History

The area of Ashland was inhabited by the Megunko Indians before the settlers established the town in the 18th century. Megunko Hill owes its name to the Indians. The town was incorporated in 1846, so it was considerably younger than any other towns in the region. The construction of Boston Worchester railroad and the Boston-Albany Railroad were important factors of Ashland’s development. These railroads helped the town to build mills which helped establish the well-known bustling boot and shoe industry. The construction of three reservoirs set back the industrial development of the area. The Hopkinton Railroad Company still built railroads between Framingham, Sherborn, and Natick, which later on became roads for automobiles.

State Parks

There are 4 parks that fall under the territory of Ashland completely or partially. Hopkinton Sate Park is a beloved pastime destination as it has a large lake where swimming, boat rental, or fishing is possible, and great hikes can be organized along its trails. Ashland State park also has a large Lake and includes a 157-acre reservoir, which has reopened recently, in July 2013. Ashland Forest is open to people too, to show its 550 acres of forest, beautiful streams and hiking trails. Warren Woods is another beloved spot for hiking and recreational activities.

Climate

The climate of Ashland is variable. The winters are cold with temperature below zero and with 60 inches of snow in average. This decreases greatly towards Boston because of the effect of the Atlantic Ocean. Summer is comfortable with relatively high humidity, and 80-90 °F temperature but typically, 70 degrees are not consistent until May. Severe summer weather is not as common as in the west of the state, however, the tornadoes EF0 and EF1 damaged this area too in 1989.

If the concrete is still somewhat soft or green in the first half when the second half is laid, it is well to lay a plank on it and correct the straight edge accordingly when finishing the surface of the second half. It is always best to cut in the expansion joints at this time while the concrete is still green. Waiting too long will cause the concrete slab to crack in areas that will be unpleasing to the eye. This is a plan and cross-section of two-car garage concrete driveway. The finish is made with a wood float only. Curing should take ten days or two weeks, after which the pavement is ready for use. A concrete driveway on a steep grade will not wash out, and provides of 1:2:33, using crushed stone not larger than one inch. This should be thoroughly mixed, using as little water as possible. The surface should be finished with a wood float and should be sloped to a drain. We specialize in cutting doorways and windows into concrete foundation walls. We service Ashland and all surrounding cities and towns in Massachusetts. If it is proposed to erect a frame structure upon the concrete cutting foundation, bolts should be set in the wall with which to anchor the timber plate in place. When the concrete foundation is completed, work on the superstructure may proceed at once. In fact, this is to be preferred, as it will serve to protect the concrete floor from the heat of the sun while it is curing, and keep off rain, which will mark up the surface of fresh concrete and wash away the cement. Rough-faced concrete cutting blocks 8 x 8 x 16 are used.
