Case Study: Graduate Hotel achieves reliable green space maintenance and flood prevention with Davey Tree

Graduate Hotel ends flooding at a key entrance with Davey’s 2019 stormwater fix

For over 20 years, Davey has maintained the green spaces for the Graduate Hotel in Cincinnati, providing a tranquil escape on a bustling university campus. The partnership ensured ongoing public use of these areas, but a specific challenge arose when a lower-level entrance frequently flooded after rain and snow, rendering it unusable.

Davey, through its Davey Resource Group (DRG), solved this by installing a bioinfiltration system to manage stormwater. This solution stopped the flooding entirely, allowing the entrance to become one of the hotel's main entryways. Through weekly grounds maintenance and this strategic project, Davey helps the Graduate Hotel keep its green space in top shape, providing a slice of nature in the city.
