Fabian and his crew did a stellar job trimming 3 very large oak trees on my property and hauling away an intimidating wood pile that had been sitting around too long. Fabian is very knowledgeable, professional, and highly skilled. My trees have never looked so good. He provided an estimate, showed up on time and he and his top-notch team did a superb job trimming the trees and excellent clean up. They were very efficient, safety-minded, and hard working. I am very impressed. I highly recommend. read more

Fabian is not only friendly, he is incredibly knowledgeable about trees, and vegetation. He spent quite a bit of time speaking with me about my trees and foliage and spent time answering all my questions. Once on site, He and his team were fast and thorough! They cleaned up before they left, leaving my home and yard looking respected and cared for. Fabian's pricing was more than fair, especially for how much knowledge he imparted to me and how quick he was able to booking me in and get the job done right!!! Thank you I will be calling him for services again. read more

Fabian and team are professionals! Trimmed and cared for about 15 trees and taught me more about hat they need. Highly recommend!!

Recently had Fabian and his crew take down a large redwood and prune a dogwood and some other trees. He was excellent as always! This is the fourth tree he has taken down for us and every job has been excellent! read more

Friendly tree care and Fabian provide a great service at a great rate. The trimming, removal and grinding were done with mindfulness and precision. They went above and beyond the quote to help clean extra pre-existing waste from the property on their own. read more

Fabian and his crew have been keeping my trees trimmed and healthy for many years now. Fabian, the owner, is well educated on trees, shrubs, and all things green and growing. I trust them implicitly. In fact, they are here at my home right now performing tree maintenance, which keeps my home looking manicured and keeps my trees healthy. read more

I highly recommend Friendly Tree Care. Fabian, the owner and his crew are very reliable, professional and knowledgeable in what they do. Calls and emails are also answered promptly. What I like about them too is that they are respectful of the property and will make sure that the surrounding plants around the trees they are servicing are not harmed. I have used their services for almost 7 years now. They're my go-to-company whenever I need pruning & trimming trees. I first used their services in 2019 re: removed a cypress tree that was dying. I was impressed due to the care they give to the property & the safety practices observed, Since then I am their repeat customer. Pricing is very reasonable. I am always beyond pleased with how Fabian and his crew do their job. Blessed to have found this honest company. Well done! read more

Excellent. This is the third time that we have used Friendly Tree Care to do some major tree pruning. We have two large Plane trees (looks like a Sycamore), about 60' tall, that had grown wild and had lots of dead branches. Fabian and his crew did a wonderful job pruning and reshaping these big trees. They also trimmed a Corkscrew Willow tree. As usual, they were on time, worked hard, cleaned up the debris, and were very respectful of my property. They do excellent work at a fair price. read more

I have been using Fabian for years, and I am sorry I am just now yelping about him. He is by far the most professional, efficient, and cost-effective tree service we use. We employ him for tree removal and trimming. A few times we've called him for advice and he came for free, gave advice, and refused to charge us as we previously had employed him, paid on time, etc. He is amazing! I regret to say we once went with another service, BP, as they were like $300 cheeper on a project, but we were very unsatisfied. We had to ask Fabian for help after and he was sooooooo chill that we didn't previously employ him. I think he knows he is the best so he was like "Ya, that's what you get." Hahaha, but never ever said anything, and was just eager to help fix it. read more

The staff at Friendly Tree Care led by owner Fabian Mardones are super professional and get the job done lickety-split. I appreciate when Fabian sent the estimate for a branch removal project, that he sent along his insurance certificate. He showed me an honesty and integrity that goes a long way in this business world. Bravo. read more

Great customer service and reliability. I will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you!

