Less invasive, more in harmony — that’s how we work in Alloway. Removal when removal is right, conservative pruning when it isn’t, and an honest answer either way.
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.
Three centuries of continuous agricultural use shape the canopy.
Township received its royal charter as Upper Alloways Creek Township — one of NJ's earliest. Quaker farming heritage along Alloway Creek.
Alloway Township formed from Salem and Pilesgrove portions.
Working farms across the 33+ sq mi footprint anchor the township’s identity.
Pre-Revolutionary architecture in the village core; working agricultural land surrounds.
Six services shaped for working-farm canopy + Delaware-edge industrial-heritage conditions.

Alloway's heritage farmhouse trees — old white oaks, hickories, sycamores — need careful structural pruning to last another generation. ANSI A300 standards, no topping, no flush cuts. 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.

Is a tree on your Alloway property losing leaves early, yellowing, or showing bark damage? We diagnose the actual problem before treating anything. Out in Salem County we commonly see Emerald Ash Borer on ash trees, Bacterial Leaf Scorch on oaks, and soil compaction from equipment traffic. We treat the cause, not just the symptom. Call (856) 241-0489.
Read moreHeritage canopy + working farms + Alloway Creek + EAB.
Trees adjacent to colonial-era buildings need preservation-grade work. Rigging instead of felling, ANSI A300 cuts, written documentation.
Hedgerows and farmstead specimens dominate the rest of the 33.5 sq mi township. Linear-cycle hedgerow planning.
Bottomland trees along Alloway Creek have different soil moisture and species mix than upland farm trees.
Field-edge and creek-edge ash here needs a treatment plan or removal timeline.
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.
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.

Best tree company around. We always get our firewood from them also.
— Derek Gieschen
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
We are so impressed and appreciative of the work the team did! The office was great to work with and you can tell the team enjoys their work. Would definitely recommend and will surely use them again!
— Orla Pickett
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.
— Jo M.

Three decades of South Jersey work means Paul has cared for Quaker-heritage farmsteads, Delaware-edge industrial-heritage canopy, and rural-residential lots across the Salem-area belt.
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.
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.
Heritage canopy. We’d rather leave a tree standing for another generation than take it because someone’s nervous about a single limb.
Creek-edge soil holds water. We pick weather windows and plan drop zones so we don’t tear up the bank.
Hedgerow oaks, windbreaks, and field-edge maples. We work the schedule around the season, not the other way around.
Ag-side trees that earn their keep. We prune for utility — shade for stock, wind cover, fence-line clearance.
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.
Mature residential canopy. We treat each yard like our own — drop zones planned, ropes set, lawn protected.
Real questions from real property owners in Alloway 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. 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.
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.
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.
