TRAQ Qualified · LTE #408 · Since 1993
Less invasive, more in harmony — that’s how we work in Barrington. Removal when removal is right, conservative pruning when it isn’t, and an honest answer either way.
Barrington was incorporated in 1917 from Centre Township and Haddon Township. The borough is 1.6 sq mi of mature residential canopy between Haddon Heights and Lawnside. PATCO Speedline access at the Barrington station puts residents 25 minutes from Center City Philadelphia — that transit factor has shaped the borough’s residential development from the 1920s through today. We work this town the way we work the rest of South Jersey — the same yard behind every call, the same crew, the same standard. Less invasive, more in harmony.
Clements Bridge Road runs through Barrington as the borough’s spine, connecting Haddon Heights to Lawnside. Mature canopy along the corridor traces back to the 1920s residential development that followed PATCO access.
Trees along this corridor — mostly mid-20th-century plantings — are now in the structural-failure window. We work them with the same preservation-grade approach we apply on heritage corridors in larger Camden County boroughs.
Six services shaped for a transit-accessible inner-ring borough with mature 1920s-era residential canopy.

Is a tree in your Barrington 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 old sidewalks and utility work. We treat the cause. Call (856) 241-0489.
Read more1920s-era canopy + PATCO-area density + EAB.
Barrington’s 1917 incorporation and the 1920s development boom that followed produced canopy that’s now well past structural-failure threshold on some blocks.
Properties near the Barrington PATCO station are denser than the borough’s outer blocks. Walked-over root flares and compacted soil show up in canopy decline.
Field-edge ash here needs a treatment plan or removal timeline.
Barrington was incorporated in 1917, split off from the now-defunct Centre Township. Most of the residential canopy reflects the post-WWI through mid-century suburban expansion — oak-lined Clements Bridge Road, planted street trees on the side blocks, and the larger specimen trees on older lots. A century on, those trees are reaching the structural failure window. Six signs Paul looks for first.
Splits running up or down the main trunk indicate structural failure has begun.
Healthy trees shed bark slowly. Large patches falling away in a single season point to internal decline.
Mushroom conks at the base or running up the trunk are evidence of structural decay.
New leans, or worsening leans — especially after a storm — mean the root plate may be compromised.
Lightning-struck trees often show crown dieback within 12–18 months.
If your ash tree’s upper canopy is 30%+ thinned, the tree is past treatment threshold.

Great dedication to making the dreams of clients come true
We have been entrusting the care of a giant old red oak in our back yard for the last ten years. The tree is very close to our house, with many overhanging branches, and when a big one that showed signs of decay fell on our patio recently, we decided after consulting Paul that it was time to “retire” the old giant. Rick expertly operated a big crane, Mason managed a crew on the ground, and after only two days of skilled & efficient work, the tree was safely removed. The always-professional work we have come to value & appreciate. We highly recommend this team!
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.
Called them for quote to trim a large Holly tree in the back of our house. They responded the very next day, looked at the work, and sent a quote. I agreed to the reasonable price and work was scheduled and completed within a week. Team was very respectful of property...work completed in a professional manner...everything was completed and cleaned up within a few hours. I would highly recommend Tree Awareness to anyone looking to have work completed!
Excellent quality work, responsive, and informed work. Would recommend without qualifications. Paul and the team worked well with scheduling the service, walked us through all the steps. They're very informed also about trees (being a certified arborist).
Tree Awareness just removed two huge dying oak trees from one of our client's properties as step one of a total back yard re-design. We love how neat, efficient and precisely the work was executed. And the client was away while this was done. Talk about trust! Great job on behalf of our client.

1–7 days typicalFrom the PATCO station area to the residential blocks across the borough, we cover every Barrington address. Same yard, same crew, same standard — the way we’ve worked these communities for thirty years. Less invasive, more in harmony.
Trees by the station take infrastructure pressure most yards never see. We check root flare, soil compaction, and overhead lines together.
Highway-edge trees take more wind and more salt than residential canopy. Pruning here is structural, not cosmetic.
Mature street trees on this stretch. We know the species, the soil, and the storm patterns from working these blocks for years.
A block of trees we’ve walked many times. The work here is rarely dramatic — just the right cuts at the right time.
Wherever the borough line runs, we cover it. Same crew, same standard, same answer to the same question.
The old maples, oaks and sycamores that came up with these blocks. Pruning here is conservative — we keep the canopy that gives the street its character.
