Southeastern U.S. Industrial Facility
Davey crews are on-site at an industrial facility in Richmond, VA to perform comprehensive grounds maintenance that helps reduce liability for warehouse employees while amplifying the beauty for the attached offices.
For some companies, having offices and warehouses on the same property helps streamline operations, maximizing efficiency and saving on costs. For an industrial complex in Richmond, VA, their tenants have offices and warehouses that store equipment for a local power provider.
At industrial facilities, grounds maintenance does more than just create an eye-catching and aesthetically pleasing exterior; it also ensures the safety of the staff on-site. In 2022, the facility located on I-95 partnered with Davey to provide comprehensive grounds maintenance services for their distribution center to create a safe and welcoming environment for their employees.
A Perfect Balance
The partnership between Davey and the facility began in October 2022 on an as-needed basis and was upgraded into a full-time contract in January 2023. Davey is on-site at the industrial complex weekly to mow turf and prune shrubs. Crews also perform season maintenance, such as mulch, leaf removal, flower bed rotation, and ice and snow removal.
Because of the property’s mixed-use nature, the facility has a strict zero-tolerance policy when it comes to safety. Davey’s 5-person crew must combine functionality with curb appeal, reducing liability for warehouse owners while providing beautified spaces for office employees to gather outside of their cubicles.
Leaving Lasting Impressions
Davey’s partnership with the industrial facility has strengthened over the years. Davey has continually impressed Wesco with their expertise, leading the facility’s property manager to recommend Davey for two additional properties under their supervision.
