At 4th Generation Tree (4G Tree), we provide professional tree trimming, pruning, and maintenance services throughout San Luis Obispo County, including Paso Robles, Atascadero, Templeton, Cambria, and San Luis Obispo. With more than 70 years of local experience, our certified arborists understand the Central Coast’s tree species, soil conditions, and weather patterns — ensuring every cut supports long-term health, beauty, and safety.

We go beyond simple cutting. Our focus is on preserving tree structure, preventing hazards, and enhancing your property’s landscape value with precision pruning that meets industry-leading ISA standards.

The Right Way to Trim Trees

Proper tree trimming is essential for maintaining strong, healthy, and beautiful trees. Improper cuts, topping, or over-thinning can make trees vulnerable to disease, decay, and structural failure. At 4G Tree, we use certified arborist techniques to ensure each branch is pruned for balance, airflow, and natural form.

Whether you need detailed canopy work for oaks, maintenance pruning for ornamentals, or structural shaping for young trees, our expert crews handle every job safely and correctly the first time.
