About Hudson Paving & Excavation

Many of our clients are business owners, developers, or project managers who want to build a

new building from the ground up. The problem is which excavation contractor to trust with such

a daunting task. We empathize with the challenges in making this choice.

Our promise to you is to provide a transparent process through the many steps required. We

understand how quickly a project can be slowed to a crawl, and become grossly over budget.

With our 4 decades of experience and an Engineering background, our plan is to:

● Understand the goals, desires, and budget constraints.

● Use our vast experience with government regulations to avoid timely and costly pitfalls.

● Provide a project on time and within budget.

The outcome will be a project in which the owner, the builder, and the management

professionals can be proud to have been involved.

The excavation subcontractor is normally the largest financial part of a ground-up construction

budget. Typically running between 10% to 20% of the total costs. It also has the most unknowns

that can result in costly change orders and time delays. We recommend that you hire your Site

Contractor as early in the construction process as possible. If you choose us we will advise on a

site location, review utility options, and prepare preliminary budgets.

Please give us a call today for a no-cost Site Work assessment.

The first recorded use of asphalt as road-building material was in Babylon around 625 BC, during the reign of King Nabopolassar. The ancient Greeks were also familiar with asphalt, and the word "asphalt" itself comes from the Greek term "asphaltos", meaning "secure" or "steadfast."

Early Road Construction: In the early 19th century, Scottish engineer John McAdam pioneered the construction of roads using broken stones bound together with tar, a method known as "tarmacadam." This marked a significant advancement in road construction.

In the late 19th century, asphalt began to gain popularity as a road-building material in the United States. The first asphalt pavement was laid in Newark, New Jersey, in 1870. The increasing popularity of automobiles in the early 20th century further fueled the demand for asphalt roads. 

Over the years, asphalt technology has continued to evolve. Today, asphalt pavements are designed to withstand heavy traffic loads and extreme weather conditions. Innovations such as polymer-modified asphalt and warm-mix asphalt have further enhanced the durability and sustainability of asphalt roads.

-  3000 BC: Egyptians use asphalt for waterproofing and mortar.

-  625 BC: Babylonians use asphalt for road construction.

-  Early 19th Century: John McAdam pioneers tarmacadam road construction.

-  Late 19th Century: Asphalt gains popularity in the United States.

-  Early 20th Century: Automobile boom fuels demand for asphalt roads.

Continued advancements in asphalt technology, including polymer-modified asphalt and warm-mix asphalt. Today, asphalt remains the most widely used material for paving roads and highways around the world. Its versatility, durability, and sustainability make it an essential component of modern infrastructure.
