About Delaware County, Pennsylvania
Delaware County, better known to many as Delco, has a character all its own. Found just outside Philadelphia, the county blends historic towns, established neighborhoods, busy main streets, and quiet residential streets shaded by mature trees. Communities like Media, Havertown, Springfield, Newtown Square, Glen Mills, and Ridley each bring their own personality, giving the area a strong local identity and a true sense of home.
Outdoor spaces are also a major part of what makes Delaware County special. From Ridley Creek State Park and Tyler Arboretum to neighborhood parks, wooded properties, and tree-lined streets, the county offers plenty of natural beauty in the middle of everyday life. With so many mature trees throughout the area, professional tree care is an important part of protecting homes, maintaining curb appeal, and keeping properties safe through every season. Bergholz’s Tree Experts is proud to help Delaware County homeowners care for the trees and landscapes that make their communities so welcoming.

Tree Removal and Pruning in Delaware County
Delaware County holds 576,830 residents in one city, Chester, plus 27 boroughs and 21 townships, with Media as the county seat. The largest communities are Upper Darby at 85,681, Haverford at 50,431, Radnor at 33,228 and Chester at 32,605, so most tree work here happens on dense, long-established lots.
The county has two physical geographic regions, the Piedmont and the Atlantic Coastal Plain, which makes it a different job from the New Jersey Pinelands. Hardiness is mostly zone 7b, closer to 7a near the Chester County line and 8a in Ridley Township near the Delaware River. Green space is substantial: Ridley Creek State Park covers about 2,600 acres in the county, Springton Lake is the county’s largest at roughly 391 acres, and county parks include Rose Tree Park, Smedley Park and the Chester Creek Trail System.
Pest pressure is well documented. All Pennsylvania counties are now positive for emerald ash borer, and beech leaf disease is confirmed in all 67 counties, with 34,862 acres reported in 2024. Spongy moth was Pennsylvania’s dominant defoliator in 2024 at 595,324 acres statewide, including 187,971 acres of mortality, and it strongly prefers oak. Southern pine beetle populations are generally present only in the very southeastern corner of Pennsylvania, the region that includes this county, with 224 acres of crown discoloration reported in 2024. We provide tree removal and pruning to ANSI A300 standards across the county.
Emergency Tree Service in Delaware County
September 1, 2021 was the county’s most recent bad night. A semi-discrete supercell from the remnants of Hurricane Ida showed rotation over Delaware County around 5:15 PM, and while the confirmed EF-2 tornado was documented in adjacent Montgomery County, rainfall here was extreme: 4.00 inches at Thornton, 3.81 inches at Media 1.4 N and 3.66 inches at Saint Davids. Region-wide the event produced 5 to 10 inches of rain and 239 flash-flood reports.
Superstorm Sandy on October 29, 2012 gave some areas of eastern Pennsylvania their highest wind gusts since Hurricane Hazel 58 years earlier in October 1954, produced record water levels in tidal sections of the Delaware River at and near Philadelphia, and took down many trees and power lines.
Soaked Piedmont soil plus wind is the classic uprooting combination, and on lots this tight the tree usually lands on something. We run emergency tree service 24 hours a day. Call (856) 457-0196, stay away from any tree touching a wire, and we will rig the weight off your roof in sections.
