Swarthmore Soil and Landscape Conditions

Swarthmore Borough sits in southern Delaware County — a nationally recognized tree-canopy community surrounding Swarthmore College's Scott Arboretum. The Borough's residential character features some of Delaware County's most intensively planted and maintained landscapes, where tree roots, established perennial borders, and ornamental plantings create continuous demand for quality mulch. Crum Creek's headwaters adjoin the Swarthmore campus; the surrounding soil profiles carry the heavy clay characteristic of Delaware County's southern tier. Annual mulch at 2–3 inch depth is standard practice among Swarthmore homeowners and is recommended by Penn State Extension for maintaining the moisture and oxygen conditions that established root systems in clay-heavy southeastern Pennsylvania soils require.
