Camden County
Tree Service in Voorhees, NJ
Voorhees has a canopy that's into its second generation across most of town — the established lots in Sturbridge Lakes, the corridor around Voorhees Town Center (the old Echelon Mall), and the lakeside backyards near Lions Head. The work has shifted toward removal and reduction more than planting in the last decade.

Voorhees is a neighbor town to Cherry Hill, but the tree story is a little different. Where Cherry Hill’s mature canopy is the classic post-war planting, Voorhees has a heavier mix of trees from the 70s and 80s development boom — meaning more sweetgums, more Bradford pears, more leyland cypress, and a wave of those species now hitting structural failure age.
Tree services we provide in Voorhees
- Tree removal — particularly Bradford pears and ashes, which dominate our Voorhees workload.
- Tree trimming and pruning — including reduction work on overgrown leyland cypress and ornamentals planted too close to structures.
- Stump grinding — quick same-day grinds on fresh removal stumps and orphan stumps from previous work.
- Emergency storm damage — 24/7. Voorhees gets hit hard on summer derecho events.
- Tree health and disease treatment — particularly spotted lanternfly and bacterial leaf scorch.
- Land clearing — small-to-medium lot work for additions and pool installs.
Common tree issues in Voorhees
The defining tree story in Voorhees right now is the end of the Bradford pear era. They were planted by the thousand in 80s-era developments — beautiful spring bloom, fast growth, perfect symmetry. The catch is that their tight branch unions are structurally weak, and once a Bradford hits 20-some years old, you’re rolling dice on every windstorm. Voorhees has lost dozens of them in the past few seasons. We do more Bradford pear removals here than in any other town we serve.
The second story is Bradford successors planted too close to houses. Many of the trees that went in to replace original landscaping in the 90s were leyland cypress, holly, and mast-producing oaks that have now grown into the building. Reduction is sometimes possible; relocation almost never works once they’re established; replacement is often the right call.
Bacterial leaf scorch is also widespread on Voorhees pin oaks, particularly in Centennial Mill and Echelon Glen where they were used heavily as street trees. As in Cherry Hill, the answer is usually managed decline and eventual replanting with a more disease-resistant species.
Storm exposure: Voorhees sits in the same general wind corridor as Cherry Hill, with similar uprooting risk during major events. The township’s mix of older mature canopy plus weakly-attached Bradford pears makes it one of our highest-volume storm response markets.
