INTEGRITY
Zachary Carper, landscape crew leader, Cleveland territory,
Commercial Landscape Services (CLS), was driving
alongside the main road of the Laurel Lake Retirement
Community in Hudson, Ohio, when he noticed resident
Robert Leppo slip and fall on the sidewalk.
Carper was able to safely pull his truck off the road, and
aid Leppo in getting back on his feet and to his front door.
"I would want somebody to do the same for me or
my family because wanting to help others should be
a natural reaction," Carper said. "The property is very
community-based, and I know if it was me who had fallen,
someone would have helped me too."
RETIREMENT COMMUNITY
ASSISTANCE
While working at a job site on a hospital property, sales
arborist Ethan Ramirez, Davey Tree Expert Co. of Canada,
Limited, Nanaimo Residential office, called an all-stop
after noticing a man had lost control of his electric
scooter nearby.
Ramirez led the team's response, treating the man's
wounds, while teammates kept him upright, gathered
first-aid kits, and called emergency assistance.
"It was really important to lead by example and stay
calm, but also lend a hand," Ramirez said. "There may
be time pressures on our path to complete work in time,
but we have to be aware of the public around us. I think
it highlights Davey's culture of care and the teamwork
that we strive for."
SCOOTER ACCIDENT
PROMPTS TEAM RESPONSE
Ethan Ramirez
The Leppo's commended Zachary Carper through a written
letter to Davey, for being a "true hero," and helping when he
saw someone in need.
The Davey logo appeared front and center at one
of the most exciting tracks on the NASCAR Cup
Series circuit in March, when the Joe Gibbs
Racing DEWALT

#20 car driven by Christopher
Bell earned pole position for the start of the race.
Thanks to our partnership with DEWALT tools,
Davey was at the front of the pack for the start
of the NASCAR Cup Series Cook Out 400 at
Martinsville Speedway. The shortest track on the
cup series, Martinsville lends itself to exciting,
paint-rubbing action. Bell earned pole position
as top qualifier with a qualifying lap time of 19.7
seconds, clocking a top speed of 96 mph. Bell
finished the race second overall behind race
winner Denny Hamlin.
