Carlos was timely with communication and gave a very reasonable bid on site. He helped us assess a tree that was in poor health and recommended removal. Not only did he complete the job the next day, he also provided recommendations on how to take care of other trees in our yard and kindly helped us prune a struggling lemon tree. We highly recommend Cabrera Tree Care!

Great communication. Came to see the job twice to make sure quote was accurate.
Provided advice on what to clear out, what to remove. Carlos is the owner and came to do the estimates.
Finished the job quickly and efficiently. Would hire again for any additional work needed.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kay R.San Francisco, CA02Aug 26, 2024
We have used Carlos for years, but our last tree work was poor and very expensive. I am only giving one star since his workers are good and effectively removed a stump and the branches that had grown up around it. We are elderly and were not able to get down to the yard to see two trees he agreed to shape were untouched. I left a message complaining about this but, a week later, there is no response. Another tree was not brought back as far as agreed. If you want shaping, pruning, made lovely, look for someone else. If you want a tree removed and can supervise the work Cabrera might be OK for you. He will come readily to give you an estimate and the workers come on time. As a long time customer, I am very disappointed with this last job.

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!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Haney A.San Francisco, CA012Jun 12, 2024
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 againHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Jeannie S.San Francisco, CA1016Nov 27, 2023
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.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
