Flynn ChesCo Tree Service covers Malvern Borough and the townships around it: East Whiteland Township to the north, Willistown Township to the east and south, and Charlestown Township. Owner Dan Flynn runs the company from 720 East Market Street in West Goshen Township, a West Chester mailing address about 7 miles from the borough. The work here is tree removal, trimming and pruning, stump grinding, arborist services, land and lot clearing, and bamboo removal, with calls answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for storm emergencies. Estimates are free.
Malvern Borough, East Whiteland, Willistown and Charlestown: the drive from the West Chester office
Malvern Borough sits about 7 miles from our West Goshen Township office, roughly a 16 minute drive according to OpenStreetMap routing. East Whiteland and Willistown Townships are closer still at around 6 miles, and Charlestown Township is about 9 miles out. The borough itself is small, a little over a square mile, bounded by Paoli Pike on the south and Sugartown Road on the west, with Willistown on the east side and East Whiteland on the north. Malvern was separated from the northern part of Willistown in 1889, so the oldest streets and the township land next to them tend to carry the same old shade trees. A Malvern ZIP code reaches well past the borough line and into several townships, so tell us which municipality you are in when you call and we will confirm that your address is covered.
What Census figures on Malvern's 1,663 housing units mean for tree work
Census figures from the American Community Survey for 2020 to 2024 count about 1,663 housing units in Malvern, with a median construction year of 1974. Around 25 percent were built before 1940 and 34 percent before 1960, so a good share of the borough's homes stand under trees that have had decades to grow over roofs, driveways and service drops. That usually points to clearance pruning, deadwood removal, or taking a tree down when the trunk has outgrown its spot beside the house. About 24 percent of units are row or twin homes and 27 percent sit in buildings with five or more units, so limbs often reach across two properties and there is little room to drop wood, which means rigging pieces down instead. The 18 percent built since 2000 tend to have builder-planted trees now large enough to need structural pruning.
Ash, beech and woodland edges near the Paoli Battlefield and Randolph Woods
The wooded trails at the Paoli Battlefield, the ground along Massacre Run, and Randolph Woods on the east side of the borough put mature hardwoods close to back property lines. The same is true of hedgerows and fence lines on the larger parcels in Willistown and Charlestown Townships. Penn State Extension reports that removal is the principal control for emerald ash borer and that ash trees die after three to four years of heavy infestation. Pennsylvania DCNR, which notes the beetle is in nearly every Pennsylvania county, advises treating only healthy ash worth keeping and removing the others before they become a hazard. Penn State also reports beech leaf disease in all 67 counties, with dark banding between the leaf veins as the sign. We handle removals, pruning, stump grinding, bamboo removal and lot clearing where growth has crept in from a woodlot edge.
