Tree care in Vineland done by people who climb, assess, and prune for a living — not a sales team. NJ LTE #408, TRAQ Qualified, ISA Member.
Vineland was founded by Charles K. Landis in 1861 — he purchased 30,000 acres that year and an additional 23,000 in 1874. The first houses were built in 1862, the population reached 5,500 by 1865, and Landis Avenue remains the city's main street. Vineland was formally incorporated in 1952 by merging Landis Township and Vineland Borough. The “Boulevard” is a pair of roads flanking the main north-south rail line. 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.

In 1861, Charles K. Landis purchased 30,000 acres south of Millville and laid out a planned utopian community on a contiguous grid. Landis Avenue was engineered as a 100-foot-wide, mile-long boulevard. The streets meet at right angles. It is the most deliberately designed city in South Jersey.
Buyers were not just sold lots. They were given conditions:
Buyers were required to clear and cultivate the land — and to leave adequate space between houses and roads for the planting of flowers and shade trees.— Conditions of sale, 1860s Vineland (per Wikipedia)
That single sentence shapes how we work in Vineland today. The Boulevard, Landis Avenue, and the planned grid are still flanked by mature canopy that traces directly back to those 1860s plantings — many now hitting structural failure age. Our work is the continuation of a 160-year-old shade-tree mandate.
Boulevard width — engineered for shade-tree plantings on both sides.
Acres bought by Landis in 1861 — 23,000 more added in 1874.
Square miles of total area — biggest city by area in the state.
Three pressures specific to Vineland's tree canopy. — the planned grid, the boulevard heritage, and the ash belt that comes with 68.99 square miles of coverage.
Six services. Tuned to the boulevard heritage canopy, the planned-grid corridors, and the residential lots that fill the largest city in New Jersey.

VIDEO REVIEW
Mia, Paul, Mason and crew are always professional and responsive to my many tree maintenance needs. Would never consider anyone else!
— John Kiger
I want to Thank Paul and his very hard working crew, I needed to have some work done on a timeline and gave them very short notice...they came through for me. Mia worked VERY hard to get me on the schedule and the crew worked just as hard to keep me there and follow through, as they always have. I have worked with Paul over the last 13 years and he and his crew are always on time, friendly, professional and more than up to the task. I can't imagine ever letting anyone else on our property. Thank You Thank You Bethany
— Tree Awareness Inc.
Outstanding service, on time and professional. The services live up to the business's name. I chose Tree Awareness for my tree care about 10 years ago based on their name and description of services. Many tree services have truck labeling that indicates tree removal as their primary service, whereas Tree Awareness is focused on preserving the appearance, function and health of trees in this era, which poses so many challenges to tree health. Employees are supported with training and supervision, and it pays off. Excellent customer communication results in satisfaction. Tree Awareness does not hesitate to recommend other companies that perform known, satisfactory services when some special treatment is indicated.
— Linda Henson
Been using them over 20yrs. Professional, experienced and fully certified and insured. Worth it not having to worry about anything. Handles everything.
— Lawrence Fireman
Paul is incredibly knowledgeable. When he arrived for the estimate, he immediately knew all of my many trees by name; and told me helpful details about their lifespans, strengths/weaknesses, and benefits to wildlife. I needed them to remove a fully dead tree that was within ten feet of my front windows, surrounded by several mature oak trees, and close to power lines. The guys did a great job. It was so impressive to watch! Not a single twig fell on the holly bushes I planted this spring, even though they were only a few feet away from the tree. They cleaned up after themselves and finished the whole operation in about an hour. So amazing!
— Ashlyn M.
We’ve been using Paul and his crew for years. They are excellent in every way.

Three decades of South Jersey tree work means Paul has cared for boulevard heritage canopy, planned-grid trees, and the broader inventory across Cumberland County properties. Every Vineland quote starts with him on the property.
Tree Awareness, Inc. is owner-operated and TCIA-Accredited. We keep boulevard heritage trees alive when the structure supports it, and remove decisively when it doesn’t.
Specific answers for boulevard, grid, and residential property owners.
Cost is driven by trunk diameter, access (interior boulevard plantings cost different than open residential lots), proximity to structures, and whether stump grinding and debris haul-out are included. Every Vineland job gets a free written estimate before any work starts.
Vineland does not typically require a permit to remove a tree on private residential property. Boulevard plantings and trees in any historic-overlay zone may face additional review. We help homeowners verify with the City before scheduling.
All three: 08360, 08361, and 08362. Vineland’s 68.99-square-mile footprint covers them all, and we cover the entire city.
Regularly. Landis Avenue and the Boulevard are flanked by canopy that traces back to the 1860s shade-tree mandate. These trees need staged structural pruning and risk monitoring — often a multi-year care plan rather than a single visit.
Yes. We diagnose canopy thinning, evaluate whether trunk-injection treatment is still viable based on canopy loss, and implement a treatment schedule when appropriate. For trees past treatment threshold, we recommend and schedule removal before structural failure.
Yes — 24/7 emergency response across all of Vineland. After major storms we triage by hazard. Call (856) 241-0489 and we’ll dispatch the same day in most cases.
A walk-through with Paul, a discussion of your goals, our recommendation, and a written estimate emailed within 48 hours. No high-pressure sales, no hidden fees.
