Insights

Mergers & Acquisitions Strategist

ROAD expands Houston footprint through strategic acquisition of Durwood Greene, enhancing vertical integration and market penetration in high-growth Texas metro areas.

Construction Partners' acquisition of Durwood Greene represents a strategic expansion in the Houston metro area—the fifth largest and one of the fastest-growing metropolitan regions in the U.S. This transaction adds three hot-mix asphalt plants and a rail-serviced aggregates terminal to ROAD's Texas operations, significantly strengthening their vertical integration capabilities.

The acquisition brings approximately 200 employees into the ROAD family and positions the company to capitalize on operational synergies with their existing Lone Star Paving business. Specifically, Durwood Greene will now be able to purchase liquid asphalt cement from Lone Star's Channelview terminal, driving additional throughput and improving operational efficiency.

This move follows ROAD's previous acquisition of Lone Star Paving and demonstrates a systematic expansion strategy targeting Texas's largest metropolitan markets. Under this approach, ROAD now has established operations in three of Texas's four largest metro areas, creating a substantial footprint in a state characterized by strong economic growth, favorable demographics, and a well-funded transportation program.

Maintaining leadership continuity is a key aspect of this transaction, with Durwood Greene's management team—Brad, Jonathan, and Daniel Greene—continuing to lead operations. This retention of experienced industry veterans should facilitate integration while preserving customer relationships and operational knowledge.

For ROAD, this transaction represents more than just expanded capacity—it's a calculated move to strengthen their position in a high-growth Sunbelt market with substantial infrastructure needs and funding. The vertical integration opportunities mentioned suggest potential margin improvements and competitive advantages as they pursue additional organic and acquisition growth in Texas.
