Third time using Cabanas. Chris and his crew are remarkable. Very thorough and professional and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend this company. read more

WARNING: make sure work is completely done before full payment is given. This guy knew my mom some how and we used him for cutting down a large tree in my backyard. Initially he quoted $2500 for the videos we sent. When he showed up, he said $4500 and gave me a very hard time haggling him down to $3500 with including trimming two other small trees and shaving down the stump of the big tree. Still felt like I was being got. He started that day and did a ton on day one. Day 2 I was out of town so my mom stopped over at my house. She walked up to a bobcat on my front lawn with a very young child sitting inside laughing. She then started walking to the back to tell Chris that's not okay when she ran into another toddler with no shoes running around the two chain saws on the ground in the yard. In the back, I guess there were family members hanging out with them eating, a wife and grandma. My mom sat down and all the family members left. When using my neighbors property to remove tree pieces, he did not ask permission when digging up their flowers and hostas to make way for themselves. After cutting down the tree, he left the stump unshaved and told us that he did not include that in the price. Chris and I specifically talked about the stump being included, but he denies. He also left 7 enormous, immovable chunks of the tree on my front lawn for 5 days, doing a lot of damage to my grass. Someone finally came to pick them up today After repeatedly calling the past few days with no answers and no responses from anyone. We had to beg him to come get the trunks. This service was unprofessional and regrettable. Find someone more reliable and trustworthy. read more

I needed to have a tree trimmed. I received a call back right away and a few days later they were able to fit me in their schedule. Great service and clean up everything before they left. They were very professional and was able to help me with a stump issue around my gas meter. read more

They were drinking on the job and sleeping on our neighbors chair swing!! Completely disrespectful and unprofessional!

Cabanas Tree Service was taking care of a branch for a neighbor and I asked him to give me a quote for some tree trimming and other work in my yard. He gave me a quote of $750 and then proceeded to have some of his workers do the smaller portion of the work which included removing some lower hanging very small branches on a couple of trees. I had also asked him to pull in some of the branches on my arborvitae which I assumed he could do better than I could. He proceeded to quickly take twine and just rope all the branches in. The major part of the work he said he would come back to do after he took my check for $750. He never came back even though I called him several times and I ended up taking all the twine rope off and doing the work myself on the arborvitae. I had to eventually call another company to do the major work. Definitely a scammer. read more

Chris helped us with taking down some diseased trees as well as keeping our healthy ones balanced by removing old branches. He is also great for firewood and very reliable as a source for finding new trees to plant! Greatful for his tree knowledge and happy with his service! read more

I called Chris from Cabanas Tree Service based on Solitaire and Linda's reviews to trim our large maple tree in the front yard and to trim my father-in-law's maple tree too, who lived next door. As stated by the ladies, Chris was very reasonably priced, seemed to be knowledgeable, fair and honest and was insured too, so we hired him. I had asked him to come out at a certain time on a Monday due to a scheduling conflict that my father-in-law had, but he arrived 2 hours earlier. I think we misunderstood each other. So his crew worked on my tree 1st and while they had to wait to do the other tree, I asked if they could trim my shrubs too. They did a wonderful job on both trees and ended up trimming the shrubs next door too! His crew was very polite and cleaned up the yard very nicely. I would definately hire him again and would highly commend Chris to others. Not only does he trim trees and shrubs, but he does landscaping too for a very reasonable price. Although, I would not use the phone number listed for his office 847-221-2163. It is an old number, which no longer belongs to him and needs to be changed on Yelp. He now uses his cell phone number, which is listed in the phone book as 847-875-4702. read more

Couldn't have been happier with the work these guys did. They are extremely hard and fast workers and super thorough! Chris the owner is exceptional. Takes time to listen and to also educate. I felt the prices were fair as well. Hands down the best tree company I have worked with! read more

Have used Cabanas for years. Not only cut down dead trees, but also replaced beautiful trees. Highly recommend Chris and his crew. Great to work with. read more

I contacted a few tree services from Yelp and Cabanas got right back to me within an hour. I needed to have two trees removed and the stumps ground. In addition we needed a few trees pruned on our property. Christian walk with me around the property and let me know what he thought would be the best plan of action. His quote came in quite reasonable and fair. They came out two days later and did a fantastic job. All of his crew were very competent and respectful. They left our yard clean and did a great job. I will definitely use them in the future. read more

