Asphalt & Paving Services in Forney, TX
HI-TEK Paving is a family-owned asphalt contractor headquartered on S Kelly Rd in Forney, and this is the community we know best. Since 2010, owner Kevin Rowland has grown the company from a single striping machine into a full paving contractor that handles asphalt paving, concrete paving, road construction and parking lot paving for homeowners, businesses and public entities across Kaufman County.
Forney is changing fast. New subdivisions, retail pads and school campuses keep appearing along US-80, FM-548 and FM-740, and every one of them needs pavement that can stand up to Blackland Prairie clay and long Texas summers. Our crews build that pavement from the ground up: grading and base preparation first, then asphalt or concrete placed to spec, then clean striping and a final walk-through with you.
Whether you manage a shopping center off US-80, run a church or business with a worn lot, or want a new asphalt driveway on acreage outside town, HI-TEK Paving gives you one local, insured contractor, clear communication and fair pricing with no last-minute add-ons.
Forney, TX
About Forney, TX
Forney sits on US-80 in western Kaufman County, just east of Mesquite and a short drive from Lake Ray Hubbard. The Texas Legislature named it the "Antique Capital of Texas," and the antique shops along the old highway still give the town its small-town character, even as it has become one of the fastest-growing suburbs on the east side of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.
Much of that growth comes from master-planned communities such as Devonshire, Windmill Farms and Gateway Parks, along with newer neighborhoods spreading north and south of US-80. Forney ISD keeps opening campuses to keep up, and Dallas College has a Forney location. Commercial development follows the rooftops, so new strip centers, restaurants, medical offices and light industrial buildings line US-80, FM-548 and FM-740.
For property owners, that mix means a steady need for new parking lots, private drives, subdivision streets and maintenance on pavement that is already a decade or two old. As a Forney-based company, we are often minutes away from the job site.
Climate & Environmental Factors in Forney
Forney's pavement faces the same forces as the rest of North Texas, but a few stand out. Summers routinely push into the upper 90s and past 100°F, and that heat and UV exposure oxidize asphalt binder, turning a dark, flexible surface gray and brittle. Spring brings severe thunderstorms, hail and heavy rain, often after weeks without measurable rainfall.
The bigger issue is under the pavement. Forney is built on Blackland Prairie clay, the dark, high-shrink-swell soil that swells when wet and shrinks and cracks when dry. Houston Black clay, the official state soil of Texas, is typical of this region. When the subgrade moves, the pavement moves with it, which leads to edge cracking, heaving and depressions that hold water.
Occasional hard freezes, like the February 2021 winter storm, add another stress: water that has worked into cracks can freeze and expand. Good drainage, a well-compacted base and timely seal coating are the best defense for Forney pavement.

Common Pavement Problems in Forney
Most of the pavement failures we see around Forney trace back to soil movement and water. Clay subgrade that was not properly compacted or stabilized during construction lets the surface settle, and the result is cracking along driveway edges, dips in parking stalls and broken pavement near curb lines and inlets.
Other common problems include:
- Alligator cracking in drive lanes of older retail and church lots where delivery trucks and trash trucks turn every week.
- Potholes that open quickly after spring storms when water gets under cracked asphalt. Our pothole repair cuts out the failed area and rebuilds it rather than just filling it.
- Faded, oxidized surfaces on lots that have not been sealcoated in years.
- Worn or confusing striping, missing ADA stalls and faded fire lanes. Parking lot striping is where HI-TEK Paving started, and we still lay out lots with care.
- Ponding water on new-build sites where grading did not leave enough slope.
Catching these early with asphalt repair and crack sealing costs far less than waiting for full reconstruction.

How Do You Build Pavement That Lasts on Forney's Clay Soil?
Pavement in Forney lasts when the base is built for expansive clay. That means removing soft material, compacting the subgrade, adding a properly compacted base course, shaping the grade so water drains away, and then placing asphalt or concrete at the right thickness for the traffic it will carry.
Many early failures we repair in Forney neighborhoods and commercial areas were not caused by the asphalt itself. They came from a thin base, poor compaction or water that had nowhere to go. That is why our site preparation work gets as much attention as the paving.
What should a new commercial lot along US-80 or FM-548 include?
A new lot along Forney's commercial corridors should be designed around how it is used. Drive lanes and dumpster pads see heavy loads, so they often need thicker sections or concrete. Parking stalls can be asphalt. Plan for drainage to inlets or the street, ADA-compliant accessible stalls and routes, and clear fire lane markings from the start.
Asphalt or concrete for a Forney driveway?
Both work in Forney when built correctly. Asphalt costs less up front, is quick to install and is easy to repair, which suits long rural driveways on acreage outside town. Concrete lasts a long time and stays cooler in summer but needs control joints to manage cracking on clay soil. We install both and will explain the trade-offs for your property.
A simple maintenance plan for Forney pavement
- Seal cracks every year or two before water reaches the base.
- Sealcoat asphalt every few years to block UV and water.
- Patch failed areas early with full-depth asphalt repair.
- Restripe when markings fade so traffic flows safely.
- Keep inlets and gutters clear so storm water drains.
Our parking lot maintenance programs bundle these steps so Forney property managers can budget ahead instead of reacting to failures.
