Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Keene’s Preferred Driveway & Pavers Company

We’re an owner-operated outfit, which means the name on the truck is the same name that answers the phone. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When we pour a driveway in Keene, the person who shakes your hand at the quote is the same person whose crew shows up to do the work. No franchise dispatcher, no rotating cast of subcontractors.

Keene’s a community where word travels fast, and we’ve earned our reputation here the slow way: showing up when we say we will, putting every scope change on paper before it becomes a surprise, and backing everything with a 90-Day Done Right Promise. One call brings Tom back. We also respect how Keene operates. This is a town anchored by Southwestern Adventist University, and a meaningful share of our neighbors observe the Sabbath from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. That means we don’t schedule pours or run crews on Saturdays in Keene. Sunday through Friday, no exceptions. If a contractor shows up Saturday morning and starts working, they’re not from here and they didn’t bother learning. We did.

You can look up Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number before you sign anything. We’d encourage it. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is why we pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job. That’s how we operate in Keene, from the older mid-century streets near campus to the newer tract homes built south toward Cleburne.

Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Keene

Paver Driveways

A paver driveway in Keene typically runs $7,000 to $18,000, and it’s the best answer to our expansive clay soils. Pavers flex as the ground moves, where a rigid slab cracks. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers because they’re brands you can look up, with color and pattern choices that hold up to Texas sun without fading to chalk. Permeable paver designs also help keep water from pooling against your foundation, which matters on the gently sloping lots near the university.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work

A new concrete driveway in Keene runs $4,500 to $12,000, depending on square footage and whether you want a stamped or brushed finish. We spec the mix for North Texas clay, with proper base compaction and control joints cut at intervals that account for our heave-and-shrink cycle. A stamped concrete driveway gives you the look of stone or brick at a lower price point than real pavers, and it’s popular on the newer homes in the 76059 zip code.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing

Asphalt paving in Keene starts around $3,500 and tops out near $9,000 for a full tear-out and repave. Asphalt is the budget-friendly choice, and it handles our freeze-thaw swings well when the base is done right. Resurfacing can extend the life of an existing asphalt driveway for a fraction of the cost of replacement, but it only works if the base is still sound. We’ll tell you honestly which one you need.

Driveway Repair & Replacement

Full driveway replacement in Keene runs $5,000 to $14,000. What we see most often is concrete that’s been in place since the mid-century homes were built, with cracks that started as hairline and widened through years of clay expansion. Sometimes a repair is all that’s warranted, sometimes the slab’s past saving. We’ll walk the driveway with you, explain what’s structural and what’s cosmetic, and put it in writing. If the fix can wait, we’ll say so. If it can’t, we’ll show you why.

Trusted Brands We Service in Keene

We install materials with names you can verify, not mystery brands off a van. For hardscapes, that means Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers. For any adjacent roofing or window work we touch, we carry GAF shingles and Andersen windows. What that means for Keene homeowners is that when a color match or warranty claim comes up, there’s a real distributor behind the product and a real answer available, not a shrug. We stock common replacement parts locally in the DFW metro, and our scheduling to Keene is coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office. We’re close enough that a follow-up visit isn’t a big production.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Keene Homes

• Clay soil heave and slab cracking. Keene sits on Blackland Prairie clay that swells after wet winters and shrinks through dry summers. Driveways that weren’t built with proper base compaction and jointing crack along predictable lines, and we see it across both the older mid-century homes and the late-90s and newer tract builds.
• Drainage undermining driveway edges. Lots near Southwestern Adventist University have gentle grades that send runoff toward driveway edges and garage aprons. Without proper grading or a channel drain, water works under the slab edge and creates voids that eventually cave in.
• Ice storm spalling on older concrete. Keene takes periodic hard ice storms, and older concrete with any moisture penetration gets surface spalling when freeze-thaw cycles hit. The top layer flakes off, leaving rough patches that only get worse.
• Asphalt oxidation from North Texas sun. Asphalt driveways dry out and gray over time from UV exposure. Sealing every two to three years can significantly extend the life of an asphalt driveway in Keene, and we handle sealing for $250 to $700 depending on driveway size.
