Flynn ChesCo Tree Service, owned by Dan Flynn, covers the Kennett Square and Unionville side of Chester County: Kennett Square Borough, Kennett Township, East Marlborough Township, West Marlborough Township, Newlin Township and Pennsbury Township. The office sits at 720 East Market Street, Suite 107 in West Chester, a building in West Goshen Township, and OpenStreetMap routing puts the trip to Kennett Square at roughly 12 miles and about 25 minutes. The work here includes tree removal, tree trimming and pruning, stump grinding, arborist services, land and lot clearing, and bamboo removal. Calls are answered 24 hours a day, every day, and estimates are free.
Mature street trees on Kennett Square Borough's one square mile
Census figures for Kennett Square show 2,340 housing units and a median construction year of 1957, with about 29 percent of homes built before 1940 and 56 percent built before 1960. On a borough that the Census Bureau measures at roughly 1.1 square miles, that age shows up in the trees. Shade trees planted alongside those older houses tend to be full grown now, with limbs reaching over roofs, porch corners, narrow driveways and the service wires that run to the house. Clearance pruning, deadwood removal and removal of trees that have outgrown a small lot are the usual needs. About 53 percent of homes here are single-family detached and 15 percent are row or twin houses, so crews often work in tight back lots where a tree has to come down in pieces rather than be felled.wedge
Hedgerows, woodlot edges and open acreage from Unionville to West Marlborough
North of the borough, Unionville sits about two miles up Route 82 in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District, and the land opens into the farm country of East Marlborough, West Marlborough, Newlin and Pennsbury Townships. This is the mushroom-growing region described on Kennett Square's own history, and much of it is still working ground. Properties here commonly have fence lines and hedgerows that have filled in with volunteer trees, woodlot edges left behind at the rear of building lots, and overgrown acreage where saplings and vines have taken over pasture. Land and lot clearing, hedgerow work along fences and lanes, and removal of leaning or dead trees at a woods edge are the typical jobs. Newer subdivisions in Kennett Township often have builder-planted trees that are now large enough to need structural pruning before poor branch unions fail.
Rain and freeze totals recorded at the Avondale and Chadds Ford weather stations
The NOAA station at Chadds Ford, about 6 kilometers from Kennett Square, records roughly 48 inches of precipitation a year in its 1991 to 2020 normals. The Avondale station, about 7 kilometers out, records about 14 days a year with an inch or more of rain and roughly 109 days a year at or below freezing. Heavy rain soaks the soil and loosens root plates, so a tree that stood through years of wind can lean or uproot during a long soaking storm. Freezing nights bring ice load onto limbs that are already weak or hollow. Those two conditions together are what break branches over driveways and roofs in this area. Flynn ChesCo answers storm calls around the clock, and pruning out deadwood and overextended limbs before the season is the practical way to reduce the risk.
