From what I have seen, NJ was absolutely beautiful, but so much was developed for homes, industry, highways, its often judged on what can be seen from the road. When I worked in the site work field, I did experience much of the various soils and conditions, some of the deep black sandy loam top soil I can remember stripping, picture perfect farm lands we destroyed for houses, just the actual terrain and landscape, say like near Far Hills, or places in south jersey. I've never seen top soils so deep as I saw in NJ in some places, incredible, so much of it on one job, they dug a huge borrow pit for sand and buried it, was in Howell TWP.

North Jersey had a lot of agriculture, and reminded me of here, some mountains and similar terrain. It was a conflict to sit on a D8K and push scrapers on farm land, I am not proud to say I did a lot of that, last crop of corn, even cleared a huge pumpkin patch in Flanders/Mount Olive, all the left over trash clogging the radiator grills, sure looked like really nice soils, but with progress, and all the people, commuting to NYC, that live or want to live there and big time developers like K Hovnanian, putting up thousands of homes per year, won't be long. I worked in Flemington/Whitehouse Station in '92 on a large site job and boy has that changed since, the landscape especially. We did a Costco off Rt 80 in or near Wharton, bunchers/fellers, tub grinders just cleared it in no time, we came in right after, strip the tops soils, all the site work, underground utilities etc. I've never seen developing like its done in NJ,I sure moved a lot of earth and set a lot of pipe way back when.
