Covey announced that the Davey Board of Directors elected

added to the Davey Strategic Plan Vision 2030; the
acquisitions of LandStudies and Natural Directions; and
the SEED Campus opening.
"We achieved many of our goals and objectives in 2025
and recorded a lot of wins," Covey said. "We obviously had
our bumps, but we're known for our ability, even as a big
company, to be able to pivot, adjust, buckle down and come
back stronger."
For 2026, Covey said the company is projected to reach
$2 billion in total annual revenue.
"It's just a number – we all know that," Covey said.
"But, similar to the way we felt when we hit the first
$1 billion-mark (in 2018), there is a positive psychological
impact that will be there. It's a nice milestone and is a
testament to our ability to provide opportunities to our
employees by growing the company."
