TRAQ Qualified · LTE #408 · Since 1993
Less invasive, more in harmony — that’s how we work in Brooklawn. Removal when removal is right, conservative pruning when it isn’t, and an honest answer either way.
Brooklawn Borough was incorporated in 1924, carved from Centre Township. The 0.36 sq mi borough is wedged between Newton Creek and Big Timber Creek, with the Delaware River corridor a half-mile west. The footprint is a tight residential grid bounded by creek-edge wetlands on three sides.
The tree work here divides between creek-edge sycamores and silver maples (with wet-and-dry root zones) and inland-block silver maples and pin oaks. The two zones get different prescriptions — the creek-edge trees need wet/dry-cycle assessment, not standard residential pruning.
Newton Creek to the north, Big Timber Creek to the south, a tight residential grid between them.
Six services shaped for small-borough conditions: tight lots, shared canopy, narrow access.

Read moreIs a tree in your Brooklawn yard yellowing, dropping leaves early, or showing bark damage? We diagnose the actual problem before treating anything. Around Brooklawn we commonly see Emerald Ash Borer on ash trees, Bacterial Leaf Scorch on pin oaks, and soil compaction from the borough's clay soils. We treat the cause. Call (856) 241-0489.
Read moreTwo creek banks shape half the borough’s tree work.
Seasonally-saturated soils tend to bring on Armillaria root rot. Stressed creek-edge sycamores and maples need root-zone diagnosis, not crown work.
Most lots are 40-50 ft wide. One mature pin oak dominates 3-4 properties — coordination matters.
Major commercial corridor on Route 130 limits access for some lots; rigging plans factor in traffic control.
Brooklawn was incorporated in 1924, split from the now-defunct Centre Township. The borough sits a half-mile east of the Delaware River corridor with most of its residential canopy planted as the borough developed in the 1920s-1950s. River-corridor proximity adds shallow root anchorage and salt-air considerations on certain species. 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.

VIDEO REVIEW
Great experience from the quote to finish! They removed a tree that was leaning against other trees that could have shattered my fence and gone in neighbors yard. They were friendly and did a first class job! Will definitely use them in the future!
We are a repeat customer and are always happy with the work performed. Paul and Mia provide great communications from estimate through work day and we always know that Mason will do a good job. Respect for property and clean up when finished; couldn't ask for more.
Used Tree Awareness 15+ years ago to remove a large oak tree very near the house. I was impressed with the care they took in dropping the limbs without damaging anything. In the ensuing years we've had other trees removed or trimmed by whoever was already working in the neighborhood. Our experiences with those folks varied. When we decided to remove a couple of smaller, but awkwardly placed trees, we called Tree Awareness. They came out and did the job quickly, cleanly, and respected the property like it was their own. No regrets. Would absolutely recommend them.
Just had tree awareness come out to our property to help with a giant willow tree that needed some serious TLC. Paul and his guys were efficient, friendly and did a FANTASTIC job. The project was very well priced and the crew showed up on time and finished earlier than expected. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone!
I am very pleased with the service from Tree Awareness. Mia was very accommodating to my schedule and the entire crew took great care to make sure I was happy with the results. They trimmed 2 large trees and removed another leaving the yard immaculately clean after. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again
Mia, Paul, Mason and crew are always professional and responsive to my many tree maintenance needs. Would never consider anyone else!
