Friendly Tree Care

Thank you Fabian and the team for a great job and outstanding service. The team took down six trees very professionally and safely. Also special thanks to Gustavo for doing a great job pruning the fruit trees. It was nice chatting with you about the cherry tree and thanks for pointing out so quickly the three grafts on the tree which indicated that I would not need to plant another cherry tree (as most cherry trees do not self pollinate and need other trees to produce fruites). I will be recommending you to any friends needing tree service.

Five Star Service from Fabian and his crew in removing a tree from our property. From getting a quote to scheduling the removal Friendly Tree care was punctual & professional and yes, they are friendly. Support your local business and give Friendly Tree Care a try!

Having to cut down the trees in our front yard was not the Christmas present we were looking forward to this year. Yet, it happened! I called several tree companies for a quote. We decided to go with Friendly Tree Care because Fabian was very professional, the quote was very reasonable & the service was exceptional! The tree removal team arrived on time, removed both trees, cleaned up not only our yard but the neighbors & gone within 1 hour. I will recommend Friendly Tree Care to anyone who needs tree removal.

Friendly Tree Care, thank you for the great job you did for me last week!
Friendly Tree Care had to cut down my red cedar tree that was about 53 years old, so it was a huge tree. It had a fungus and was not going to make it. The tree was located between my home and a neighbor’s, so this was a difficult tree to get to, but they found a way to safely cut it down.
They also knew it was a difficult decision for me to cut the tree down. And, when I asked them if they could leave the tree trunk as a bench to sit on not only did they measure it for me for my height, but they made a smooth and straight cut, so that it would be comfortable to sit on. And, it is! It’s wonderful, and I love it! Thank you, Guys for all your hard work and kindness. You really did a wonderful job!!!

Fabian and the team did a fantastic job from start to finish. Everything from the quoting process through to the clean up was very professional and well done. The team arrived onetime and went right to work. The price was very reasonable. One company did provide a slightly lower bid but, the professionalism and knowledge was so much higher with Fabian. Worth the few extra dollars. Highly, highly recommend!

College educated arbor expert — Fabian Mardones can handle any tree job regardless of size. He has been to my home several times to tend to my busy quarter acre. Fabian climbed to the top of six overgrown Liquid Amber trees and pruned them down to a perfect size and shape — and he did it all in one day! Recently he returned to cut down a couple of shrub-​like trees that had died from the drought. He ran them through his chipper and spread the chips around the base of the living trees for better moisture retention. Great company with very affordable prices!

Friendly Tree Care safely removed a huge tree that was leaning towards the house and removed another large tree in our fenced garden. On the phone, at the first meeting, and during the 3 day job they were polite, careful and cleaned up every day. We had bids that were lower than that provided by Friendly Tree Care but having the owners of the company on site during the job is important to us and worth the additional cost. They did everything they said they would do. We highly recommend this company.

The Absolutely BEST Tree Care Service! I’ve used them on 2 different occasions with great results at very fair prices. The planning and communication left no question as to When, What, and How the jobs would be completed. They Do a Very Professional Job, and I will use them again.

These guys just left our house but I cannot explain how impressed I am. They removed two diseased trees and pruned two large mature fruit trees for us.
They were the first company we contacted for a quote since I saw their great Unilocal reviews. These poor trees were butchered by the previous owner of the property. Gave us a very fair quote and also explained everything they were going to do. Had a couple others come out but they couldn’t compare to the customer service Fabian gave even when just showing up for a free quote and walking the property with my husband.
Scheduling with them was a breeze. Arrived early and was done faster than expected. Cleaned up everything and was out in no time.
I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Highly recommend, Fabian returned my call after work and came right over, reasonable price, great works, nice job shaping my oak tree. Very reliable and honest. Jeff

These guys rock! From the moment I called through the end of the job, I had nothing but a positive experience with Fabian and his team. I called for an estimate on a huge pine tree that had died and several others we wanted removed and/​or trimmed up. I received a call back I think that day or the next. Fabian came out and his estimate was well below the other one I had received. He was also very helpful and knowledgeable. He was able to start the job the following week. He and his team arrived early (wow — imagine that!) and worked diligently until the project was complete. I was amazed at how much they got done in such little time and the cleanup was commendable. Very professional, reliable, and dependable. Also, they were very respectful and courteous to our neighbors. You won’t go wrong with these guys and they work so well together.

