Area Wide Paving deploys crews along I-20 from Sulphur Springs to Longview every week. Commercial parking lots, residential driveways, sealcoating — owner Paul Pogue on every jobsite, quoted in 24 hours.
Longview is the commercial hub of East Texas — and Area Wide Paving has been laying asphalt across Gregg County for over two decades. Our crews run specialized paving equipment down I-20 from our Sulphur Springs headquarters, arriving ready to work with everything from commercial-grade pavers to precision rollers.
Owner Paul Pogue personally supervises every Longview project. No project managers relaying messages. No subcontractors cutting corners. When you hire Area Wide, you get the owner on your property — the same man who's been paving Northeast Texas since 2003.
Whether it's a church parking lot off Loop 281, a retail surface near the Longview Mall corridor, a residential driveway in Spring Hill, or a commercial pad near LeTourneau University — we bring headquarters-level quality to every Longview job.
Gregg County sits on the East Texas clay belt — heavy, expansive soil that swells during spring rains and shrinks during the brutal summer dry spells. Contractors who ignore this install surfaces that crack, heave, and fail within a few years.
Area Wide Paving has been solving this problem for 20+ years. Every Longview project starts below the surface:
Sub-base compaction — We excavate to stable material and compact in controlled lifts. No assumptions, no shortcuts. The base is the foundation of everything above it.
Proper grading — Every surface is graded to a minimum 2% slope to prevent water pooling — the single biggest cause of asphalt failure in East Texas.
Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) — We use commercial-grade HMA produced at 300°F+ for maximum density and bond. This is state-highway-grade material, not the cold-patch that budget contractors use to save a dollar.
Pothole resistance — Proper compaction + proper drainage + proper mix design = a surface built to handle Longview's freeze-thaw cycles and summer heat without breaking apart. Our installations last 15–20 years.
Longview's soil doesn't forgive bad base work. Paul Pogue has been paving on this clay for two decades — he knows exactly how to build a surface that stays flat, drains clean, and lasts.
Every service below is available to Longview homeowners, businesses, churches, schools, and property managers. Paul quotes within 24 hours and most projects are completed in 1–3 days.
