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

Our certified arborists protect critical power, water, and transportation systems throughout San Luis Obispo County, Monterey County, and Santa Barbara County, including Paso Robles, Atascadero, Templeton, Morro Bay, Arroyo Grande, Santa Maria, and Lompoc.

With years of experience and full ISNetworld compliance (ID #400-417179), 4G Tree delivers professional utility vegetation management that meets both state and federal safety standards.

Tree Trimming & Pruning for Infrastructure Clearance

We perform line-clearance pruning and right-of-way vegetation control to maintain proper clearance around power lines, substations, pipelines, and access roads. Our pruning follows ANSI A300 standards and CAL FIRE / CPUC vegetation management guidelines, minimizing outage risk and liability exposure.

Hazard Tree Identification & Removal

Our ISA Certified Arborists use advanced assessment tools to identify hazardous trees and limbs that could threaten critical infrastructure. We safely remove or mitigate high-risk trees near power corridors, roads, bridges, and utility easements — ensuring compliance with CPUC GO 95 and GO 165 vegetation safety rules.

Vegetation Management Planning

4G Tree works with utility providers, city agencies, and transportation departments to develop long-term vegetation management plans. These plans reduce future maintenance costs, prevent wildfire ignition, and maintain compliance with CAL FIRE, PG&E, and local right-of-way regulations.

Storm & Emergency Response

We provide rapid-response tree services during and after severe weather events, including downed tree removal, debris clearance, and infrastructure restoration. Our emergency crews are trained to work safely around live utilities, roadways, and public facilities.

Tree Planting & Species Selection

Our arborists consult with public agencies to select low-growth, utility-compatible species for planting near power lines and critical infrastructure. Proper tree selection reduces future trimming cycles, improves safety, and enhances visual appeal along rights-of-way and public corridors.
