List of Arborists

The following people are Certified Arborists and members of the International Society of Arboriculture.

By providing this list, Tree Fresno is not providing a recommendation about the company or their services. As Certified Arborists, they have the knowledge of proper tree care.

None of them advertise "Topping" in their phone book advertisement as one of the services that they provide.

Topping destroys the natural shape of the tree and jeopardizes it health, so it is not an acceptable method of pruning shade trees.

For more information about pruning, contact the Tree Fresno office at 559/221-5556
