Who Is XKIG? The Video That Defines a New Era of Infrastructure Leadership 

Even though our work touches communities across the country every day, most people don’t see what happens behind the scenes to keep power flowing, communications connected, and infrastructure resilient. 

Our recently released “Who Is XKIG?” video brings this vital work into focus. It highlights the scale of our services, the teams behind them, and the technology that is shaping the next phase of infrastructure support for utilities nationwide. 

Watch the full video and see the future of infrastructure, already in motion.  

A National Platform Built for Reliability 

XKIG brings together three trusted operating companies: Xylem Tree Experts, Kendall Vegetation Services, and River City Construction. These brands have served utilities for more than 50 years, supporting power delivery, public safety, and system reliability. 

Today, the XKIG platform includes: 

• 7,000 employees 
• Operations across 40 states 
• Support for nearly 300 utilities and 100,000+ miles of power lines annually

We now support a wider range of infrastructure needs, including: 

• Right-of-Way Clearing and Reclamation  
• Line Construction and Maintenance 
• Utility Vegetation Management 
• Storm Response and Restoration 

These combined services enhance grid performance and enable utilities to collaborate with a single, coordinated partner. 

A Company Positioned for Long-Term Growth 

XKIG continues to grow in size and capability. Over the past three years, the company has achieved an approximate 50% compound annual growth rate and completed 13 acquisitions that have extended its service coverage and expertise. 

Our partnership with Sterling supports this strategic expansion, including a five-year execution plan focused on disciplined growth, technology adoption, and new service development. XKIG is working to become the full-service partner utilities need, positioned to improve system performance today and prepare for the demands of tomorrow.
