The Washington office of Davey Resource Group, Inc. (DRG) partners with homeowners, municipalities, businesses, and other organizations to manage and protect urban forests—vital ecosystems that filter air and water, control stormwater, conserve energy, and provide wildlife habitat.
Our team specializes in the unique needs of communities throughout Seattle and King County, Pierce County, and Snohomish County. Based in Shoreline, our staff of certified experts is ready to help you achieve your goals.
In addition to tree inventories and tree risk assessments, we offer a wide range of consulting services, including:
Tree risk assessment reports, tree protection zone calculations, mapping of critical root zones and trees to correspond with project plans, soil analyses, on-site monitoring, and tree preservation action plans.
Smart tree inventories revolutionize how tree inventories are conducted, providing high-precision, objective data that can be leveraged to assess, prioritize, and monitor your urban forest through a smart tree management program.
Customized and turnkey solutions for master plans, tree inventories, data collection and analyses, invasive species mitigation, species selection, planting programs, and maintenance schedules.
With high-resolution GIS data, we can effectively classify and assess a community’s tree canopy for growth modeling, priority tree planting and planning, and the management of energy conservation, stormwater, and water resource initiatives.
Our Water Management team provides end-to-end irrigation services, including design, installation, maintenance, renovation, system audits, and customized action plans to help our clients achieve their goals.
With local offices across the country, our team of experts can provide the guidance, analysis, and quality service you need to manage the natural resources on your property. From wetlands and streams to stormwater management and tree inventories, we offer turn-key solutions for clients nationwide.
Whether you’re looking to plant new trees as part of a construction project, you have trees on your property that have grown to a size that threatens the safety of your property, or you need to preserve a tree, we can help you maximize your green investment.
Davey offers tree inventory software, AI data collection, drone and LIDAR imaging, and CAD drawing services, so you can plan each phase of your project, secure the permits you need, preserve and mitigate on-site trees with preservation measures and new tree plantings. Davey can provide the services that support your specific project needs from the start to the completion of construction into post-construction monitoring and reporting.
We also provide Level 1, 2, and 3 tree assessments that leverage sonic tomography and ground-penetrating radar to help you determine the level of risk your trees pose to the health and safety of your property, so you can make the right decision when it comes to planning and executing tree work.
Trees are a vital part of any landscape, and in an urban setting, they’re even more important to the overall health of the environment. Davey’s Urban Forestry services can help you plan, monitor, and maintain the trees throughout your property or municipality.
From field inventories to pest management and contract arborist services, our trained experts can keep your trees healthy and looking their best. Additionally, our proprietary TreeKeeper software platform allows you to manage your tree inventory data quickly and easily, so you always know which trees need attention.
Davey’s trained experts can help your urban forestry initiatives from the planning stages to the planting phase, to ongoing maintenance and expansion. Our services include:
Detecting rot or decay in mature trees is a critical part in controlling the risks posed to people and property. We utilize a variety of techniques and technologies, including Sonic Tomography, to determine the resilience of trees and evaluate the likelihood of a failure, helping property owners to make the right decision regarding the health and safety of their trees. Our trained arborists can provide:
Many community associations and campus properties have critical areas set aside for protection. Trees in these native growth protection areas can be challenging to manage, and our team will address issues to help you manage hazards while maintaining the benefits these important areas provide.
