Case Study: Woodlawn Cemetery preserves historic grounds and enhances safety with Davey Tree

Woodlawn Cemetery maintains 400-acre historic grounds with Davey

Woodlawn Cemetery, a historic 400-acre property and National Historic Landmark in the Bronx, NY, required a proactive plan to maintain its vast grounds and 6,300 trees for both visitor safety and aesthetic appeal. The cemetery engaged Davey Tree to manage tree health and preserve its historic architecture.

Davey implemented a comprehensive solution, beginning with a detailed tree inventory and assessment by Davey Resource Group. A dedicated crew of approximately 20 professionals now performs ongoing grounds maintenance. The partnership also included creating a horticultural work development program for local youth. Davey's services helped Woodlawn Cemetery achieve its long-term strategic goals, ensuring the grounds remain safe and beautiful for over 100,000 annual visitors.
