Golf Course Tree & Vegetation Management – Central Coast, CA

(Serving San Luis Obispo, Monterey & Santa Barbara Counties)

4th Generation Tree (4G Tree) provides professional tree care and vegetation management services for golf courses, country clubs, and resort landscapes across California’s Central Coast.

Our ISA Certified Arborists work with superintendents, greenskeepers, and facility managers to maintain safe play corridors, healthy shade trees, and pristine grounds throughout Paso Robles, Templeton, Atascadero, San Luis Obispo, Avila Beach, Santa Maria, and Lompoc.

We understand that every golf course is an ecosystem — our team delivers fire-safe, tournament-ready results while protecting turf, soil structure, and aesthetic balance.

Tree Pruning & Canopy Management

We keep fairways, greens, and cart paths clear while preserving each course’s character.

• Canopy thinning for improved sunlight and turf health
• Structural pruning for safety and wind stability
• Selective limb removal to open play lines and sight lines
• Deadwood & hazard limb removal for public safety
• Aesthetic shaping around clubhouses and entry drives

All pruning follows ANSI A300 standards and is overseen by our certified arborists to ensure plant health and visual consistency.

Hazard Tree & Storm Response

High winds and coastal storms can create major liabilities for golf properties.

4G Tree provides rapid emergency response and routine hazard-tree inspections to prevent downtime and property damage.

• Pre-storm tree risk surveys
• Emergency removals and debris clearing
• Crane and bucket-truck access for large trees
• Insurance documentation and arborist reports

Fire-Safe Vegetation & Brush Management

Many Central Coast courses border open space or wildland areas.

We create defensible space that meets CAL FIRE and local fire-marshal codes while preserving course integrity.

• Fuel reduction and brush clearing along property edges
• Maintenance of fire-access roads & service paths
• Weed abatement & mowing around infrastructure
• Slope and rough management using low-impact equipment

Tree Removal & Site Restoration

When removals are required for safety, re-design, or playability, 4G Tree performs controlled removals with minimal ground disruption.

• Crane-assisted removals near greens and tees
• Stump grinding & surface restoration
• Coordination with course architects for replanting or sight-line adjustments

Plant Health & Replanting Programs

Our Plant Health Care Division manages pests and diseases common to Central Coast oaks, pines, and ornamentals.

We also design replanting programs to sustain canopy diversity and visual appeal.

• Fertilization & soil aeration
• Disease and pest control (oak moth, anthracnose, root rot)
• Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance tree selection
• Long-term canopy replacement planning
