Quickset LongviewAsphalt Paving
Quickset Longview Asphalt Paving serves Kilgore, TX with parking lot paving, driveway paving, and crack sealing, and has worked in Gregg County since 2017 with a crew that understands how East Texas clay and Piney Woods conditions affect every job.
Kilgore's commercial strip along US 259 and the interchanges near I-20 carry steady daily traffic, and business parking lots along those corridors take more punishment than most owners realize. Our parking lot paving work in Kilgore accounts for the heavier loads from delivery trucks and the base instability that comes with the area's clay-heavy soils, so the finished surface holds up season after season.
A large share of Kilgore homes were built during or just after the oil boom years, and driveways on those older lots have had decades of clay soil movement and tree root pressure working against them. When cracks have spread beyond simple repair, a new asphalt driveway installed on a properly prepared base is the clean fix that lasts.
Kilgore gets heavy spring rains, and any open crack in a driveway or parking lot becomes a direct path for that water to reach the base layer. Once the base is saturated, more serious damage follows quickly. Crack sealing is the most cost-effective way to protect Kilgore pavement before the spring rain season begins.
The combination of intense East Texas sun and high humidity accelerates oxidation in asphalt, making surfaces brittle and gray within a few years of installation. Regular sealcoating restores flexibility and blocks UV damage, which is especially important on surfaces that bake under the summer heat along Kilgore's highway corridors.
Rental properties near Kilgore College and older commercial lots along the US 259 corridor often have potholes that have been patched repeatedly without addressing the drainage or base conditions underneath. We make repairs that address the cause, not just the surface, so the same spot does not fail again next season.
Tree roots from the pines and oaks that are common on Kilgore residential lots push under asphalt and lift it from below, creating raised edges and cracked sections that are both a tripping hazard and an entry point for water. Targeted repair addresses the damage without requiring a full repaving job when only a portion of the surface has failed.
Kilgore sits in the Piney Woods region of East Texas, and that setting creates a specific set of challenges for any paved surface. The heavy clay soils that underlie most of the city expand when the spring rains come and contract through the dry heat of summer. That seasonal movement is relentless, and pavement that was not built with proper drainage and a compacted base will show cracks and settlement within a few years. Contractors who have not worked in this part of East Texas often underestimate how much the soil movement here differs from the drier conditions farther west.
The age of Kilgore's housing stock adds another layer. Homes built during the oil boom era of the 1930s through the 1960s have had decades of tree root growth pushing under driveways, and the mature pine and oak canopy that makes the neighborhood streets so attractive is the same system that fractures older pavement from below. On commercial properties along US 259 and near the I-20 interchanges, heavy vehicle traffic accelerates the wear that clay soil movement starts. Understanding these specific conditions is what allows us to prepare a base that holds up here rather than one that works well in other parts of Texas but fails in Kilgore's environment.
Our crew works throughout Kilgore regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect asphalt paving contractor work here. Kilgore sits at the junction of Interstate 20 and US Highway 259, which means commercial properties near both corridors see not just local traffic but regional through-traffic from drivers moving between Longview and Shreveport or heading north and south on 259. That traffic load is something we account for when recommending pavement thickness and base depth on commercial jobs in this part of the city.
The older neighborhoods closer to downtown and near Kilgore College are where we most often encounter the combination of aging asphalt and mature tree root systems that characterize oil-boom-era properties. The East Texas Oil Museum on the Kilgore College campus and the historic World's Richest Acre site downtown are a short drive from some of the neighborhoods where we do a significant share of our residential work in the city.
We also serve nearby communities including White Oak, TX just north along US 259, and Longview to the west. If you are in Kilgore or anywhere in the surrounding area, call us and we will get back to you within one business day to schedule an on-site visit.

(430) 267-1875Kilgore is a small city of roughly 13,000 to 15,000 residents straddling the Gregg-Rusk County line in East Texas. The city grew rapidly after the discovery of the East Texas Oil Field in 1930, and much of its residential and commercial fabric dates from that era through the mid-20th century. Downtown Kilgore still carries the mark of its oil history - the site known as the World's Richest Acre once held a dense cluster of oil derricks and remains one of the most recognized historic sites in East Texas. Kilgore College, which has been part of the community since the 1930s, is one of the city's anchor institutions and home to the nationally recognized Kilgore College Rangerettes.
The city sits in a wooded Piney Woods landscape with mature pines and hardwoods on most residential lots, and the older neighborhoods near downtown have an established, small-city character. Newer commercial development clusters near I-20 and US 259, where the highway interchanges bring a mix of local and regional traffic. Kilgore neighbors Longview to the west and Gladewater to the north, making it a natural service stop between those larger communities.