We are beyond pleased with the work Fabian and his crew did for us this last month. They took down one very large Chinese Tallow tree that had a fragile understory of treasured plants beneath it. None of those plants (and one sizeable Japanese Maple) were harmed. There were also several large trees that had to be pruned and multiple dead brances that had to be removed We felt so lucky to have the crew there making everything look so much better (and safer) without even leaving a hint that they took out so much tree material. Fabian and his crew are truly talented artists. Denice D. and Jim T. read more

Ive been using Fabian and his crew for over a decade now and cannot recomend them enough. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and on top of it all, affordable. I cannot recommend him enough. If you need your trees trimmed by an amazing arborist, look no further. Friendly Tree Care has you covered. read more

Fabian arrived on time to give me an estimate. He patiently listened to my comments as we walked around my one-acre property. He sent me an itemized proposal. It was easy to schedule the work at my convenience. Fabian and his crew performed the requested work for me today. They arrived on time. They were really polite and respectful of my property. I appreciate that. Fabian reviewed the work to be done. These guys work hard! They are clearly an experienced team. The results were outstanding. Really good work, including clean-up. I paid a very fair price and certainly got my money's worth. Friendly Tree Care is for sure my arborist / tree trimmer for future work. read more

I wanted 8 trees cut and removed and 2 of them were tall and older. From the first meet to get the estimate, they were professional and made me feel the care. All my questions were answered and more information was shared with me that normally no one will bother to mention because they only want to take your money. I was quoted a very reasonable estimate. I had gotten several other estimates but no one took so much pride in their work and showed how much they care from the start. I signed and agreed and scheduled the job with them. They communicate everything timely. This was a 2 day job on 2 of the hottest days of the summer. They showed up on time and were ready to go. From the very beginning, they were very professional and respectful to us and the house as well as to the neighbors. I have a lot of plants in the ground and in pots. They made sure that all of them were safe. After each day, they cleaned up before leaving. They cleaned up after themselves as well as some of the mess that was already in the yard. They did an amazing job and I absolutely will recommend them. I know other companies can do the job, but the level of care and service that I got from them was great. Absolutely the best choice for me. read more

I needed 5 palm trees removed - try to find a company that removes palm trees. Friendly Tree Care does!! Fabian was fantastic! He provided me with an affordable quote which included the stump grinding!! Fabian and his crew were there on time and were professional! They left the area spotless, you would never have known there were 5 trees! I will be using Friendly Tree Care for all other tree trimming going forward! read more

I had the pleasure to have Fabian and his team from Friendly Tree Care trim all seven of our palm trees. They arrived on time, were friendly, worked expediently, and disposed of all the removed fronds, seeds and loose bark. They even cleaned up the items that naturally fell onto the ground and our pool surface during the trimming. They offer fair pricing, too. The before and after pictures below shows the quality of their work. I've even received compliments from my neighbors on the beauty of their work. Without a doubt, I will utilize their services in the future. I highly recommend Friendly Tree Care!!! read more

They are experts who truly live up to their name! They are a pleasure to work with. Everything was great: their pricing, scheduling, and work! They were on schedule - even came early as their schedule allowed. They did expert thinning and shaping of a very large tree, cutting thicker branches only - not disturbing the new growth. This was challenging, due to size and limited accessibility. They did amazing work!! They also cut back a Crepe Myrtle, removed a volunteer tree, and cleaned up a few other issues. The cuttings were removed and the yard looks great!! Well done and Thank You! read more

I woke up to a very large oak tree which had fallen overnight taking a second oak and other trees with it. Fabian was out that same afternoon. He gave me a quote and we scheduled the removal for the next day. His crew arrived promptly, cleared, ground out the remaining stump and cleaned the area. I've used Friendly Tree Care for years and will continue using them. I do not hesitate to highly recommend this company. Please let them know Liz recommende read more

Called Fabian for tree trimming estimate October 2018. He came right away but didn't make it to my front door. Saw him start to approach but then went straight to my huge tree. The surprise for me, when I joined him, the one huge branch that gracefully arched over the street was cracked by the trunk. He could see the crack from the street. Sadly, I had to set an early December date for him to take that branch and trim the rest of the tree, as I was going to be out of State over Thanksgiving. Well, as it turned out, Fabian contacted me around the 18th of November to ask if he could move the date up due to high wind predictions. I was still out of State, but agreed it would be best and asked if he could text photos to subdue the "shock" when I come home, to which he kindly obliged. As you can see, the integrity of this company is very high, Fabian's communication, spot on. I would gladly recommend his tree service to anyone who needs trees taken care of. read more

