AfterTremron Construction in Miramar, CA | Barrett & Sons Construction
We provide independent Tremron paver installation and repair across Miramar, and there’s one thing that makes our work here different from any other contractor’s: we sequence your hardscape job around Broward County’s pre-Andrew structural retrofit triggers. If your home was built before 1994, your Tremron driveway quote may need to include hurricane tie-downs, and we handle both under one permit so you’re not paying for the same excavation twice. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Barrett & Sons Construction has been laying Tremron pavers in South Florida for over 29 years. We’re not a Tremron dealer and we don’t claim to be. We’re an independent Tremron sales & service contractor who buys direct and installs for homeowners across Miramar service area ZIP 33023. Tom Barrett grew up watching crews pour foundations in the San Fernando Valley, learned the trade at LA Trade-Tech, and has spent two decades building and remodeling homes. His sons run crews here now. The name on the truck is the name that answers the phone.
Why Miramar Residents Choose Us for Tremron Service
We know the difference between a paver that’s settling because the base was never compacted and a paver that’s settling because Miramar’s water table rose two feet during a wet September. That distinction is the whole job. Most contractors in Broward County will lay Tremron pavers the same way they’d lay them in Orlando. That’s a mistake. Our crews have excavated enough 33023 driveways to know what’s under the slab before we quote the job: saturated marl, thin original concrete, no rebar, and no roof-to-wall connection. We price for what we’ll actually find.
We use genuine Tremron pavers and matching sand and aggregate when we can get them, because color and size continuity matter when you’re patching a patio instead of rebuilding it. Base stabilization, though, gets local materials engineered for high-water-table conditions, not whatever bagged sand is on sale at the big box. Tom Barrett has been doing this long enough to know that the job never lies, and the permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we like him.
Common Tremron Construction Problems We Solve in Miramar
- Settling and upheaval from base erosion. Miramar’s water table sits 2 to 4 feet below grade, and in older sections of 33023 the original subgrade was never built to today’s compaction standards. When the base beneath Olde Towne or Cottage Stone pavers washes out, the whole field starts to roll.
- Edge restraint failure along driveways. Flat-roof CBS ranch homes from the 1950s and 60s often shed roof water straight onto paver edges. No edge restraint survives that forever. We rebuild the restraint with a concrete toe and re-slope the drainage so water never pools at the border again.
- Efflorescence and salt bloom. Older concrete slabs in Miramar wick moisture upward through the paver bedding course, pulling minerals with it. You’ll see white powder on the pavers even after pressure washing. The fix is usually a vapor barrier and a drainage layer under fresh bedding sand, not more sealant.
- Cracking and chipping of Holland Stone pavers. Those narrow 1950s-era driveways in eastern Miramar see heavy vehicle loads, and the original subgrade lacks modern compaction. Holland Stone carries weight well, but not when the ground beneath it flexes. We fix the base, not just the broken paver.
- Hurricane tie-down flags during permit review. This one surprises homeowners. We open up a wall for a structural tie-in on an addition near a new paver patio, and the inspector finds no hurricane clips connecting trusses to the CBS wall. Now the paver job includes a structural retrofit. We’ve seen it dozens of times.
Tremron Service in Miramar: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
In Miramar’s 33023 ZIP, almost any new Tremron paver driveway or patio attached to a pre-1994 CBS home requires a structural review for missing hurricane tie-downs. That’s not a hardscape issue on its face. It becomes one when the permit reviewer looks at the roof-to-wall connection and finds no straps, no clips, nothing but gravity holding the trusses down. The city then requires a full tie-down upgrade before they’ll sign off on the paver permit. Our paver quotes in eastern Miramar often bundle a loose beam or strap retrofit as a line item, because we know it’s coming. This mandate is not found in neighboring Pembroke Pines, where most homes are post-Andrew and structurally compliant by birth. Homeowners who’ve never done Kitchen Remodeling - Miramar or other projects in 33023 are always surprised by it. We mention it on the first call so the price on paper is the price at the door.
On a 1962 CBS rancher along Southwest 64th Avenue in Miramar, our crew removed a cracked concrete driveway and found the original slab was only 3 inches thick with no rebar, directly atop saturated marl. We excavated 10 inches, installed a geotextile separator with crushed limestone base compacted in lifts, and laid Tremron Olde Towne pavers in a herringbone pattern. During the same job we added hurricane clips to the truss-to-wall connection after the city inspector flagged missing straps during the permit review, a common extra step we also plan for during Bathroom Remodeling - Miramar. That’s how we work here.
Tremron Models & Products We Service in Miramar
We install and repair the full Tremron residential line you’re likely to see on Miramar driveways and patios. That includes Olde Towne Paver, Cottage Stone, Mega-Arbel, and Holland Stone. Each one has a different thickness, joint width, and load rating, and we match the paver to the use, not to what’s stacked in a warehouse. For repairs, we use genuine Tremron pavers where color and size continuity matters. For base reconstruction, we source high-quality local aggregates engineered for Broward County’s high-water-table conditions. If you have an older Tremron installation with severe base failure, we’ll recommend full base reconstruction rather than patching individual stones. Patching only moves the movement problem around.

FAQs - Tremron Construction in Miramar
Because the water table sits 2 to 4 feet below grade and the original subgrade on pre-1994 homes was never compacted to current standards. A 4-inch base works fine in dry, stable soil. In Miramar’s saturated marl, it washes out within a few seasons. We typically excavate 10 inches and compact crushed limestone in lifts with a geotextile separator. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what your driveway actually needs.
It depends on the age of the home and whether the patio ties into the house. In 33023, if the home is pre-1994 and the paver job attaches to the structure, the permit reviewer may flag missing hurricane tie-downs and require a retrofit. We tell you upfront if that’s likely on your property. Estimates are free.
Olde Towne Paver and Cottage Stone both read as original to that era. Olde Towne has a tumbled, weathered edge that suits the low-slung CBS ranch look. Cottage Stone works well for smaller patios and walkways where you want a tighter joint. We’ll bring samples to your house in Miramar so you can see them against your terrazzo.
That’s efflorescence, and it’s usually moisture wicking up through the bedding course from an old concrete slab or saturated subgrade. Pressure washing removes the surface bloom but not the source. We install a vapor barrier and drainage layer under fresh bedding sand to stop it from coming back. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free assessment.
We rebuild the base. Patching individual pavers on an uncompacted base just shifts the movement to the next joint over. Full base reconstruction means excavation, geotextile separation, compacted stone, and fresh bedding sand before re-laying the pavers. It costs more up front, but you won’t be calling us again in two years. We’ll put the quote in writing before any work starts.
