Pitman · Borough · Gloucester County
A small, walkable Gloucester County borough named for Rev. Charles Pitman — and home to Pitman Grove, the historic Methodist camp-meeting streets fanning off Broadway. Dense lots, mature street trees, tight access. Less invasive. More in harmony.
Why this borough
Pitman is a small, dense borough where most tree work happens on tight residential lots and along its historic streets. When one street tree starts to decline in a place this walkable, neighbors notice fast. The conversation usually starts with preservation rather than removal — and that’s the right place to start.
Pitman Borough sits in Gloucester County — about 8,800 residents across 2.22 square miles — incorporated in 1905 and named for Rev. Charles Pitman, a Methodist minister. At its center is Pitman Grove, a National Register historic district of radial camp-meeting streets off Broadway. The borough borders Glassboro, Mantua Township, and Washington Township.
A borough this walkable puts its trees right at the curb — so we try to keep the ones worth keeping.
South Jersey tree pressure
The regional pressures we watch for on Pitman’s street and yard trees.
Bacterial Leaf Scorch (BLS)
Common across South Jersey. Lab confirmation drives planning.
Co-dominant stems & weak unions
Common on tight lots. Cabling beats removal where warranted.
Storm exposure
Storm-week triage in the borough is routine.
Beech Leaf Disease (BLD)
Any mature beech in the borough warrants monitoring.

“I first used Tree Awareness back in the 90’s to take out 2 overgrown trees at my property in West Deptford. Both very large, and one fell on the house in a storm.”
Read the full review →Tree Awareness took down both trees safely with zero damage to the house and the entire job was clean and professional. Three decades later I called them again for a tree on a new property — same crew quality, same care. That kind of consistency is rare. Paul stands behind the work. — Walter D.
“Tree Awareness was expert in all phases of my complicated job. Communication was great, as was concern for customer satisfaction.”
Read the full review →Paul came out personally for the estimate, walked the property with us, and explained exactly what each tree needed and why. The crew showed up on schedule, did what they said, and cleaned up better than I expected. Will use them again without hesitation. — Sandra M.
“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 and Paul has kept it healthy and safe.”
Read the full review →Every couple of years Paul comes out, assesses the tree, prunes what needs pruning, and tells us straight whether we have an issue. He’s never once tried to talk us into more work than we needed. The tree is doing better at 100+ years than it was when we moved in. — Mark & Cathy R.
“We are a repeat customer and are always happy with the work performed. Paul and Mia provide great communications from estimate through completion.”
Read the full review →Tree Awareness is the kind of company you don’t worry about once they’re on the job. They show up, do good work, leave the place clean. We’ve had them out for everything from emergency storm work to scheduled pruning over the last several years. — Kim D.
“Overall amazing experience with this company. Same day return phone call, next day quote, and schedule service the day after approval.”
Read the full review →Crew was professional, took down the tree exactly as Paul described, ground the stump, hauled everything off, and the yard looked better when they left than when they arrived. Pricing was fair and the work was top quality. Highly recommend. — Greg T.
“Tree Awareness came to trim 3 trees. One is a clump birch that had many dead branches and I thought I might lose. They were very respectful of the trees.”
Read the full review →Paul looked over each tree carefully, told me what he’d cut and why, and said straight up that the birch was savable. They pruned conservatively, not aggressively. The trees look balanced and healthy now and the birch came back strong. That’s the difference an arborist makes vs. a tree-cutter. — Linda B.
Every job begins with a visual tree risk assessment. Resistograph drill testing when internal decay is suspected. Documentation you can hold onto.
Structural pruning, cabling, plant healthcare, soil work — interventions that extend a tree’s life before anyone suggests taking it down.
If a tree is unsafe or beyond saving, we remove it with full insurance, ANSI Z133 safety standards, and guidance on NJ Tree Ordinance compliance.
