Case Study: Travis County achieves a comprehensive street tree canopy assessment with Davey Resource Group

Travis County ranks nearly 600 street trees in one week with Davey

The customer, Travis County, needed a tree canopy assessment for a water line improvement project along Quinlan Park Road. They faced the challenge of evaluating and ranking approximately 600 street trees to inform maintenance decisions during the construction project. Davey Resource Group (Davey) was hired by the county's engineering firm to provide this urban forestry service.

Davey's solution involved evaluating the county's existing tree assessment form and enhancing it with research into local municipal codes. Their team then conducted the field assessments, using a 10-category scoring system to rank each tree as Low, Medium, or High Value. Davey delivered a comprehensive report with a data spreadsheet to the county, completing the evaluation of nearly 600 trees in approximately one week.
