About Jacobs Excavating, LLC

Up toward Deer Park, where the road climbs out of town and the fir gets taller and closer together with every switchback, the properties Jacobs Excavating built driveways for are long enough that a homeowner can lose cell signal before reaching the mailbox. Snow up in those foothills behaves nothing like snow downtown — it can be six inches deep a thousand feet up while Port Angeles proper gets nothing but rain — so the same excavator that cut those driveways out of the hillside goes back every winter with a blade to keep them passable. A driveway carved along a grade steep enough to need switchbacks doesn't get a second chance if it ices before it's cleared; the crew learned that the hard way on an early job and hasn't let a storm get ahead of it since. Lower down, where the foothill lots give way to flatter in-town parcels, the plowing is easier but no less necessary — a car that can't get down a hill in the morning is a car that misses the whole day. Jacobs treats the two jobs, cutting ground and clearing it, as the same skill applied at different times of year.
