Excavation Services for Paving & Site Preparation

Proper excavation is the foundation of any well-built paved surface. Before asphalt goes down, the ground beneath it needs to be properly cut, graded, and compacted — and that work has to be done right. At J. Hunziker Asphalt Paving, we handle excavation as part of our paving projects and as a standalone service for site preparation, grading, and material removal across the Capital District and Mid-Hudson Valley. Whether it’s clearing ground for a new driveway or prepping a commercial site, we bring the same attention to detail underground as we do to the finished surface above it.

Site Preparation & Clearing

We clear and excavate sites ahead of paving, grading work, or construction — removing material and establishing the proper grade for what comes next.

Grading & Base Preparation

Correct grading is critical for drainage and long-term pavement performance. We grade and compact base material to spec before any asphalt is installed.

Material Removal & Haul-Away

We remove and haul off excavated material, old pavement, and debris so your site is clean and ready for the next phase of work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about excavation services? Here are a few things we hear from homeowners and contractors getting projects off the ground. Give us a call to talk through your site needs.

Do you handle excavation as a standalone job, or only as part of a paving project?

Both. We take on excavation and grading as standalone site prep work, and we also handle it as part of larger paving and construction projects. If you're not sure whether excavation is part of what you need, reach out and we'll help you sort it out.

How important is base prep for a long-lasting driveway or parking lot?

It's everything. The finished asphalt surface is only as good as what's underneath it. Proper excavation, grading, and base compaction are what prevent the cracking, settling, and drainage issues that show up down the road. We don't cut corners on sub-base work.

Can you handle excavation for larger commercial or municipal sites?

Yes. We work on commercial and municipal projects throughout the Capital Region and have the equipment and experience to handle site prep at scale. Contact us to discuss the scope of your project and get a quote.
