Embracing the Skies

Our commitment to innovation is mutually beneficial for our company and our clients, turning environmental research and innovation into cost savings and revenue generation. In 2021, Davey continued its commitment to innovation by implementing spray drones for use by the Davey Resource Group (DRG) Environmental Consulting Division. Spray drones improve safety for our employees by separating the applicator from the pesticide application and allow for the targeted spraying of invasive species in areas that would otherwise be unreachable. Spray drones are currently being used in Ohio for wetland remediation with plans to expand the service to Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina, and Indiana.