I can't review their actual work, because they never showed up! My husband scheduled an appointment and not only did NO ONE show up at the appointment time but after calling and leaving messages, no one has called us back either. Disappointed at the severely lacking customer service. read more

We had a tree emergency today. Old oak had damaged roots from repaving driveway more than a year ago. It looked healthy but apparently had rotted roots. With no warning, it fell and was caught from crushing a car by another large tree. Called 4 tree services. Not only was Chris the first to answer, he rearranged his schedule to deal with our emergency. The job was finished at at an affordable price, before the other 3 providers called us back! He moved a Japanese maple from another area to conceal the loss. Great service, response time and quality work. read more

Based on Linda K's review, I hired Chris for firewood and to take a look at my trees as well. He was reliable--came to my house with the delivery, on time as promised, and was a great deal to boot! I was completely confident that he was an honest, knowledgable and hardworking individual. I would definitely recommend (as a matter of fact I did and another neighbor also purchased a load of wood from him and was very pleased) and would use him again. I also had him take a look at my trees and provide me with an estimate. He was clearly very well-informed and educated (he is a certified arborist) and he obviously cared that I was happy with the work they did. He explained everything up front, and walked me through it all afterwards. No hidden charges (he actually did MORE than what he'd promised in the estimate). I would definitely recommend. P.S. I had hired another service (Beaver Tree) who came out and provided an estimate at the end of October and promised time and time again to come and do the work. After being put off three times over six weeks, I figured enough was enough. Chris came on Friday, did the estimate and did the work on Monday. read more

Bait and switch here. Christian Reyes gave me a quote, (came out and seen the tree) tried to say it was someone else with HIS company that gave the quote, so Christians price doubled??? Does not honor his word or quote. Proceeded to make excuses about clean up/mess not having the right equipment or the right climber? Bottom line, he clearly was not equipped when he came out and did not want to do the job. read more

I live across the street from the site where Cabanas just took down a huge dead tree. The tree was felled right into the street. I am so impressed by the professionalism of your workers!! The crew had the entire street cleaned up within, like, 20 minutes. I am amazed and would like to send kudos to all the men on the job site. Bravo! Great job! read more

Chris and the guys did an excellent job taking down an old pine tree we had. They quoted and cut the same day. Price was good, job was done quickly and they cleaned up everything! I would highly recommend Cabanas!! read more

We were so happy with Chris and his team! We received three quotes from companies and Chris was the only person to notice that a tree was snapped in our front yard which could have caused significant damage to our house if he had not recognized this. With this degree of attentiveness, we decided to go with Chris and his team. Chris was able to identify 10 different trees at our new house, share knowledge and gave recommendations for our yard. We had the snapped tree taken down and his group was able to get it down very quickly. David replaced our entire patio (re-level the soil, power washed the bricks, and hand piece a patio back together). David was extremely polite, worked 11 hour days, and we could not have been more impressed. We will only work with Chris and his group for any future outdoor maintenance. read more

We were fortunate to find Cabana Tree Service to remove a tree and additional trimming around the yard. Chris, the owner, was knowledgeable, professional, honest and fair in total costs and did a FANTASTIC job and i highly recommend to anyone whose in search for tree issues. read more

Cabanas Tree Service - Tree Services Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

We had to remove our three trees as soon as possible due to inspection processes and limited time. They came the next week after the first contact and removed all three of our trees in 2-3 hours time. Also, they cleaned up really well after removal and removed the branches and everything. The price was also reasonable with all the fast work and clean up they did. read more

I have used Chris and his crew for years doing all of the tree work on our fix & flips and rental properties. They always do a fantastic job for a great price, far better than most of the other people I had quote jobs for us. Thank you Chris! read more

I use a wood burning stove to heat my condo near the lakefront. I burn over one cord of wood every winter. I source from all over Chicagoland. Chris has the best firewood in Chicagoland! Service is extraordinarily. Contacted him in the morning, facecord of oak was delivered and stacked in the afternoon. The wood is clean, seasoned and burns nicely. It's so clean, I brought some into the house. Highly recommended and Chris is my new wood guy. read more

This company has great customer service. Called on Super Bowl Sunday to get a quote on a tree and stump removal. Christian showed up about an hour after our call to provide a very reasonable quote. The crew was very professional and the clean up was spotless. Would highly recommend using this company. read more

Used Cabanas again just this week to remove a tree and grind some stumps. Still the best prices and Christian couldn't be a nicer guy.

