Less invasive, more in harmony — that’s how we work in Voorhees. Removal when removal is right, conservative pruning when it isn’t, and an honest answer either way.
Voorhees Township was incorporated in 1899 and grew significantly post-WWII. The township spans Echelon (with Voorhees Town Center, formerly Echelon Mall), the Glendale Methodist Episcopal Church (built 1855), the Brighton Heights area, and several other residential CDPs. Virtua Voorhees Hospital opened in 2011 on Route 73. That mix of heritage and modern means tree care varies a lot block to block. 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.

1–7 days typicalWhen Echelon Mall declined, the township moved its municipal building right inside it. The renamed Voorhees Town Center is now the civic anchor — and the canopy growing around it has tracked that transformation.
Echelon CDP — an unincorporated community on the western side of the township — carries 11,896 residents in 2020. Around it sit Ashland (PATCO Speedline access), Brighton Heights, Glendale, Kirkwood, Kresson, and Osage. Six historical neighborhoods plus Echelon make up the township’s residential map.
Voorhees is also home to the Virtua Voorhees Hospital — a 368-bed, 680,000-sq-ft campus that opened May 2011 — and the Flyers Training Center, where the Philadelphia Flyers practice. Both shape how trees on the surrounding blocks get worked.
A historical note worth keeping: Saddlehill Vineyard sits on Stafford Farm — land “given by George Washington to John Stafford in 1773.” The township carries a 250-year continuous-use heritage that predates its 1899 incorporation.
Largest Camden County Library branch — the M. Allan Vogelson Regional Branch, established 1969 — sits inside Voorhees and anchors the civic infrastructure beyond the Town Center.
Six services tuned to a township anchored by a municipal-Town-Center hybrid, a 368-bed hospital, and the Flyers’ practice rink.

Western Voorhees CDP. 11,896 residents (2020). Anchored by Ashland PATCO and Town Center.
One of the original six communities. Mature subdivision canopy.
Original community section. Hamilton Elementary School area.
Kirkwood-Voorhees corridor. Mature 1900s plantings on residential streets.

Saddlehill Vineyard sits on land given by George Washington to John Stafford in 1773.
Modern subdivision on the township’s eastern edge.
Three pressures specific to a 1973-mall-to-2011-town-center township.
Most of Voorhees’ residential canopy was planted with the post-Echelon-Mall subdivision boom of the 1970s and 80s. Bradford pears, silver maples, and red oaks planted then are now structural-failure age. Risk assessment matters here, and replanting is overdue on most blocks.
Route 73 cuts through Voorhees as a north-south wind corridor. Canopy along Route 73 takes more wind load than the interior streets. Crown reduction on tall mature trees here is recurring work.
Emerald ash borer is established. Untreated ash on the older Voorhees subdivisions typically fails within 3–5 years of first canopy thinning. Treatment or removal timeline — there is no third option.
Tree work adjacent to Virtua Voorhees Hospital, the Flyers Training Center, or the Town Center campus needs facility-management coordination — access timing, drop-zone management, and emergency-vehicle routing.

Tree Awareness just removed two huge dying oak trees from one of our client's properties as step one of a total back yard re-design. We love how neat, efficient and precisely the work was executed. And the client was away while this was done. Talk about trust! Great job on behalf of our client.
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.
Been using them over 20yrs. Professional, experienced and fully certified and insured. Worth it not having to worry about anything. Handles everything.
Outstanding service, on time and professional. The services live up to the business's name. I chose Tree Awareness for my tree care about 10 years ago based on their name and description of services. Many tree services have truck labeling that indicates tree removal as their primary service, whereas Tree Awareness is focused on preserving the appearance, function and health of trees in this era, which poses so many challenges to tree health. Employees are supported with training and supervision, and it pays off. Excellent customer communication results in satisfaction. Tree Awareness does not hesitate to recommend other companies that perform known, satisfactory services when some special treatment is indicated.
These guys know a lot more than just how to cut a tree down. This is a profession tree service. Always nice to deal with a hands on owner.
Three decades of South Jersey work means Paul has handled subdivision-era canopy, hospital-adjacency tree work, and civic-property removals across outer-ring suburbs like Voorhees.
Tree Awareness, Inc. is owner-operated and TCIA-Accredited. Less invasive, more in harmony — we keep mature trees alive when the structure supports it, and remove decisively when it doesn’t.
Cost is driven by trunk size, access (an interior Echelon lot vs an open Stafford Farm property), proximity to structures, and whether stump grinding and haul-out are included. Every Voorhees job gets a free written estimate.
Voorhees Township does not typically require a permit to remove a tree on private residential property. Properties with conservation easements may face additional review. We help homeowners verify with the township before scheduling.
Yes. We coordinate with facility management on access timing, drop-zone management, and emergency-vehicle routes. Insurance documentation provided for property files.
Voorhees is one ZIP code: 08043.
Yes. We diagnose canopy thinning, evaluate whether trunk-injection treatment is still viable based on canopy loss percentage, and implement a treatment schedule when appropriate. For trees past treatment threshold, we recommend and schedule removal before structural failure.
Late dormancy (February–early March) is ideal. Avoid pruning oaks April through July to prevent oak wilt vector activity.
Yes — 24/7 emergency response. Call (856) 241-0489 and we’ll dispatch the same day in most cases.