There is a lot to say here about how awesome Fabian and his company are, but if you read no further know this: he gave me a professional knowledgable assessment of the job, a fair bid, and had patience with us when they discovered an unexpected nest of very aggressive yellow jackets under the work area that required not one, but two trips by an exterminator to solve.
For those still reading here’s more:
The assessment: Fabian walked my property and carefully looked over all three trees I was looking to have work done on. He explained what he felt needed to be done and taught me about the trees I have (2 large blue oaks we wanted cleaned up and one form of pear tree we had removed). He noted previous work on the trees that had been sloppy, requiring the trees to work harder to heal, and explained what he would do if given then the job. He came across as very very knowledgable. I immediately knew I could trust my beautiful trees to him.
The bid: we got three bids and while Fabian wasn’t the cheapest, the fact that he carried his own insurance and was extremely knowledgeable was worth paying a bit more for me.
The work: the short version is that the work was very well done. My oak trees are beautiful with all the extra weight being removed and the cuts carefully done to ensure each tree will remain healthy for years and years to come. That alone is enough to recommend Fabian. However, we had…
Bees: The work crew discovered a bees’ nest in the ground under one of our trees on their first visit to work the trees. The crew was able to complete the work on 2 other trees but the bees prevented work on one of the large oaks. Each member of the crew was stung, one being stung at least SIX times! I felt terrible and tried to pay Fabian when they had to leave the job, but he refused payment and said he would only get paid when the job was done.
Making a long story short: the first exterminator failed to find the nest (although we thought he had) and Fabian made one more bee-​swarmed trip. He was again patient with us and told me he would come back once the bees were gone.
As I have already said we solved the bee problem and the crew was able to perform the job a couple of weeks later. For his professionalism, knowledge, and customer service there is no other company I will ever use with my trees.
You should use them too.

They are the best. They are honest, provide wonderful service and complete the job as promised. I will use them again and again. I appreciate their integrity and affordable service.

Fabian and Gustavo have done multiple projects at my home this year. We live in Fair Oaks and the landscaping has been in need of a make over for years. Friendly Tree Care pruned all of our olive trees and removed a few privet trees. They also replanted a large area where we removed bamboo. They designed and replanted the area and it looks amazing!!! We enjoyed working with Fabian and Gustavo and we will work with them again soon.

Fabian and Gustavo were so great to work with! They responded to our call right away and provided their expert consultation and helped us move 5 palm trees into their new home! I would definitely use Friendly Tree Care again! Thanks so much!

We used Friendly Tree Care to prune our many trees in our front and back yards this past fall. Fabian and Gustavo were real pros! They were extremely thorough and very knowledgeable. Our trees never looked so good! They worked very quickly and cleaned up everything so well that one wouldn’t know we had any tree work done that day. We also had them remove an over-​grown citrus tree (a real ugly job), which they didn’t hesitate to do. We were so impressed with their responsiveness and professionalism that we are going to bring them back out to remove another unwanted tree. We highly recommend Fabian and Gustavo!

I called Friendly Tree Care after seeing their ad on Craigslist. Fabian came out the next day to give me an estimate on removing some trees in the front yard. He sent me an email that evening with an estimate and came out the next day to do the work. They did an excellent job. I also needed some sod and irrigation work done, and they were more than happy to help me out with that as well! They were very professional and helpful. They answered all of my many questions!

I called Friendly Tree Care on Monday and Fabian returned my call fairly quick! He came over in the evening after his day to give us a estimate on getting two trees removed. I was glad they were able to get over so fast to give us the estimate. Gustavo, Fabian’s business partner, was also there and we were ably to meet him as well. They looked at our project and give us a verbal estimate, later that evening I received an e-​mail from Fabian with the written estimate. They were able to come over two days later to do the work. We were not home when they started, but, they communicated to us when they would be there (we let them know when we met them we didn’t need to be there).
When I got home I was happy to see the trees were gone and they cleaned up pretty good. Everything we agreed on was completed to our full satisfaction!!!
They are a newer company so I was very happy to give them a chance and they more than proved they are a great company!!! I would recommend them and I would use them again!!! Great Job!!!
