Professional Excavation Services in Snohomish, WA

Storm Lake Paving provides professional excavation services for residential, commercial, and municipal projects throughout Snohomish and surrounding areas. Proper excavation is the foundation of any successful asphalt project, drainage solution, or site development effort. Without correct excavation, even the best asphalt installation can fail prematurely.

Formerly known as JD Hunt Paving, our team continues to deliver the same dependable workmanship and attention to detail that property owners have trusted for years. We approach every excavation project with precision, safety, and long-term performance in mind.



Whether excavation is part of a paving project or a standalone service, Storm Lake Paving ensures the groundwork is done correctly from the start.

Why Professional Excavation Matters

Excavation is more than just moving dirt. It involves carefully removing soil, preparing subgrades, managing elevations, and ensuring proper drainage. Poor excavation can lead to settling, cracking, water damage, and surface failure.



Professional excavation helps:

• Create a stable foundation for asphalt
• Prevent uneven settling and surface damage
• Improve drainage and water management
• Support long-term pavement performance
• Reduce costly repairs in the future

Storm Lake Paving understands how soil conditions, moisture levels, and grading impact long-term results.

Excavation for Asphalt Paving Projects

Excavation plays a critical role in asphalt paving success. Storm Lake Paving provides excavation services designed to support durable, long-lasting pavement installations.



Our paving-related excavation services focus on:

• Removing unsuitable soil and materials

Excavation for Driveways, Parking Lots & Roads

Storm Lake Paving provides excavation services for a wide range of applications, including residential driveways, commercial parking lots, private roads, and access lanes.



Excavation considerations include:

• Traffic load requirements
• Drainage patterns
• Soil stability
• Long-term usage

Each excavation plan is customized to ensure the finished surface performs as intended.

Drainage-Focused Excavation

Water management is a key component of excavation. Improper drainage allows water to weaken the base beneath pavement, leading to premature failure.



Storm Lake Paving incorporates drainage-focused excavation techniques to address:

• Surface water flow
• Subsurface moisture
• Pooling and low spots
• Erosion concerns

By shaping the site correctly during excavation, we help protect asphalt and surrounding structures.

Soil Evaluation & Subgrade Preparation

Not all soil provides adequate support for pavement or structures. Storm Lake Paving evaluates soil conditions during excavation to determine whether stabilization or replacement is required.



Subgrade preparation may include:

• Removing unstable soil
• Compacting existing materials
• Adding suitable base materials
• Ensuring uniform support

Proper subgrade preparation is essential for long-term durability.

Excavation for Repairs & Replacements

Excavation is often required for asphalt repairs and full pavement replacement. Storm Lake Paving provides targeted excavation services to address damaged areas without unnecessary disruption.



Repair-related excavation helps:

• Remove failed pavement sections
• Address base deterioration
• Prevent recurring damage
• Restore structural integrity

This approach ensures repairs are effective and long-lasting.

Excavation requires careful planning and execution to maintain safety and accuracy. Storm Lake Paving follows proven procedures to ensure excavation work is performed responsibly.



Our excavation process prioritizes:

• Clear site planning
• Safe equipment operation

• Accurate depth and slope control

Attention to detail ensures excavation supports the success of the entire project.
