Flooding, soil and fallen trees

The North Branch of the Rancocas Creek floods parts of Mount Holly in heavy rain. According to the National Weather Service gauge information for the creek at Mount Holly, flooding begins near 11.7 feet, around 13 feet the creek overtops the Mill Dam and floods streets such as Washington Street, Park Drive, Trinity Lane and Commerce Street, and the record crest was about 14.3 feet in June 2019. After a flood, soil around trees in low areas stays soft for days, and trees that stood fine for decades can lean or fall when the next wind comes through.

Check trees near the creek, Mill Dam Park and Iron Works Park neighborhoods for new leans or heaved soil after high water.
Do not let a crew drive heavy equipment over waterlogged lawns without talking about ground protection.
Flood debris can lodge in low limbs and trunks; a contractor can clear it while they are there.

Historic district lots

Mount Holly's historic center along High Street, Mill Street, Pine Street and Garden Street has older homes close to the sidewalk, narrow side yards and mature trees. Large removals are often done in sections or with a crane from the street, which may require coordinating with the township for street or sidewalk use. Ask the township about trees in the curb strip.

The weather office in town

The National Weather Service forecast office that issues watches and warnings for the Philadelphia region and South Jersey is known as NWS Mount Holly. Its storm warnings are a good cue to have someone look at dead limbs before the next nor'easter or summer line of thunderstorms arrives, not after.

Covering all of Mount Holly

Requests come in from the historic district and the blocks around Mill Dam Park and Iron Works Park, and from streets along High Street, Mill Street, Washington Street, Garden Street, Pine Street and the Route 541 bypass (ZIP 08060). The Mount Holly Township area sits near the North Branch of the Rancocas Creek, so mention in your request if your property is low-lying or close to the water.

Mount Holly questions

Should I remove trees after a flood?

Not automatically. Many trees recover. Look for new leaning, cracked soil at the base or exposed roots, and have a tree professional check anything near the house.

Can work happen while the ground is still flooded?

Usually only emergency work. Contractors often wait for ground to firm up to avoid getting stuck and damaging lawns.
