Partner With Davey Resource Group For Your Next Project
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.
Creek Bed & Shoreline Stabilization to Revitalize Your Natural Resources
Erosion can cause heavy layers of sediment and pollution to enter streams and rivers, affecting local habitats and wildlife. Through restoration, Davey Resource Group can help rehabilitate streams and riverbanks on your property to re-establish wildlife habitats. By using native plants to help erosion on shorelines, rain gardens to manage stormwater, and pollinator gardens to promote native wildlife, our experts can help ensure your property’s natural resources continue to thrive.
Green Stormwater Infrastructure
Throughout the metro region, increasing attention has been given to clean water and reducing pollution within our waterways. Many local regulations require retention or filtration of stormwater on-site.
Green stormwater infrastructure like bioretention basins, rain gardens, bioswales, and other features can simultaneously achieve:
- Regulatory compliance
- Improve water quality
- Add attractive elements to your landscape
Where possible, the installation of native plant species within the green stormwater infrastructure provides the most benefit to the local ecosystem.
DRG’s experienced, local team of biologists, ecologists, and landscape designers can help you design, build, care for, and monitor effective green stormwater management solutions for your property or campus.
