Saluting Branches Volunteer Day
On September 17, our rescom arm was proud to once again participate in Saluting Branches, with our teams volunteering in Suffolk, VA, and Charlotte, NC. Saluting Branches is a non-profit that honors American service men and women by organizing volunteer tree and landscape care for the property dedicated to our veterans. Each year, this event unites tree care professionals across the country to honor our veterans by caring for and beautifying their resting places. We’re grateful to be part of this effort year after year, giving back to the communities we serve and paying tribute to those who served us.

Trees & Utilities Conference 2025
The Trees & Utilities Conference in Knoxville is in the books, and it was a great week for the Xylem crew!
We had the chance to swap ideas, strengthen connections with clients, and meet some of the top folks in the industry. A big thank you to everyone who came and worked the booths. It was great to see so much interest in what we’re doing.
We’re bringing home lots of energy and fresh ideas, and we can’t wait to keep building on that momentum.

Compliments for the Crew
"I want to thank Steve Hosaflook and his team for doing such good work at our home. I particularly appreciated that he took the time to come the day before and let me know what he would be doing and to find out from me where your team would need to be careful of the trees that we have planted. This kind of communication makes such a difference." - Brenda B.
