About this borough

Audubon Park is a single-block borough.

Audubon Park was incorporated in 1947, carved out from Haddon Township. The 0.15 sq mi footprint — one of the smallest municipalities in New Jersey — began as the Garden City Apartments, a WWII-era housing development for shipyard workers, that incorporated itself out of Haddon Township to gain self-rule.

The entire borough is a single residential apartment-complex anchor with mature canopy aging together. Most trees were planted at the same time in the 1940s, which means crown failures, EAB-patterns we sees, and decline patterns tend to cluster in waves rather than spread out.

Compact-borough profile

A canopy that grew up together aging together.

Audubon Park’s canopy was almost entirely planted within a 5-year window after WWII. That changes the way these trees age.

Tree services

What we do — pruning, removal, plant health, risk.

Six services shaped for small-borough conditions: tight lots, shared canopy, narrow access.

Tree Removal

Need a tree removed in Audubon Park? The borough's original WWII-era housing on small compact lots means tight backyards, fences against the neighbor, and not much room to drop wood. We bring the right rigging for the space and lower sections one piece at a time. Lawn protected, full cleanup. Call (856) 241-0489 for an honest assessment from Paul.

Pruning & Trimming

Audubon Park's mature street trees and yard trees need careful pruning to stay safe over the borough's tight rows of homes. ANSI A300 standards — no topping, no flush cuts. We prune to keep the tree healthy and structurally sound for the next 20 years, not to over-thin it. Call (856) 241-0489.

Emergency Tree Service

Tree down in Audubon Park after a storm? Our crew responds same-day for trees on houses, blocked driveways, and downed limbs on power lines. We document everything for your insurance claim. Available 24/7 — no premium for after-hours. Call (856) 241-0489.

Plant Health Care

Is a tree in your Audubon Park yard yellowing, dropping leaves early, or showing bark damage? We diagnose the actual problem before treating anything. Around here we commonly see Bacterial Leaf Scorch on pin oaks, Emerald Ash Borer on ash trees, and root-zone compaction from the borough's tight lots. We treat the cause. Call (856) 241-0489.

Local pressure

Three pressures specific to Audubon Park's tree canopy.

When a 75-year cohort starts dropping, the work isn’t one tree at a time.

01

Trees that grew up together

Trees that grew up together can also fail together. We map clusters of risk by age, species, and patterns we see so the borough can plan removals proactively, not reactively.

02

Tight blocks, patient work

Most courtyards have no truck access here, so we work patiently from the perimeter. Rigging-down work and crane-staging from the perimeter streets is typical.

03

Trees that span property lines

One mature tree often spans 3-4 dwelling units. Removal coordination matters — everyone affected gets notice.

Diagnostic checklist

When a tree has to come down — and when it doesn’t.

Audubon Park has a unique origin story — the borough was created in 1947 from a 500-unit federal housing project built in 1941 for New York Shipbuilding employees during WWII. That single-era construction means the entire residential canopy went in around the same time, planted to a single landscape plan. Today those trees are 75-85 years old, all reaching the failure window together. Six signs Paul looks for first.

01 · Diagnostic

Vertical cracks in the trunk

Splits running up or down the main trunk indicate structural failure has begun.

02 · Diagnostic

Bark peeling in large chunks

Healthy trees shed bark slowly. Large patches falling away in a single season point to internal decline.

03 · Diagnostic

Fungus growing on the trunk or root flare

Mushroom conks at the base or running up the trunk are evidence of structural decay.

04 · Diagnostic

Significant lean toward a structure

New leans, or worsening leans — especially after a storm — mean the root plate may be compromised.

05 · Diagnostic

Lightning damage or split crown

Lightning-struck trees often show crown dieback within 12–18 months.

06 · Diagnostic

EAB canopy thinning on ash trees

If your ash tree’s upper canopy is 30%+ thinned, the tree is past treatment threshold.

Paul and Kevin are amazing. Paul came out right away and we walked the property to discuss what I wanted done. He took his time and really listened to what I was hoping to accomplish. He is very knowledgeable and understood what I wanted and made some great recommendations. I also really appreciated his honesty as he explained why some things that weren’t necessary or shouldn’t be done. He then offered other solutions which worked out great.. I appreciated his knowledge and understanding of my vision and what could be done to achieve it. The team has been out twice already to do the majority of the work and will be out one more time as there were quite a few trees that needed to come down and a lot of work on existing trees and bushes. They were prompt, courteous, and did a fabulous job of cleanup. Other than the trees that are gone, you wouldn’t know they were even here. That says something for their level of professionalism- I am looking forward to next year and the next phase of work on the property. Working with Kevin in the office has been great and Watching Paul and his team work has been nothing short of outstanding.

Paul and team did an amazing job removing several large trees and trimming many others to restore their health. His team worked very hard, they cleaned up and really took their time moving the heavy equipment around to minimize the damage to my yard. I highly recommend Tree Awareness, this is the second large job they have done for me with very high level of satisfaction

Like many of the neighborhoods around here, trees were planted as the houses were built with little regard for the proper tree for the proper space. Our issue was a pin oak that was getting way too big for the easement where it was planted. Enter Tree Awareness… From the very start Mia, Paul and Mason went above and beyond with their communication and handling of our job. When on site, the team worked with precision, efficiency and left the surrounding area super clean. Whether you’re just pruning or need a full tree removal, Tree Awareness won’t disappoint!
