We’ve worked on enough homes in Devonshire, Travis Ranch, and Clements Ranch to know what Forney’s clay does to flatwork. The crew that shows up at your door is led by Tom Barrett’s sons, not a rotating cast of subcontractors who’ve never seen a Kaufman County soil map. Our Driveway & Pavers team has been laying paver driveways, stamped concrete, and asphalt resurfacing across the DFW area since 1998, and we treat your driveway like it’s got to survive the next decade of Forney weather, not just the next spring.

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

Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998 and still answers his own phone. That matters more in Forney than most places, because this town grew so fast in the 2010s that plenty of homeowners got burned by out-of-town crews who poured a driveway, collected a check, and disappeared into the next subdivision phase. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can look him up before you sign anything, and you can find him at the hardware store on Saturday.

Every job we do in Forney gets a written change order before any scope change touches the ground. If the clay under your driveway turns the excavation into a bigger dig than we quoted, you’ll see the new number in writing and you’ll approve it before we keep going. We don’t do surprise invoices. And every driveway, patio, and walkway we complete is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something’s not right, one call brings Tom back.

Forney customers also get our published standing offers: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate from another contractor, no trip charge inside Kaufman County, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount. A live person answers the phone 24/7, and the crew that shows up is background-checked and wearing the Barrett & Sons name on their shirts.

Our Driveway & Pavers Services in Forney

Paver Driveways

Paver driveways hold up better than poured concrete on Forney’s expansive clay because the individual units flex instead of cracking. We install Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers systems with proper base compaction and edge restraint, which is the difference between a paver driveway that still looks level in 2035 and one that develops a washboard ripple after two wet-dry cycles. For the sprawling brick-veneer homes in Travis Ranch and Clements Ranch, a paver driveway adds curb appeal that matches the upscale feel of those master-planned communities.

Concrete Driveways & Concrete Work

Concrete driveways in Forney need deeper base prep than the same job would need in, say, Rockwall County, because Blackland Prairie clay moves so much. We excavate, compact, and install proper reinforcement so your slab doesn’t crack along the first seam of a dry August. Stamped concrete is popular in Forney’s newer subdivisions where HOAs want a stone look without stone pricing. A typical Forney stamped concrete driveway runs $4,500-$12,000 depending on pattern and footage.

Asphalt Driveways & Resurfacing

Asphalt works well for the longer rural driveways you still see on the east side of Forney, where properties haven’t been swallowed by subdivision build-out yet. We handle new asphalt paving and resurfacing, and we’ll tell you honestly when a full replacement beats a resurface. Asphalt paving in Forney typically runs $3,500-$9,000, and resealing every two to three years keeps the surface from oxidizing under the Texas sun.

Driveway Repair & Replacement

Hairline cracks in a Forney driveway can turn into trip hazards and water intrusion points fast, especially when fall rains hit the clay after a long dry summer. We do full replacements and targeted repair, including slab lifting where the soil movement has left a low corner. Driveway replacement in Forney runs $5,000-$14,000. If you’re seeing cracks wider than a quarter-coin or sections that have dropped more than an inch, that’s a structural problem, not a cosmetic one, and it won’t fix itself.

We also handle patios, walkways, and pool decks in Forney, and if your driveway project turns into a larger outdoor vision, we can tie in a new patio or walkway so the whole property flows together. For bigger structural work on the house itself, our Home Additions & ADU in Forney crew handles the same kind of projects that often run alongside driveway and hardscape work, especially when homeowners are reworking an entire exterior.

Trusted Brands We Service in Forney

We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off the back of a van. For paver driveways and patios in Forney, we regularly work with Techo-Bloc, Cambridge Pavers, and Oldcastle products. For concrete work, we use Quikrete mixes and industry-standard admixtures. We keep relationships with local Forney and Kaufman County suppliers so material turnaround stays short and you’re not waiting three extra weeks on a backorder from out of state. When you call for a quote, we’ll tell you exactly which paver or concrete product we’re pricing, and you can look up the specs before you commit.

Common Driveway & Pavers Problems We See in Forney Homes

• Sinking slabs from Blackland Prairie clay movement. Forney’s Houston Black clay shrinks during hot, dry DFW summers when weeks pass without rain, then heaves with fall moisture. That cycle lifts and drops concrete driveways, opening cracks and separating control joints. Proper base compaction and moisture management at installation is the only real defense.
• Cracks spreading through 2012-2018 boom-era construction. Homes built in Forney’s fastest growth years are now hitting the 7-12 year mark where the clay beneath slabs has gone through enough wet-dry cycles to reveal movement. Hairline brick cracks and sticking interior doors often show up at the same time as driveway settling.
• Drainage problems where flatwork was sloped wrong. Forney sits slightly east of Dallas and picks up marginally more rain than western DFW suburbs. When a driveway slopes toward the house instead of toward the street, stormwater funnels into the garage and foundation. We see this most in homes where the original builder graded for speed, not for water.
• Asphalt oxidation on long rural driveways. The sun east of Dallas is just as brutal as anywhere in North Texas, and unsealed asphalt loses its binder within a few years, turning gray and brittle. Regular sealing at $250-$700 per application is far cheaper than resurfacing at $3,500 and up.
