About this township

Alloway Township is anchored by colonial-era Alloway village.

Alloway Township was incorporated in 1798. The 33.5 sq mi township is anchored by Alloway village, a historic colonial-era settlement on Alloway Creek. The township combines pre-Revolutionary heritage architecture with working farmland and Alloway Creek bottomland. Tree work spans heritage village canopy, farmstead specimens, and creek-corridor riparian trees. We work this town the way we work the rest of South Jersey — the same crew, the same standard, on every job. Less invasive, more in harmony.

We prune to keep the tree alive and sound, not to over-thin it. Cabling and bracing where a heritage tree earns it. Call (856) 241-0489.

Four Pressures Specific to Alloway Township

Heritage canopy + working farms + Alloway Creek + EAB.

01

Heritage Village Canopy

Trees adjacent to colonial-era buildings need preservation-grade work. Rigging instead of felling, ANSI A300 cuts, written documentation.

02

Working Farms

Hedgerows and farmstead specimens dominate the rest of the 33.5 sq mi township. Linear-cycle hedgerow planning.

03

Alloway Creek

Bottomland trees along Alloway Creek have different soil moisture and species mix than upland farm trees.

04

EAB

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

Diagnostic checklist

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

Alloway Township received its royal charter in 1767 (originally Upper Alloways Creek Township) and was formally incorporated in 1798 — one of New Jersey's original 104 townships. Today the township spans the Alloway CDP plus several other small settlements. The agricultural footprint and centuries-old settlement history mean heritage trees on multi-century lots alongside more modern residential plantings. Six signs Paul looks for first.

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.

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.

Coverage

Where we work, block by block.

From Alloway village to the working farms across the township, we cover every Alloway Township address. We work this town the way we work the rest of South Jersey — understand the tree before we ever start, keep what should stay, and when removal is the right call, do it well.

Alloway village

Heritage canopy. We’d rather leave a tree standing for another generation than take it because someone’s nervous about a single limb.

Alloway Creek corridor

Creek-edge soil holds water. We pick weather windows and plan drop zones so we don’t tear up the bank.

Township-wide farms

Hedgerow oaks, windbreaks, and field-edge maples. We work the schedule around the season, not the other way around.

Working hedgerows

Ag-side trees that earn their keep. We prune for utility — shade for stock, wind cover, fence-line clearance.

Heritage colonial blocks

The old maples, oaks and sycamores that came up with these blocks. Pruning here is conservative — we keep the canopy that gives the street its character.

Rural residential

Mature residential canopy. We treat each yard like our own — drop zones planned, ropes set, lawn protected.

ALLOWAY TOWNSHIP · Common questions

Common questions, specific answers.

Real questions from real property owners in Alloway Township — about credentials, process, and the work we do.

What’s your NJ Tree Care License number?

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.

Do you offer cabling and bracing for older Alloway Township trees?

Yes. Cabling and bracing extends the life of mature heritage trees. We use TRAQ-qualified risk assessment.

Are you BBB-Accredited?

Tree Awareness, Inc. is TCIA-Accredited — more rigorous than BBB for tree service specifically.

How long have you been working in this corner of Salem County?

Since 1993 — over 30 years. The differentiator is the credentials we hold and the owner-on-every-job model.

Do you work on Alloway village heritage properties?

Yes. Alloway village — the colonial-era settlement at the township's historic core — has pre-Revolutionary architecture surrounded by heritage trees that pre-date the country itself. Cabling, root-collar excavation, lightning protection, and conservative pruning before any consideration of removal. Photographic documentation suitable for the historic record provided.

What about creek-edge trees along Alloway Creek?

Alloway Creek runs tidal — its riparian-edge trees grow in saturated soils with shallower root plates than upland farm trees. That changes how we rig and ground-protect during work. We bring matting for soft ground and plan drop zones around the bank, not over it.

Do you provide agricultural-easement reports for Alloway farms?

Yes. We provide written arborist reports for agricultural-easement reviews, conservation-easement compliance, farm-property tree assessments, and equipment-traffic damage documentation. Reports accepted by NJ Ag Preservation, the SADC, municipal land-use boards, and insurers.