I called Christian on Sunday to do some more work for me, and he was out here on Tuesday, He and his crew are extremely knowledgable, efficient, and hard-working....not to mention very affordable. He is very trustworthy in his suggestions and truly cares about his work. I can't say enough about Christian and his company. I have tried several other tree/landscaping services in the past and I will never use anyone else! read more

After several quotes and estimates, Cabanas Tree Service had the absolute best prices. A very picky relative had used Cabanas before and had nothing but great things to say about their service and results. After receiving our estimate on service, Christian and his crew were out two days later to complete the services. Even though it was raining, they still completed all of the work with in a very short time frame. They grinded a stump, removed several thorn bushes, a dead tree, removed old broken lighting and removed additional bushes. Before they were finished, they made sure to clean up the area nice and neat. Chris was extremely flexible, personable, polite and knowledgeable, giving advice on upkeep and additional landscape maintenance. We couldn't have been happier with the results and we can finally enjoy our summer, tree stump and thorn bush free! I would highly recommend Cabanas to everyone. Please make sure to use his cell phone number @ 847/875-4702 as the number listed on the yelp profile is incorrect. read more

Cabanas removed a very large oak tree and and ash tree off of my property. Christopher, owner, was professional and personable, as was his crew. Their cleanup was perfect. Chris will now apply special feeding mechanisms to a few of my trees. Being a professional arborist, Chris is knowledgeable in all-things trees . I highly recommend his services. read more

BEST tree service in the area!! I will never use another company! I called for a couple estimates and he came in $1,200 less than my first quote for the exact same job! I was nervous because I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for but he proved to me that he can do an amazing job and still keep his prices low! Because of their excellent work, we are now going to hire him for more jobs around the yard. We had a ton of work done and they were fast, efficient, clean, and very professional. Chris the owner is great and I could tell he's an expert in this field. They did such a great job, my neighbor hired them to do their yard and paving a porch. They seem to do more than just tree services...I'm having him come back to do drainage pipes and paving as well. I'll come back after he completes that work and update you on how well they did. - Don't waste time looking further, he was the lowest price in the area (at least from what I found) and his work is excellent. read more

They have always done a GREAT job for us. They took down one of the biggest mulberry trees that was right next to our house (3 other tree companies wouldn't touch it and one other wanted to bring in a crane and then finally called back and said he wouldn't touch the job). Christian and his crew meticulously dismantled the tree and there wasn't a scratch on the house or deck plus he had the best bid of the bunch. He then took down a huge willow that had dropped a limb and crushed my shed. This was also a huge tree and done at a very reasonable price. The just last week a neighbor's tree feel towards our yard and was hung up on a smaller tree and the crown was in one of our trees. Chris was at our house within a half hour assessing the situation and came out first thing in the morning to diffuse this dangerous situation. They then trimmed back the crowns of the neighbor's other dying trees that hung over our property to eliminate potential widow makers and trim up our large maple that needed thinning for under $1000. As an Arborist he also recommended feeding some of our other trees and bushes that looked a little stressed out. If you need someone to take care of your trees and bushes and is honest, knowledgeable, attentive and also reasonable with his rates then look no further. read more

We called Chris about 2 weeks ago to remove 2 pine trees. He gave us such a great deal and cleaned up the yard beautifully after it was done. And he was able to do the work the next day! We will definitely call this company again for future needs. Thank you for your hard work!! read more

Don't bother calling them. Came and gave a verbal quote. Did not follow up with proposal. Kept making excuses that equipment is broken ( if it was would have messed up the job) and never showed up at promised time. Seems unreliable and lost our trust and business. Lost time waiting for a response as calls or texts were not returned. read more