I gathered quotes from Yelp and neighborhood sites about a tree removal that was damaging our walkway close to the house. Fabian came out and talked to me about what was happening and why, as well as the options. He was very kind, professional, educated me about the trees and gave a reasonable price quote. We scheduled and he was easy to communicate with, letting us know a time frame to expect him, came with a good crew and they were quick and efficient. Would highly recommend and will use again. read more

Fabian and team were great from start to finish. I had a dead tree to remove, and during the consultation, it was clear that Fabian had a lot of expertise and knowledge. He even provided an assessment of the health of another tree in my yard and gave me lots of helpful tips on caring for it. I was especially impressed when he asked questions about irrigation lines near the dead tree so that the stump grinder wouldn't accidentally cut into any underground irrigation. That was something that never even crossed my mind, which is what you want when hiring a service provider. I also appreciated Fabian's professionalism. When emailing me the quote, he also emailed over Friendly Tree Care's insurance information and clearly had his license number on the website. To me, this is a sign of a transparent and trustworthy business. Last, but not least, their quality of work was great. The team quickly removed the tree, stump, and were very thorough about clean up and removing debris. I highly recommend Friendly Tree Care. read more

Loved that they showed up in masks and on time both days. Had 8 trees trimmed and they also finished grinding some stumps that a previous company only did surface grinding. Fabian is professional, "Friendly", and reasonably quoted the job. We needed the job done before new landscape could be started and even though they were booked out 6 weeks, he got our job done when a couple days opened up for him. We couldn't be happier! All the trees look great, but our old Valley Oak is beautiful! I attached a before and after of our Valley Oak. read more

Fabian is one of the few contractors for our home that we remain very pleased with & would hire again. Did a great job, gave lots of great tips (such as using neem oil for an organic way to control aphids and fungus). He stated he'd cut our tree logs into smaller parts for free so i can use it for our wedding. He forgot and shredded our trees. But brought me other logs from his stores when i asked about it. Anyway, overall did a great job, seemed very knowledgeable & professional (rather than the vibe of a youtube DIYer), really helped our trees be healthier & less in the way. read more

Basically the perfect tree company! I've used them twice now, and they were ideal both times. Excellent communication, great prices, punctual, and professional service. They were both speedy and thorough, removing our two trees, trimming our tree-sized hedge down to the height we specified, and leaving the area completely clean. No need to look anywhere else! read more

We have been doing business with Fabian for a good 4+ years now. I just realized I never left him a review. Just absolute top notch job and clean up. Trims all my palm trees and just so knowledgeable. Thanks for the service and we will call again next year like every year! Couldn't be happier. read more

I'm going to ask Yelp to help out with the mapping on their site. I called Friendly Tree Service ask them if they work in Sacramento area there's a shadow on Yelp that shows that they do. They called me back and told me no that usually do Folsom, El Dorado and Roseville. I appreciate them calling me back and letting me know. read more

