TRAQ Qualified · LTE #408 · Since 1993
Tree care in Oldmans Township done by people who climb, assess, and prune for a living — not a sales team. NJ LTE #408, TRAQ Qualified, ISA Member.
Oldmans Township was incorporated in 1881, separated from Upper Penns Neck Township. The 21.0 sq mi township is anchored by Pedricktown, a historic settlement near Oldmans Creek and the Delaware River edge. Most of the township is working farmland, with some Delaware-edge industrial-leaning sections to the west. The township is named for Oldmans Creek (named after a Lenape native person known to the colonists as “Old Man”). The principles are simple: understand before acting, keep what should stay, and when a tree must come down, do it well. Less invasive, more in harmony.

Oldmans Township was incorporated in 1881 from Upper Penns Neck Township. The township borders the Delaware River and Oldmans Creek (the township is named for a corruption of “Alderman’s”). US Route 130 crosses Oldmans Creek with a major bridge. Tree care here means rural-agricultural canopies and the streamside trees along Oldmans Creek. 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.

VIDEO REVIEW
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.
We've had Tree Awareness to our home for many jobs. I never saw a huge tree taken down before. It was amazing to watch. Paul Biester and his crew are very knowledgeable with what they do and respectful of the property they are working. Highly recommended.
Paul and his team are true professionals. They have so much knowledge and respect for the trees, and were just as invested as I was in saving my trees, keeping them healthy, and figuring out the best way to lengthen their lives. Paul's team were friendly, prompt, efficient, precise -- everything we could have wanted. This is TRUE TREE CARE. Hire these folks, you cannot go wrong!
I am very pleased with the service from Tree Awareness. Mia was very accommodating to my schedule and the entire crew took great care to make sure I was happy with the results. They trimmed 2 large trees and removed another leaving the yard immaculately clean after. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again
Used Tree Awareness 15+ years ago to remove a large oak tree very near the house. I was impressed with the care they took in dropping the limbs without damaging anything. In the ensuing years we've had other trees removed or trimmed by whoever was already working in the neighborhood. Our experiences with those folks varied. When we decided to remove a couple of smaller, but awkwardly placed trees, we called Tree Awareness. They came out and did the job quickly, cleanly, and respected the property like it was their own. No regrets. Would absolutely recommend them.
Tree Awareness was the best. They were quick in their response and professional in their work. From the first call to the culmination of their service they were the best. Thank you Tree Awareness for economical and professional job well done.

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 Pedricktown to the working farms and Delaware-leaning sections, we cover every Oldmans Township address. The principles are simple: understand before acting, keep what should stay, and when it’s truly necessary, do the work with care. That’s the standard on every job.
We work this section the way we work the rest of town — careful assessment first, then the right call for the tree.
Streamside trees with shallow root plates. We climb and rig with that in mind — careful before we’re fast.
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 edge between one ecology and another. Pruning here means knowing both sides of that line.
Mature residential canopy. We treat each yard like our own — drop zones planned, ropes set, lawn protected.
Real questions from real property owners in Oldmans 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. Pedricktown is the historic anchor of Oldmans Township — the older homesteads carry mature shade trees that have weathered generations on the Oldmans Creek edge. Heritage tree care first: cabling, root-collar excavation, lightning protection, and conservative pruning before any consideration of removal.
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.
Oldmans Creek runs through the township — 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.
