Woodmont Country Club
Since 2010, Davey has pruned trees and provided plant health care services to the historic Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, MD.
Woodmont Country Club was founded in 1913 in Rockville, MD. Over the years, it has become a premier golf destination in the Washington, DC area. Woodmont offers two 18-hole championship golf courses, a nine-hole short course, and an extensive practice facility across over 500 acres of meticulously maintained grounds.
Maintaining the prestigious Woodmont Country Club and its extensive tree canopy is a collaborative effort requiring highly skilled experts. For Woodmont, those professionals are found at Davey.
Adding To Woodmont’s Long History
In 2018, record-breaking rainfall and flooding left soil waterlogged for most of the year, followed by a significant drought. These extreme conditions placed considerable stress on Woodmont’s trees. Anticipating these challenges, Davey conducted a walkthrough and a comprehensive tree inventory to assess the condition of the trees. This information was then mapped along with cost projections. Davey’s exceptional work during this time led to a collaborative partnership.
Davey crews are on-site as needed, removing and pruning trees for safety, canopy shaping during the winter, and performing storm cleanup and hazard reduction tree care during the growing season. Davey’s experts also meticulously trim trees to keep fairways playable. Davey uses their knowledge to provide consulting services during construction projects, protecting root zones and helping Woodmont preserve its tree canopy while continually improving its grounds.
In addition to tree care, Davey crews performed plant health care services to help Woodmont control Cherry Shot-hole disease, installed lightning protection to the trees, and performed soil mitigation services.
“Our focus is on the client experience, and we want to do what’s necessary to make sure their property is taken care of and looks better when we leave than when we got there,” Brian Leatherman, assistant district manager at Davey, says.
Looking Toward The Future
Woodmont Country Club prides itself on its ability to provide top-tier player experiences for over a century. Through a partnership built on trust and communication, Davey helps Woodmont continually evolve, ensuring members and players experience high-quality services on pristine grounds.
“Davey and their team have proven that they understand and respect what we’re doing here,” Lisa Barton, grounds manager and horticulturalist at Woodmont, says. “It’s a relationship that we’ve built over the years. They take a different type of dedication and willingness to help us so generations to come can enjoy this property.”
