, and cracked joints within a few seasons. We build with that failure in mind from the first day of excavation.
Noel’s approach is material-specific and honest. If your existing Tremron pavers are structurally sound and we can source a genuine color match, we’ll say so. If the right long-term call is replacement, we’ll explain why and show you the cost difference. No pressure, no upselling. Tell me what you actually need, and we’ll figure out the right way to build it.
Common Tremron Construction Problems We Solve in Broadmoor
These are the issues we see most often on Broadmoor properties, and each one ties back to the way this particular place behaves.
- Efflorescence and salt bloom. West-facing paver surfaces in Broadmoor catch the marine fog almost nightly. Moisture pulls minerals up through the concrete and leaves a white, chalky residue on the surface of Tremron pavers. It’s cosmetic in most cases, but if the base isn’t draining, it comes back season after season. We clean it properly and address the water path so it doesn’t return.
- Joint sand washout on sloped driveways. Broadmoor’s lots slope toward the street, and the wind drives rain sideways. Polymeric sand that was never properly activated, or base sand that was never compacted, washes through the joints and leaves pavers rocking. On a Mega Oldon driveway, that means blocks start to shift and chafe against each other within a couple of winters. We re-seat, re-level, and re-sand with a quality aftermarket poly that outperforms the cheap stuff.
- Retaining wall settlement and rotation. Tight side yards mean retaining walls get pushed hard on Broadmoor lots. When county-required drainage wasn’t installed behind the block, or the original base wasn’t deep enough, the wall leans and blocks start to rotate. Tremron Oldcastle and StoneWall blocks are heavy and durable, but they will move if water builds up behind them. We rebuild with proper drain rock and perforated pipe, then set the blocks back to county spec.
- Surface spalling and color fade. Decades of coastal damp, salt air, and the occasional freeze-thaw cycle take a toll on older Tremron pavers. The surface starts to pit, the color goes flat, and small cracks appear along the edges. We can replace individual blocks where matching is feasible, or re-top the whole surface if the damage is widespread.
- Failed bases under tight lot lines. Many Broadmoor homes have paver driveways or walkways that were installed years ago by someone who never addressed the drainage along the lot edge. Water pools, the base erodes, and the pavers sink. This is the most common full-replacement job we take on here. We excavate to county-required depth, install a proper drainage bed, and rebuild from the bottom up.
Tremron Service in Broadmoor: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Broadmoor is unincorporated. That sounds like a bureaucratic footnote, but for anyone with a Tremron paver driveway or retaining wall, it’s the difference between a project that moves on time and one that stalls. Every paver driveway replacement, every retaining wall over a certain height, every significant patio build here goes through San Mateo County building inspection, not a Daly City city desk. The county’s inspection windows are tighter than what homeowners in the surrounding city get, which means material deliveries and street staging have to be locked in weeks ahead. On narrow streets like the ones off San Pedro Road, we can’t just drop a flatbed of Mega Oldon blocks and hope the inspector shows up. We schedule the excavation, the delivery, and the inspection as one sequence. If the inspector’s window shifts, we have a backup plan. Homeowners who’ve done projects here know exactly what we’re talking about.
That fog belt also does things to concrete that homeowners in drier parts of the county never see. The same marine moisture that feeds the moss on Broadmoor’s north-facing fences is what’s feeding the efflorescence on your pavers. The answer isn’t just a surface cleaner. It’s a base that sheds water and joints that hold under wind-driven rain. We’ve seen too many Broadmoor driveways fail early because someone treated the job like a dry-climate install. We don’t build that way here.
Tremron Models & Products We Service in Broadmoor
We work with all the Tremron product lines you’re likely to find on Broadmoor lots: the Mega Oldon pavers for driveway and heavy-load use, Plaza series for patios and walkways, and the Oldcastle structural retaining wall system and StoneWall blocks for grade changes and tight side yards.
On every job, we source genuine Tremron replacement blocks when color and dimensional match matters. When a customer needs a patch on a 15-year-old patio, we want the same block from the same mold family, otherwise the repair reads as a patch forever. For joint sand and drainage components, we’ll use quality aftermarket products when they outperform the original spec. A good polymeric sand holds the joints better under Broadmoor’s wind and water than what many installers used a decade ago.
Because we’re licensed by San Mateo County and carry an independent general contractor’s insurance package, we can pull permits, schedule inspections, and manage the whole job without passing you between three different trades.

AfterTremron Service Pricing in Broadmoor
What does Tremron work cost in Broadmoor? It depends on what’s already under the pavers. A straight re-sand and seal costs far less than a full base replacement. Here are the ranges we quote most often in this part of the county:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Paver Driveway Installation | $7,000 – $18,000 |
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 – $11,000 |
| Driveway Sealing | $250 – $700 |
Cost drivers in Broadmoor include whether the county requires a full-depth excavation (most old driveways do), whether we’re working against a tight lot line that needs hand-tool work, and whether you want a premium Tremron series or a standard line. A written estimate breaks all of this down by line item, so you know exactly where the money goes before anyone picks up a shovel. Call (855) 901-7266 and we’ll schedule a free site walk.
On a recent Mega Oldon driveway replacement off San Pedro Road, we found the original base had been laid directly over clay with no drainage. The pavers were sinking at the lot edge where water pooled. We excavated to county spec, put in a proper drainage bed with compacted base rock, and re-set the new blocks with polymeric joint sand. Then we scheduled the county inspection on the first window available. The homeowner got a stable driveway that sheds water away from the foundation instead of under it.

FAQs – Tremron Construction in Broadmoor
Yes. Because Broadmoor is unincorporated, paver driveway replacements and most hardscape work fall under San Mateo County permitting. We handle the permit package and the inspections, and we schedule everything around the county’s window so the job doesn’t stall. Call (855) 901-7266 and we’ll walk you through what your specific project triggers.
That’s efflorescence, and in Broadmoor it’s driven by the marine fog that saturates pavers on a regular cycle. Water moves through the concrete, dissolves minerals, and deposits them on the surface as the water evaporates. The fix is partly cleaning and partly making sure your base drains. If the base holds water, the efflorescence returns every season. Call (855) 901-7266 for an exact assessment and a price to correct the drainage.
Yes, in most cases. We source genuine Tremron replacement blocks and check the dimensional and color match before we set anything. That said, if the original pavers have faded significantly in the sun, even a perfect factory match will read differently against the old surface. We’ll show you a sample and tell you honestly whether a patch or a full replacement is the better long-term call for your money.
This is one of the biggest differences between working in Broadmoor and working a few miles south in a larger-lot neighborhood. We coordinate deliveries to arrive in small, movable drops. We don’t leave a flatbed of pavers blocking a neighbor’s driveway or the fire lane. Our crew works with hand carts and dolly routes instead of assuming a forklift can reach the back edge of the lot. It takes more planning, which is exactly what we do.
Yes, and it’s not negotiable. Broadmoor’s tight side yards and minimal setbacks mean a retaining wall that’s fine in a city jurisdiction can still trigger county review here, especially if it’s over three feet or bearing on a property line. We survey the lot lines, check the county height and setback requirements, and design the wall to pass inspection without burning weeks of back-and-forth. Call (855) 901-7266 to get the specifics for your lot.
