Craig & his crew are thorough, knowledgeable, professional, honest & very conscientious! They took care of a giant oak tree that was diseased & in danger of falling on our house & garage as well as an enormous pine tree that had already had several limbs collapse on/near our fence. They also expertly trimmed many other trees on our property. Finally, they placed support timbers underneath the remaining portion of the giant oak tree (mentioned earlier). All of this work was done for a fair & honest price which, obviously, was greatly appreciated! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Craig & his entire crew!! read more

We've used Craig several times for major tree trimming on 4 acres. Prices are fair and the jobs are completed as promised.

We had a 65 year old tree that out of no where started dropping branches. We had to get it removed. El Gabilan was recommended by my neighbor who used them. I called and spoke with Craig, super friendly, easy to talk to guy. He came out and gave me a very reasonable quote so my wife and I decided to use them. About 2 weeks before we were set to have them come out a branch broke and was half hanging on. I called up Craig and sent him a picture. He got right back to me and said he was all booked up but would send a couple guys out to take down the hanging branch. Craig went out of his was to make sure my family and property were safe. He didn't charge us anything extra as the quote was to remove the whole tree any way. His guys came out shortly there after and did a very good and speedy job. We would definitely recommend El Gabilan to any one needing a tree trimmed or taken down! read more

I met Craig while taking bids for tree removal. His bid was very fair considering what you get with his service. A certified arborist's advice, licensed and bonded work, top of the line equipment/professional staff and best of all...a generation of wisdom. Craig can tell at a glance which species of eucalyptus I have, how much longer my oak had to live, how to save my remaining trees and offered the soundest advice. All this he did while assessing the paid job. He offered his wisdom freely almost as if passing along a craft. Craig did not win the bid because Mother Nature took care of the trees for me but he will be the first I call next time. If anything to pay forward his good will. There's is much to be said about a true craftsman of a trade. I for one appreciate and value everything that entails. read more

We've been using El Gabilan Tree Service for many years! Craig analyzed and determined how best to preserve and shape our large trees. We will continue to use his services!!! read more

I contacted the owner (I think) yesterday to ask to come by my property so I may show the scope of work and get a bid. He mentioned that he would call me the next day (today) to give me an hour window for him to come by. Well wasted my whole day waiting for a phone call. I want to make clear I gave no time window, HE DID! I will call another contractor as this one is for lack of better terms unreliable! read more

Craig is the Owner of the company and he's great, as are all the people that work for him. We've been using El Gabilan for some time and they always do a great job and know what should be cut back, what shouldn't be and how to get the trees cut so they'll be healthy and strong. We've got about 10 Oaks and 1 huge Cypress and they all are doing great, thanks to this company. Craig runs a super business and calls when he can't be there in person to work alongside his crew. They clean up and except for the trimming, we'd never know anyone had been here. Thanks so much El Gabilon! read more

They recently came to my house to remove a large tree and some tree stumps. Work was done fast and at a very reasonable price. They are GREAT! read more

I called several contractors for work pruning several trees and removing a large stump. Craig came to look at the job and gave me a written bid -with a very reasonable price- the same day. He brought out a grinder and was patient and persistent getting past our chimney - with only about an inch clearance in each side- into the back yard where he did a thorough job grinding the stump well below grade so we can extend our patio. A few days later he was back with his crew. Frankie was the climber-he did a beautiful job on the biggest trees. The others made quick work of the smaller projects-including being hired away by my neighbor to thin and top a tree in her yard. A large branch damaged the lattice panel on the fence. Craig and crew replaced it with no quibbling at all. They cleaned everything up including raking up the little bits and blowing away the dust. Highly recommend! I will call them again. read more

They trimmed a Maitan tree that hadn't been trimmed in 20 years and removed a huge stump from my front yard. The tree was beautifully trimmed and the crew completely cleaned up after themselves - in fact they left the area cleaner than they found it. Three weeks later while inspecting my gutters before a rainstorm, I discovered they had cleaned out the gutters, too, after trimming the tree. You can't get better service than this. read more
