Kaufman, TX
About Kaufman, TX
Kaufman is the seat of Kaufman County, located about 34 miles southeast of Dallas. US-175 connects it to Crandall and Dallas to the northwest, SH-34 runs north to Terrell and south toward Kemp, and SH-243 heads east toward Canton. The Kaufman County Courthouse and the downtown square remain the center of county government and local business.
The town's history goes back to 1840, when Dr. William P. King established a hilltop fort called Kings Fort. The community, known as Kingsboro, became the county seat in 1852 and was renamed Kaufman. The railroad arrived in the early 1880s, connecting the town to Dallas.
Today Kaufman combines a historic downtown, established neighborhoods and the farmland and ranch properties that surround it. As Kaufman County has become one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation, new homes and businesses are spreading toward Kaufman, and county roads, private drives and commercial lots are all seeing more traffic than ever.
Climate & Environmental Factors in Kaufman
Kaufman sits on the Blackland Prairie, where deep, dark clay soils are excellent for farming but difficult for pavement. These soils swell after heavy rain and shrink and crack during dry spells, moving pavement edges and the base beneath them.
Summers bring long stretches of upper-90s and 100°F-plus heat that oxidizes asphalt, while spring storms can drop heavy rain on dry ground. On flat, open land, water does not always drain quickly unless the pavement is crowned and ditches are maintained. Occasional hard freezes add stress to pavement that already has cracks.
Rural driveways and private roads around Kaufman also carry trucks, trailers and farm equipment that put heavy loads on narrow pavement. A properly prepared base, good drainage and regular maintenance, including crack sealing and sealcoating, are the keys to long-lasting pavement here.

How Do You Build a Private Road on Kaufman County Clay?
Building a private road on Kaufman County clay starts with grading the route and shaping a crown so water sheds to ditches on both sides. Remove soft soil, compact the subgrade, build a strong base and pave with asphalt thick enough for the heaviest vehicles that will use it. Maintain the ditches so water keeps draining.
Why drainage matters on the Blackland Prairie
Clay soils lose strength when they are saturated. A road or driveway that holds water on its surface or along its edges will soften, rut and crack. Crowning the pavement, cutting ditches or swales and installing culverts where needed keep water away from the base.
Choosing the right pavement thickness
A driveway that sees only cars needs less structure than a ranch road used by livestock trailers, hay trucks or equipment. We ask how the road will be used and design the base and asphalt thickness to match. Our road construction and site preparation services cover the full process.
Upgrading gravel to asphalt
Many Kaufman-area properties have gravel drives that require constant regrading. Paving them with asphalt reduces maintenance, controls dust and improves access in wet weather. Existing gravel can sometimes serve as part of the base after it is regraded and compacted.
Downtown, church and commercial lots
For businesses and churches in Kaufman, we repair failed areas, sealcoat and restripe existing lots, and build new lots for growing congregations and businesses through our parking lot paving service.
Public and municipal work
HI-TEK Paving works with residential, commercial and municipal clients. Public entities can count on attention to specifications, clear communication and safe, clean work zones.
Simple maintenance tips
- Seal cracks as they appear.
- Keep ditches and culverts clear.
- Avoid parking heavy equipment on pavement edges.
- Sealcoat asphalt every few years.
Serving Kaufman and the county
We serve Kaufman, Crandall, Terrell, Forney, Kemp and rural properties throughout Kaufman County.
Asphalt or concrete for a Kaufman property?
Asphalt is usually the practical choice for long driveways and private roads because it costs less per foot, installs quickly over long distances and is simple to patch. Concrete makes sense for shop aprons, equipment pads, dumpster pads and short drives where loads are concentrated. We install both, so we can recommend the right material for each part of your property, and our crew can complete the whole job in one visit when the plan calls for both.
