TRAQ Qualified · LTE #408 · Since 1993
Independent tree care for Clementon and the surrounding South Jersey towns. Climber-on-rope work, careful rigging, real assessments before any cut.
Clementon was incorporated in 1925. The borough is 1.9 sq mi at the edge of the Pinelands transition. Notable: Clementon Park & Splash World operated here from 1907 to 2021 — once one of the oldest amusement parks in the United States. The park’s closure left a large open property within the borough. Today Clementon’s tree work spans dense residential canopy near Clementon Lake and Pinelands-edge conditions on the borough’s southern edge. The principles are simple: understand before acting, keep what should stay, and when a tree must come down, do it well. Less invasive, more in harmony.
A 1925 borough at the Pinelands transition needs species-aware diagnostics across both sides of the line.
Red oaks, white oaks, tulip poplars, and silver maples on the developed residential blocks. Lake Clementon residential blocks with mature subdivision canopy. Lakeside soil-moisture conditions different from upland.
The boundary between the developed grid and the Pinelands proper. Mixed species here — pin oaks, scrub oaks, and pitch pines alongside maple and ash. Southern edge transitions toward Pinelands. Pin oaks alongside pitch pines.
Pitch pine, scrub oak, Atlantic white cedar, and other Pinelands-adapted species on sandy, fast-draining soils. Pinelands-influenced pockets at the southern boundary. Pitch pine and scrub oak care.
Lakeside conditions + Pinelands transition + EAB.
Six services shaped for a 1925-era borough at the Pinelands transition with lakeside conditions.

Clementon was incorporated in 1925 and is the site of Clementon Park & Splash World on Clementon Lake — home to the historic Jack Rabbit wooden roller coaster. Glass manufacturing started here around 1800 with Jonathan Haines' factory. Tree care here means lake-edge trees with shallow root anchorage and the residential canopy of the Clementon Lake area. 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
We†sve been using Paul and his crew for years. They are excellent in every way.
Second job done on my tree by Paul and his team. Good work, all cleaned up and you wouldn't know they had been here.
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.
Best tree company around. We always get our firewood from them also.
This company never disappoints. They are knowledgeable, neat, respectful and deliver what they promise. No need to look further.
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!

Three decades of South Jersey work means Paul has cared for Pinelands-edge canopy across Camden County. Clementon sits at the boundary — and we work it both sides of the line.
Tree Awareness, Inc. is owner-operated and TCIA-Accredited. We keep heritage trees alive when the structure supports it, and remove decisively when it doesn’t.
From Lake Clementon to the Pinelands-edge sections, we cover every Clementon address. Owner-operated since 1993, TCIA-Accredited, NJ Licensed Tree Expert #408. Every estimate is Paul on the property, walking the trees with you.
Less invasive, more in harmony — that’s the work, whether it’s a single backyard or a whole block.
Heritage canopy. We’d rather leave a tree standing for another generation than take it because someone’s nervous about a single limb.
Sandy, acidic ground and fire-adapted species. Removals and pruning here respect the ecology; less is almost always more.
Wherever the borough line runs, we cover it. Same crew, same standard, same answer to the same question.
Trees by the station take infrastructure pressure most yards never see. We check root flare, soil compaction, and overhead lines together.
Mature street trees on this stretch. We know the species, the soil, and the storm patterns from working these blocks for years.
Real questions from real property owners in Clementon — about credentials, process, and the work we do.
Tree Awareness, Inc. operates under NJ Licensed Tree Expert #408 — held by Paul D. Biester since 1993. Most NJ tree services display a single license number. We hold the credentials triad — NJ LTE #408 + TCIA Accreditation + CTSP — with explicit verification.
Yes. Cabling and bracing extends the life of mature heritage trees. We use TRAQ-qualified risk assessment to determine when it’s the right call versus removal.
Tree Awareness, Inc. is TCIA-Accredited — more rigorous than BBB for tree service specifically. TCIA Accreditation requires documented safety standards, training records, and customer satisfaction history.
Since 1993 — over 30 years across South Jersey. The differentiator is the credentials we hold (NJ LTE + TCIA + CTSP) and the owner-on-every-job model.
