About this town

Wenonah was a planned Victorian-era residential community.

Wenonah was incorporated in 1883 as a planned residential community, designed by the Mantua and Glassboro Railway as a destination commuter suburb. That 1880s planning means Wenonah has intentional street-tree spacing, Victorian-era homes, and mature heritage canopy on most blocks. The borough is 1.0 sq mi and one of Gloucester County’s most architecturally consistent communities. We work this town the way we work the rest of South Jersey — the same yard behind every call, the same crew, the same standard. Less invasive, more in harmony.

Wenonah’s 1880s plan still shapes its tree care.

Intentional spacing in 1883 means heritage canopy in 2026.

East-West avenues

The east-west avenues carry the borough’s heritage canopy — intentionally spaced, Victorian-era plantings now over a century old.

Lincoln, Princeton, Lehigh

The north-south streets carry younger residential canopy — mid-century replacements for the original heritage trees.

Three Pressures on Wenonah Trees

Heritage canopy + multi-generation continuity + EAB.

01 · HERITAGE CANOPY

Century-old plantings on the original avenues

Wenonah’s east-west avenues carry trees planted in the 1880s. Heritage canopy here gets preservation-grade work, not production removal.

02 · MULTI-GENERATION HOLDS

Same families on legacy lots

Many Wenonah lots have multi-generation ownership continuity. Heritage trees here carry community memory.

03 · EAB

Established across the county

Field-edge ash here needs a treatment plan or removal timeline.

Diagnostic checklist

When a tree has to come down — and when it doesn’t.

Wenonah is a tight residential borough — barely a square mile, founded 1883 as a planned community with broad shaded streets. Most of the canopy went in during the late-1800s and early-1900s expansion, putting many of those trees beyond the 100-year mark and into a serious failure window. Six visible signs Paul looks for first when walking a Wenonah property.

01 · Diagnostic

Vertical cracks in the trunk

Splits running up or down the main trunk indicate structural failure has begun.

02 · Diagnostic

Bark peeling in large chunks

Healthy trees shed bark slowly. Large patches falling away in a single season point to internal decline.

03 · Diagnostic

Fungus growing on the trunk or root flare

Mushroom conks at the base or running up the trunk are evidence of structural decay.

04 · Diagnostic

Significant lean toward a structure

New leans, or worsening leans — especially after a storm — mean the root plate may be compromised.

05 · Diagnostic

Lightning damage or split crown

Lightning-struck trees often show crown dieback within 12–18 months.

06 · Diagnostic

EAB canopy thinning on ash trees

If your ash tree’s upper canopy is 30%+ thinned, the tree is past treatment threshold.

Like many of the neighborhoods around here, trees were planted as the houses were built with little regard for the proper tree for the proper space. Our issue was a pin oak that was getting way too big for the easement where it was planted. Enter Tree Awareness… From the very start Mia, Paul and Mason went above and beyond with their communication and handling of our job. When on site, the team worked with precision, efficiency and left the surrounding area super clean. Whether you’re just pruning or need a full tree removal, Tree Awareness won’t disappoint!

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!

Paul and Kevin are amazing. Paul came out right away and we walked the property to discuss what I wanted done. He took his time and really listened to what I was hoping to accomplish. He is very knowledgeable and understood what I wanted and made some great recommendations. I also really appreciated his honesty as he explained why some things that weren’t necessary or shouldn’t be done. He then offered other solutions which worked out great.. I appreciated his knowledge and understanding of my vision and what could be done to achieve it. The team has been out twice already to do the majority of the work and will be out one more time as there were quite a few trees that needed to come down and a lot of work on existing trees and bushes. They were prompt, courteous, and did a fabulous job of cleanup. Other than the trees that are gone, you wouldn’t know they were even here. That says something for their level of professionalism- I am looking forward to next year and the next phase of work on the property. Working with Kevin in the office has been great and Watching Paul and his team work has been nothing short of outstanding.

Very Professional group they worked with me and my neighbor to prune a difficult to reach tree and the tree looks great. The sales team and manager also worked with me to make it affordable for my situation. In short the best tree contractor I've ever used.

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.

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 very close to the house. I used them again about 10 years ago for the same reason at my current property. When we had a wet heavy snow a few weeks ago, a tree that hangs over my roof and still has dead leaves on it, was so weighed down it was touching the roof, and the tree itself was leaning pretty precariously Towards the house. When I saw today that we might be getting 11”-15” of heavy wet snow this weekend, I was in a panic. I called them, assuming that they were probably booked solid, and they were. After explaining my situation to the office manager, she said let me see what we can do. She responded quickly, and even though they were booked solid, she went out of her way to make it happen. She had a crew here within the hour. Mason and his crew were both very professional, and personable. They got the job done quickly, and perfectly. I can honestly say after using them, 3 times now, that they are not only the best at what they do, but very professional, and accommodating. They go above and beyond. Their pricing is more than reasonable for the level of knowledge, and skill they possess. I also like that they are very focused on the health of the trees on your property, and don’t look to talk you into cutting trees down that don’t necessarily need to come down. Instead, in this situation, they suggested trimming the over hanging limbs, and canopy back, to make it safe with this storm coming. They could have easily said “it needs to come down”, and charged me quite a bit more. I would recommend Tree Awareness to anybody who needs tree work done professionally, and at a reasonable price. You can’t go wrong with them. I can’t express my appreciation for easing my concerns, on such short notice the way they did. Thanks guys. Keep up the great work guys.