I called Cabanas Tree Service based on generally good reviews on Yelp. Chris gave me a very competitive quote for removing 5 large trees, several smaller ones, hedge trimming and a significant hedge pruning. His crew did a good job on the tree removal. We agreed to leave the major hedge pruning work till fall on his suggestion in order to protect the plants. He missed two promised return dates to complete the work and complete a stump/root removal as promised. He now won't answer my phone calls. As noted by other reviews, Chris presents as a very friendly (honest?) guy therefore I was lulled into believing he would return to complete the work. I made the mistake of paying him in full and tipped his crew. It appears Chris is less interested in honoring his commitments once he has your money. read more

Great price and beyond excellent service. I had some tree limbs/branches fall on my front lawn after that blizzard a couple weeks ago. I left Chris a voicemail this past Saturday and he showed up at my house probably within the hour. I was shocked at how quickly he arrived - I would definitely use him and his crew again! read more

Great customer service, I was absolutely satisfied with the work they did. They didn't leave a mess behind and everything was done quickly.

We needed help cutting down four large trees on our property. I own a chainsaw and like cutting things down, but these were large, dangerous trees to remove - two of which were dead and leaning on other live trees. We found Cabanas on Yelp. Chris was very responsive, and quoted and completed the job with a crew of three before the brand name company we've used in the past could even get out to quote it. Cabanas was well priced (way below what I'd expect of the franchise tree company), very professional, personable and very knowledgeable. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat! read more

Chris and his team worked hard and did a great job. I heard about Cabanas Tree Service via a flyer that was left on my door for stump grinding. They came out right away and left the stump beautiful and the price was very reasonable for a five foot stump! I called Chris again to remove a tree and trim up all around my property. What a great service. Chris was on the spot the next day. Chris listened to my concerns and made great suggestions. The place has never looked better. The price value could not be matched. I will call Chris and his team at Cabanas again. read more

sign a contract to do multiple stuff for $3200, paid most of the money before work, the work was done completely but yet end up paying for everything. been 4 months now, and every other day I call, only given excuses everytime, this week or that week, coming today, or tomorrow morning. just my advise, not to pay till you are 100% satisfied or you will be chasing after these guys, I would call someone else to get the stuff done. All you will get from these guys are promises. since they didnt come, I ended up paying someone else 800 dollars to redo what they messed up, and get her done, so now I wont be calling them anymore, nor I recommends NEGATIVE STAR if I had an option, this is my honest opinion. read more

I observed Chris and his crew during two different visits to my neighbor last year - one for tree trimming and one for tree removal. In both cases, they had to be careful not to injure the extensive (and expensive) specialty landscape plantings. They so impressed me with their care and diligence that I asked for a bid to limb up a 90 year old, ivy-strangled elm, located in a difficult-to-access area between my garage, a neighbor's garage, and a privacy fence. Chris' bid was the LOWEST, but the work he and his crew did was of the HIGHEST QUALITY! Before starting work, Chris re-verified, in detail, what I wanted, made suggestions or revisions based on his knowledge as an arborist, and consulted me as they worked to be sure that I was satisfied. He introduced himself to my neighbor, and had a very friendly, open demeanor at all times. His crew was polite and hardworking. The way they maneuvered the huge limbs to the ground, without damaging my fence or anything in either yard, was amazing! At completion, they cleaned up all the tree litter on the ground, and on both garage roofs, too! While up there, Chris blew the leaf-litter out of my garage gutters - GRATIS! After explaining that the ivy retained moisture on the elm tree's bark, which was bad for the tree, Chris and the guys helped me strip the ivy from the tree, at no extra charge! (I never could have done it without them, as the ivy had grown into the crown of the tree.) I've already recommended them to a friend of mine, and would give them 10 STARS if I could! YES, I would hire them again in a heartbeat! read more

Everyone was professional and did a great job. They even took the time to come back and hang my tree swing from a very high branch. I would recommend them! read more

fantastic job, great price the best of numerous quotes!! the guys were very professional, quick, clean, and went about and beyond. they did take a chance showing up a day early because their other job was rained out, but luckily we made the schedule work and we couldnt be more pleased with cabanas!!! will def. use them again if we ever need tree or landscaping read more