So we looked up this company on yelp and were impressed with the reviews. We noticed the map covers most of the I50 corridor. They advertise service in the following areas.... serving Fair Oaks, Folsom, Citrus Heights, Orangevale, East Sacramento, Arden Arcade, American River. Our address is off I50 on Bradshaw in the zoned map area on their website, and is 15 miles from Folsom, 10 miles from Citrus Heights and right off of Bradshaw. The company had a very polite lady fielding calls but told us we were outside of their service area. If this is accurate then why do they put a service map that is different then what they tell customers? Highly disappointed in the process but in fairness we did not get to experience their actual work Update - I received a response from the owner of this business. He started by admitting to the issue and apologized for not having accurate service maps on Yelp but......then proceeded to tell me that I took to yelp to disparage his family owned business and that his receptionists offered to service me. My reply is this...over 85% of my reviews are highly positive with 4 or 5 stars. All of my reviews are factual based on my experience during that visit. So in no way am I someone that simply uses yelp to hurt businesses. I am a huge proponent of small businesses and you can tell that by looking at the businesses I review. The facts on this incident are and will continue to be that this company had a map showing service to my house, but when called, I was told they don't. That's it. I did not criticize the actual work because no work was performed. I will also tell the owner that your receptionist did NOT offer in ANY way to make an exception or resolve my request by servicing us. In addition I was on my hands free car system and my wife and 28 year old son listened in on the conversation. If your receptionist told you otherwise, then you have other integrity issues within your business. Finally, as a former business executive handling hundreds of millions of dollars of business, I would coach you in your replies. If you want to reach out to customers and apologize, that's great and it's a true foundation for a successful business. But reaching out, apologizing then telling the customer they are wrong or lied does your business no good. If you disagree, then simply don't reply. If you you want to discuss incidents, than be neutral in your response. But debating a customer will only make your business look non customer centric. Best of luck to you and I still wish your business much prosperity. read more

Fabian and his crew did amazing work! We had a lot of redwood and cedar trees that needed maintenance. Fabian was honest about what needed to be done and how often we should have the trees maintained, and he answered all of our questions along the way. On the day of the work they showed up right on time, finished when they said they would, and left the job site cleaner than they found it. We will definitely use Friendly Tree Care again! read more

Love this crew! Fabian is excellent at what he does! I'd never take my business elsewhere! After they finished our job my neighbors were thoroughly impressed and several asked me for their contact info to schedule their own appointments. And sure enough two weeks later this crew was back on our block servicing our neighbors properties as well! Great job guys! Thank you for taking pride in your work and doing it so well! read more

Talk about knowledgeable!!! What a great experience working with Friendly Tree Care was. They really took the time to thoroughly investigate our tree problems, and they were not rushing to cut down our tree. They really did help to save our tree! read more

We first hired Friendly Tree Care to remove and prune several trees in October 2017. We had recently bought our house and several trees had been neglected and unfortunately had to be cut down. Our main concern was safety. Fabian came out and took his time pointing out the problems and advising us which trees should be removed and which trees needed to be pruned. His crew did an excellent job with the pruning and removal and cleaned everything up meticulously. I contacted Friendly Tree Care recently to inquire about additional pruning and removal and Fabian came out the same afternoon to evaluate the trees and advise us on the best course of action. Even after deciding not to move forward with any services at this time, Fabian looked at additional trees in our yard and gave us some good pointers. He is thorough and honest. I highly recommend Friendly Tree Care to anyone looking for trustworthy, experienced tree service professionals. read more

Fabian is a very kind and knowledgeable tree expert. He gave me excellent advice on caring for my problem tree through the winter, and I'll ask him back to take the next steps in the spring. I highly recommend Fabian for his expertise, professionalism and thoroughness. read more

Fabian, Gustavo, and the crew are by far the best tree care service that I have ever seen. They are prompt, professional, courteous, and highly skillful. From the beginning to the end, they worked so efficiently; it truly appeared as though they enjoy what they do. They are fantastic at satisfying the customer. They are helpful, and they are careful with the yard plants and flowers. They complete the job with a superb cleanup. I can't wait to get them back to do more of our trees. I would not even consider anyone else for our tree care needs. I guess that I owe it to my wife for finding them. If you need your trees taken great care of, do not hesitate to call them! read more

Excellent! Chose Fabian's company because of his clear knowledge about trees, reliability with appointment time and getting us the estimate in a timely manner, and his communication about everything he was thinking and planning to do. I felt safe giving this job to him. His estimate was similar to the others I received. His whole team showed up on time and were all very professional and worked diligently. They had great skill in doing everything safely and quickly. And cleaned up nicely when they left. Fabian treated the tree stumps and they will be back another day to grind them after the treatment has done it's work. I highly recommend Friendly Tree Care: very impressed with his knowledge, reliability, skill, communication and care through every step of the process! read more
