1 Concrete Leveling Contractors in Woodbine, New Jersey

Woodbine is a borough in north-central Cape May County, southern New Jersey, situated on the southern edge of the famous New Jersey Pine Barrens and just a few miles inland of the barrier islands, along Route 550 in the Pine-Barrens-and-Cohansey-Sand-and-Baron-de-Hirsch-agricultural-colony country of north-central Cape May County. Woodbine was founded in 1891 as a settlement for Eastern European Jews; the Baron DeHirsch Fund, organized by philanthropist Maurice de Hirsch, purchased 5,300 acres of land in Dennis Township in Cape May County to start a settlement, and immigrants from Poland and Russia were invited to settle the new community (the documented 1891 Baron-de-Hirsch-Fund-5,300-acre-Eastern-European-Jewish-settlement legacy). Within two years, they cleared the forest and built a settlement with thriving farms, with 800 acres of land set aside as town lots; using modern agricultural practices under the direction of agriculturist and chemist Hirsch Loeb Sabsovich, the first colonists turned Woodbine into a model agricultural community (the documented Hirsch-Loeb-Sabsovich-model-agricultural-community legacy). The Woodbine Agricultural School was started in a small way in 1893 by the trustees, and gradually enlarged from year to year to meet the demands of Jewish youths for instruction in agriculture; through the hard work and perseverance of the original settlers, Woodbine became the largest Jewish agricultural colony in southern New Jersey (the documented 1893-onward Woodbine-Agricultural-School and largest-Jewish-agricultural-colony-in-southern-New-Jersey legacy). The population in 1905 was 1,900, of whom 94 percent were Jews; in 1905 the borough proper had 223 private houses, these and the outlying farmhouses being inhabited by 325 families (the documented 1905-1,900-population-and-94-percent-Jewish legacy). Woodbine was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 3, 1903, from portions of Dennis Township (the documented March-3-1903 Woodbine-Borough-era legacy). Today Woodbine (population 2,128 at the 2020 census) is a north-central-Cape-May-County Pine-Barrens-and-Cohansey-Sand-and-Baron-de-Hirsch-agricultural-colony borough with significant documented 1891 Baron-de-Hirsch-Fund-5,300-acre-Eastern-European-Jewish-settlement legacy, Hirsch-Loeb-Sabsovich-model-agricultural-community legacy, 1893-onward Woodbine-Agricultural-School and largest-Jewish-agricultural-colony-in-southern-New-Jersey legacy, March-3-1903 Woodbine-Borough-era legacy, New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve membership, and late-nineteenth-and-early-twentieth-century Baron-de-Hirsch-colony-and-Pine-Barrens-and-agricultural-village residential and agricultural-commercial character. Woodbine sits on the Pine-Barrens-and-Cohansey-Sand terrain of southern New Jersey, on the southern edge of the New Jersey Pine Barrens within the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system. Bedrock beneath Woodbine is principally the Tertiary Outer-Coastal-Plain sequence (Cohansey Sand, Kirkwood Formation), with the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer at depth. Above bedrock, surficial materials include Cohansey-Sand-derived residual-sand on the Pine-Barrens upland parcels (with documented Cohansey-Sand-ortstein-hardpan and high-infiltration-and-low-cohesion character), Pleistocene Bridgeton Formation terrace sand-and-gravel on the upland parcels, Holocene Pine Barrens cedar-swamp peat-and-muck on the Atlantic-white-cedar-swamp parcels, Holocene West Creek and Great Cedar Swamp alluvium and floodplain deposits on the stream-valley flats, and historic Baron-de-Hirsch-colony-and-Pine-Barrens-village-fill on the densely-developed parcels. Local soils run Lakewood sand on the Pine-Barrens Cohansey-Sand upland parcels (with documented Cohansey-Sand-ortstein-hardpan character), Downer sandy loam on the better-drained Pine-Barrens upland parcels, Sassafras sandy loam on the Bridgeton-terrace upland parcels, Woodstown sandy loam on the moister terrace parcels, Fallsington sandy loam on the poorly-drained parcels, Atsion sand on the seasonally-wet Pine-Barrens parcels, Berryland sand on the very-poorly-drained Pine-Barrens parcels, Hammonton loamy sand on the moister upland parcels, Carlisle and Adrian muck on the Atlantic-white-cedar-swamp parcels, Pope fine sandy loam on the West Creek alluvial flats, Bowmansville silt loam on the floodplain parcels, and historic Baron-de-Hirsch-colony-and-Pine-Barrens-village-fill on the densely-developed parcels. That Pine-Barrens-and-Cohansey-Sand mantle with Lakewood-Downer-Sassafras-Woodstown-Fallsington-Atsion-Berryland-Hammonton-Carlisle-Adrian-Pope-Bowmansville Cohansey-Sand-and-terrace-and-cedar-swamp-and-alluvium-derived subgrades, Lakewood-sand and Cohansey-Sand-ortstein-hardpan parcels with documented high-infiltration-and-low-cohesion character, Atsion-Berryland and Carlisle-Adrian very-poorly-drained and cedar-swamp-muck parcels with documented very poor slab-bearing conditions, Holocene West Creek alluvial-and-floodplain bottomland parcels, the historic 1891 Baron-de-Hirsch-Fund-5,300-acre-settlement, Hirsch-Loeb-Sabsovich-model-agricultural-community, 1893-onward Woodbine-Agricultural-School, and March-3-1903 Woodbine-Borough-era foundations, late-nineteenth-and-early-twentieth-century Baron-de-Hirsch-colony-and-Pine-Barrens-and-agricultural-village foundations, West Creek and Great Cedar Swamp hydraulically-connected stage cycling on the bottomland parcels, and steady Route 550 corridor cut-and-fill on the recent corridor parcels is the primary driver of slab movement here.
