McDonogh School
Since 2023, Davey has trimmed trees and performed plant health care services at McDonogh School by tending to the 800-acre campus, from the on-site farm and orchard to the equestrian area and campus buildings.
Founded in 1873 as a farm school for boys, McDonogh School sits on 800 acres in Baltimore County, MD. Today, the coeducational school serves approximately 1,500 students in prekindergarten through 12th grade who enjoy the campus, fields, and woods. More than 60 faculty members and their families live on campus, and the five-day upper school boarding program accommodates more than 100 students annually.
McDonogh takes pride in its amenities, including its grounds. Unique to the school is the 10-acre Roots Farm, an outdoor classroom where students plant and harvest produce that is used in the campus’s dining halls and donated to local food pantries. The school also has an equestrian center and more than 15 athletic fields. Students and teachers enjoy hands-on learning through exploration of the surrounding fields, woods, streams, and ponds.
McDonogh and Davey began a partnership in 2023, assuring the campus is kept in top condition.
A-Plus Tree Care
After performing a walkthrough assessment where safety, accessibility, and aesthetics were the main concerns, Davey compiled a tree management plan that includes the center of campus, equestrian center, farm, and orchard.
Davey performs tree care on campus, prioritizing location and risk. Every spring, crews trim trees around the Childs Memorial Terrace, home of important traditional events like graduation ceremonies, to ensure the safety of students and their families. In addition to regular maintenance, crews quickly mobilize if needed to clear debris or trim trees damaged by high winds or other weather events. Plant health care technicians also visit the campus monthly to fertilize saplings and young trees.
Staying At The Top Of The Class
Davey knows that McDonogh’s facilities are essential to the life of the school and a treasured asset in the Baltimore community. By showcasing their expertise and ability to provide high-quality services, Davey has forged a long-term partnership with McDonogh to help the school maintain its immaculate campus for years to come.
