Bakersfield's Trusted Tree Service Since 1945. That's more than eight decades of family expertise, local roots, and commitment to the communities we serve. General Tree Service was founded by Mortimer and Frances Lopez and is now led by their son, Conway Lopez, carrying the family's values into the modern era of professional arboriculture.
What started as a family business has grown into a company that serves residential homeowners, major corporations, municipal clients, and maintains a wholesale tree nursery. But the core mission hasn't changed: combine generations of experience with modern science, serve the community with integrity, and deliver quality work at fair prices.
That continuity of ownership and values is rare in the tree service industry. We're not a franchise or a corporate chain. We're Bakersfield people, working for Bakersfield people, the same way the Lopez family has for more than 80 years. That means personal accountability, expert knowledge, and a genuine interest in your success.
Have you been a General Tree Service customer for years, or is this your first time hearing about us? We'd love to earn your business. #TreeCare #Bakersfield
