TRAQ Qualified · LTE #408 · Since 1993
Less invasive, more in harmony — that’s how we work in Fairfield Township. Removal when removal is right, conservative pruning when it isn’t, and an honest answer either way.
Fairfield Township was originally formed by Royal Charter in 1697 and re-incorporated under the Township Act of 1798. The 41.0 sq mi township is anchored by Fairton, with significant rural-agricultural land and Cohansey River corridor frontage. Most of Fairfield is working farmland with scattered residential lots, and the southern sections lean toward the bayshore. Tree work centers on hedgerow management, farmstead specimens, and Cohansey-corridor bottomland. Before a saw ever comes out, we read the tree — thirty years of fieldwork, TRAQ qualification, ANSI A300 pruning, all rooted in science and restraint. Less invasive, more in harmony.
Cohansey corridor + inland farms + bayshore-leaning sections.
Inland farms and Fairton-area residential blocks. Working agricultural canopy.
Cohansey River corridor through the township. Tidal-reach bottomland trees on the river-front blocks.
Southern bayshore-leaning sections face increasing salt influence as they approach the Delaware Bay. Salt-tolerant species — pitch pine, red cedar, eastern bayberry — replace upland hardwoods on the bay-facing lots.
Working farms + Cohansey corridor + EAB.
Most Fairfield Township work is hedgerow management and farmstead specimen care. Mid-20th-century plantings reaching senescence.
The Cohansey River cuts through Fairfield. River-bottom soils and species mix differ from the upland farms.
Field-edge ash here needs a treatment plan or removal timeline.
Six services shaped for bayshore-edge conditions and inland agricultural canopy.

Is a tree on your Fairfield Township property losing leaves early, yellowing, or showing bark damage? We diagnose the actual problem before treating anything. Out here we commonly see Emerald Ash Borer on ash trees, Bacterial Leaf Scorch on oaks, and soil compaction from equipment traffic. We treat the cause. Call (856) 241-0489.
Fairfield Township was formed by royal charter in 1697 — one of the older settlements in Cumberland County. The township borders Delaware Bay and includes the historic communities of Sea Breeze, Fairton (the township seat), and Gouldtown — an old African American community dating to the segregation period. 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.

Repeat customer for good reasons. Safe, organized, right equipment, hard working crew, and Paul's insite on what we are trying to accomplish. So many 5 star reviews tells the story.
— Scott Bradbury
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.
— Carol Ewald
Tree Awareness was expert in all phases of my complicated job. Communication was great, as was concern for customer satisfaction. Mason and his team were very considerate of neighbors and shared their knowledge with me along the way. Well done!
— Barbara Miles
I have a Japanese Maple in my yard and it was looking a little shabby. Paul came out and shaped, and pruned it. I looked and had a hard time seeing where it had been cut, then I looked in the bed of his truck and it was overflowing with branches with red leaves. I couldn't believe how much how much came off and yet it looked completely natural. Then he explained all about the species of tree and how it needs to be handled. Extremely knowledgeable.
— Andy Masterson
Tree Awareness (Mason & the guys) did a remarkable job with getting my trees/bushes ready for spring. Mason spent all the time needed to discuss & explain different things about keeping everything in my yard growing beautifully. He is very knowledgeable & provides options for the various things that could be done to add to the landscape, but also keeps in mind what the customer’s preferences may be. From the owner of the company, Paul Beister, to the employees, you know you are getting top quality and honest service. MIA, who does all the work behind the scenes ensuring the smooth operation of the business, is very efficient and such a pleasure to work with! This is a very well run company. You can feel sure you are getting the best care for your yard - and Paul is always learning and keeping up with the newest research in order to provide the best service. You can rest assured you are working with an honest, caring family business! I highly recommend Tree Awareness without any reservations. I will remain a loyal customer! Thank you everyone!!
— Judy Brown
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.

1–7 days typicalFrom Fairton to the Cohansey corridor and inland farms, we cover every Fairfield Township (Cumberland) address. Good stewards of the local forest — that’s how we’ve framed this work for thirty years. Less invasive, more in harmony.
Same standard here as everywhere else: understand the tree, keep what should stay, and when removal is the right call, do it well.
Highway-edge trees take more wind and more salt than residential canopy. Pruning here is structural, not cosmetic.
Hedgerow oaks, windbreaks, and field-edge maples. We work the schedule around the season, not the other way around.
Bayshore canopy takes a beating. Structural pruning every few years is worth more than ten emergency calls.
Ag-side trees that earn their keep. We prune for utility — shade for stock, wind cover, fence-line clearance.
Mature residential canopy. We treat each yard like our own — drop zones planned, ropes set, lawn protected.

Three decades of South Jersey work means Paul has cared for bayshore-edge canopy across Cumberland County’s tidal-flat townships. Fairfield Township is part of that.
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.
Real questions from real property owners in Fairfield Township — about credentials, process, and the work we do.
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.
Tree Awareness, Inc. is TCIA-Accredited — more rigorous than BBB for tree service specifically.
Since 1993 — over 30 years. The differentiator is the credentials we hold and the owner-on-every-job model.
Yes. Gouldtown's heritage farmsteads — one of America's oldest free Black communities, founded in the early 1700s — have multi-century specimen trees that get preservation-grade work. Cabling, root-collar excavation, and conservative pruning before any consideration of removal. Photographic documentation suitable for the historic record provided.
Salt-stress assessment first. Bay-facing properties have shallower root plates and salt-tolerant species mix — pitch pine, red cedar, eastern bayberry. We diagnose salt damage versus disease (they can mimic each other) before recommending treatment, and we work the bay wind into our rigging plans.
Yes. We provide written arborist reports for CAFRA (Coastal Area Facility Review Act) compliance, riparian-zone reviews, and waterfront tree assessments along the Cohansey corridor. Reports accepted by NJDEP and Fairfield Township land-use boards.
