Cabrera Tree Care

Carlos and his team arrived on time, listened to what our goals were and did a very professional job all the way through.

We had a challenging steep backyard hillside with mature trees, and the team really knew what they were doing and executed everything safely and professionally. Thanks!

I needed a tree trimmed. Carlos came out and gave me a bid a couple of hours after I called him. The cost was low enough that I didn't get other bids. His communication was gtreat, he's very friendly and flexible, did a great job, and the clean up was perfect. Thanks so much.

While we initially had some difficulty getting though to Cabrera Tree Care, this turned out to be because Carlos was out of the country at the time. Actually, he did phone even before returning, came out yesterday and furnished a fair estimate and also made suggestions regarding some questions we had about prudent trimming, and today took care of our fairly modest job with dispatch, professionalism, and utmost courtesy, notably cleaning up thoroughly upon completion. Highly recommended. As an aside, he also apparently attracted a visitor (or perhaps protestor), in the process (see photo below).

A tree outside our house was almost completely bent over by the wind during the big storms over the weekend. We reached out to Cabrera Tree Care, and Carlos was very professional and knowledgeable about our options for salvaging the tree. He was very transparent on pricing, and he provided great value for the cost. He and his colleague showed up promptly during a very busy time. They quickly put in some stakes and stabilized our poor tree! The job was done super quickly; we highly recommend Cabrera Tree Care!

This review is overdue, since it is for a job that Carlos made in March 2023. (soon after, I had to travel overseas and returned to San Francisco only recently).
I needed a large avocado tree removed from the back yard of a duplex in San Francisco. Tight space, access only through a garage and a family room.
Got several estimates with prices ranging from just over $ 2000 to $ 6,000 (!!!) (somebody actually quoted by phone a very competitive price but when he came to see the location, the estimate doubled...). Carlos was among the least expensive, and sounded very professional. Not only he did a very good and fast job, but his (and his crew) attention to avoiding any damage to the living area the branches and stomp had to go through was remarkable.
On top of it, very friendly and cordial: a pleasure to chat with him.
Should I have other similar projects, I will not hesitate to call him again

Carlos of Cabrera Tree Care offers a great service. He did a professional job for me, restoring my view and did an excellent job of cleaning up afterwards. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again!

WOW! What a difference a Certified Arborist makes. Carlos Cabrera of CABRERA TREE CARE is a Certified Arborist who pruned my large Blackwood Acacia today. Carlos and his assistant did a fantastic job from start to finish. They showed up ahead of schedule and did the job quickly, efficiently, and their cleanup work was exceptional.

What is a Certified Arborist? Here are excerpts from the following link: https://www.americanarborists.net/tree-tips/2017/march/what-is-an-arborist-anyway-/
- "A Certified Arborist is someone who has gained extensive training, experience, and a high level of knowledge in the art and science of arboriculture."
- "Therefore, if you're thinking about hiring a tree pro to take care of and maintain your trees, a Certified Arborist is the way to go. Anyone with a chainsaw can chop up tree branches and limbs and call it pruning. It's the knowledge and expertise in the proper way of pruning, trimming, and removing trees that really makes a difference."

I very highly recommend CABRERA TREE CARE for any tree-related service. Carlos Cabrera is a friendly, specially trained professional who deals with the art and science of planting, caring, maintaining, and diagnosing trees. Therefore, I can highly recommend CABRERA TREE CARE for all your tree-related services.

It was a pleasure to work with Carlos and his team! He was quick to come by and provide a competitive quote to prune 4 overgrown trees. Once we decided to move forward with Cabrera Tree Care, Carlos was very communicative re: scheduling. It was a bit tricky with all the crazy rainy weather, but we were able to schedule quickly (faster than other services).

The Cabrera team showed up on time - in fact, a bit early! - and got started right away. They were very professional and did a great job great thinning out and shaping our four trees. They were extra careful with their equipment and did a thorough job cleaning up afterwards. We are very happy with their work! Not only do the trees look much nicer, we get more light in our home and can walk under our trees without ducking.

I highly recommend Carlos and his team! We will definitely work with them again when our trees need their next pruning!!

After reading the reviews, I contacted Carlos.
Very good response time and he came out to do an estimate.
Very professional and friendly.
His rates aren't insane.
He was extremely knowledgeable too.

I highly recommend Carlos and his team at Cabrera Tree Care. I had a large blackwood acacia that had gotten too large for my small SF garden. The crazy winds of this past winter ('22-'23) terrified my neighbors as my wee garden is surrounded on all sides by houses, including next door and their glass solarium. Were this tree to topple, it had nowhere to go without damaging one or more houses.

When the storms subsided, I started looking for a tree-removal company and checked out a few that were recommended by neighbors and on social media. Many of the companies wouldn't even come and look because the tree was so tall. I contacted Carlos, he called me back and came out right away, showed up when he said he would show up, and gave me a competitive estimate. I did a bit more due diligence over the next week, decided to hire him and scheduled him to take out the tree and stump. On the day of removal, he and his team showed up when they said they would, worked all day taking the tree out, made me some beautiful rounds to dry and make my kid a table (at my request), and came back another day to take care of the stump and roots. Carlos is himself the climber and he and his team on the ground were so professional, comfortable and reassuring in the face of chainsaw, ropes, pulleys. I think it's worth noting that the other workers and Carlos himself all seemed happy to be working, and to be working together. This was important because it says so much about an outfit that folks are treated respectfully and well, and this whole thing was pretty traumatic for me since I loved that tree; Carlos and the other workers made doing the responsible thing go as smoothly as possible. Then they came a couple days later (owing to my schedule, not his) and ground out the stump. They had to take my tradesperson's alley door off its hinges and lift that heavy stump grinder up into the garden to make eliminating the stump possible. Both days they kept the sidewalk so clean it impressed the neighbors such that they went out of their way to compliment Carlos' work.

I can't recommend Carlos and his team enough.
