Aeri

What Aeri does

Aeri is a California-based vegetation management company founded in 2018 that provides utility line clearance, road and highway clearance, commercial tree maintenance and removal, herbicide application, advanced pre-inspection, and emergency storm and wildfire response services to electrical utilities, government agencies, and commercial property operators across the United States. The company employs over 250 people and operates from a Sacramento, California headquarters and a regional office in Winchester, Virginia, serving named enterprise clients including PG&E, SoCal Edison, Duke Energy, CenterPoint, and Versant. Annual revenues are stated at approximately $30M.

Service delivery is differentiated through proprietary technology and process integration: paperless field operations capture crew pattern and behavior data that is analyzed and reported for safety and efficiency; LiDAR-based pre-inspection produces high-resolution 3D terrain and vegetation models applied to railway, DOT, and pipeline engagements; and an in-house Center for Safety Excellence conducts onboarding, certification, and ongoing safety training across multiple sites with outdoor skills-testing circuits and equipped classrooms. Aeri has demonstrated surge capacity through deployment of more than 20 crews during Hurricane Beryl and maintains OSHA compliance alongside an ISNet 'A' rating as a licensed and bonded California contractor.

Revenue is generated through B2B service contracts with enterprise utility companies, DOT and municipal government agencies, railway and pipeline operators, and commercial property owners, spanning six vertical segments (electrical utility, municipal, railway, pipeline, highway/DOT, and commercial). The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by direct client relationships, a website with demo-request capture, and modest organic presence on LinkedIn and Facebook. Aeri operates as both a union and non-union shop, providing workforce flexibility that supports both procurement-mandated and competitively bid engagements.
