Francisco and his crew are very knowledgeable and he's one of the contractors recommended by the Mountain Rim Firesafe Council. He has all the usual equipment you'd expect a top notch tree service company to have, especially up here in the mountains. Communication and time estimates can be a bit of a challenge but his estimate was reasonable and the quality of work was well worth sitting around and waiting a few more hours than originally planned. read more

Francisco is retiring and Jhordy, who was a member of the crew, has taken over. Excellent work for fire insurance cutback of trees. Also cleared brush and cleaned up everything afterward. Thumbs up! read more

We have treasured Absolute Tree Service in that they protect life and property; for the past 8 years, Absolute scales our 50' trees and trims branches away from our structure, plus they remove trees overgrown against our home. Clearly, these professionals care for and treat every job as an arborist (tree doctor,) respecting our needs and the health of each tree. The price and exceptional, courteous service, plus their wisdom is Heaven-sent! In addition, the Absolute Team worked fast & efficient; left our land, decks, & driveway swept and beautiful: an experience we highly recommend to our cherished neighbors here at the border of San Bernardino National Forest. read more

Loved these guys from the get go. From start to finish were professional and responsive. From the quote from Ernesto to the co-ordination, execution and clean up from Chris and his team. Yes they clean up very well. Went around my whole house with a leaf blower after they finished. They left it better than when they came. Very pleasant and helpful. The tree was around 400 years old so wanted to just give a delicate hair cut and treat her with respect. Which they totally got and were very gentle and selective in their cuts. I also thought price wise they were very reasonable. Will be my go to next time I need some tree trimming. Highly recommend read more

See all

Just because they are many spam calls, this business take you for a long ride to get a hold of them. They don't like client phone call. For them we all are spam. Text take a few day to get response, if is Friday 3:30pm you would a response at 7am on Monday. read more

After getting several estimates, I decided on Absolute for some tree trimming needed for my cabin in Twin Peaks (insurance purposes). From start to finish their service was top notch and the price was reasonable. Great customer service, professional and respectful staff, the work itself exceeded my expectations and they left everything spotless when they were done. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Met me same day and got started the next morning. Cut down 3 small tall trees that were leaning against and toward the house. Hauled away all the green waste and cleaned up. They are doing a retaining wall for us next. Well priced. read more

On the plus side, they were the only tree service that actually showed up when I called them for a quote. They showed up and they did the job. However, I spent a lot of money, getting my trees, trimmed, a lot of money, and the Thanksgiving after I got them trimmed I had more tree branches come down from a storm than any of my neighbors, who didn't even have their trees trimmed. So, I can't say that I was all that pleased with the job they did. And they cost a lot. read more

Excellent service all around. We needed a tree cut down due to a carpenter ant infestation and their arborist was very helpful. Francisco and his crew also did our weed abatement and we couldn't be happier. Our property looks beautiful! Highly recommend. read more

Excellent Service! I own a rental property in Twin Peaks and I called several tree services for estimates. Absolute was the only one that called back! Since I live 95 miles away it is sometimes hard to work with contractors. All my communication was done by phone, email and text. The property was long overdue for fire safety and insurance clean up. Ernesto kept in contact with me after the estimate inspection and we set a date for the job. They were very conscientious about keeping the appointment, even calling me the night before to let me know they would be there a little later than the time they thought. I had my property management company come and check the property and he told me the " the work exceeded his expectations." All around it was a good positive experience. read more

Great Crew! Job well done! They were very accommodating to our schedule and professional. Will use again. read more

These guys came up to my house in twin peaks and cut down some trees that were about to fall on my house at the first wind. I really appreciate them. read more

Absolute Tree Service! They should rename themselves the tree surgeons or tree ninjas , because they came through, executed with confidence and precision. I'd use them again for sure! read more

Excellent work! The free estimate was what we paid for the service. They took care of a precarious branch over our cabin! Job well done!

I'm new to The Mountain so finding good companies to do work for you has shown to be difficult. I feel like I lucked out with Absolute! I had been looking for someone to clear my property for INS inspection and fire safety for three weeks. I live tucked back in the forest and the people that owned before me didn't do any upkeep. It was a mess. I called around either they were all to busy and said call in a month or they didn't have a very good reputation. I was driving and saw one of trucks. I thought ohh I need to call them. Later that day I was working on my property when two people road through on horse back. We chatted and the gentlemen(Licensed contractor) told me call Absolute. Well I did and they were great. They did the estimate the same day and were scheduled to clear at the end of week. They even got me in early. I wasn't here when the work took place but when I came home I was SO happy with what I saw. One thing about me is I like things done right the first time and I expect you to deliver. They cut the branches back at the right length. When they cut down my dead pine they cut it at specific length so I can use is for landscaping later. They even made sure they fell the tree in a direction that was out of the way. Trees has to be trimmed around my roof line and the Oak bush trees were out of control. Everything looked fantastic! My neighbor even commented on what a great job they did. We had one small hiccup and some old logs got left behind. I called them to let them know. They were promptly here to clean it up. If your new to the Mountain or looking for a new company to use I highly suggest you give them a call. Great service and Tree trimming is impeccable. I will only use Absolute as long as I own this property. read more

Did not end up using absolute tree service But they did respond even though they Where booked out close to 2 months, Other Companies never even called me back. read more

I had been using another tree Service for my properties. I decided to price shop and found Absolute Tree Service. The Gentleman arrived with copies of their License to do business and their insurance information. The price was the best of 4 other companies. Absolute Professionalism read more

Great group of people that work hard and clean. They show up and get right to work, and when the day is done they are clean and courteous.

I have used Absolute on numerous occasions for tree removal. They are very professional, prompt and reasonable. We are so lucky to have them on our mountain. I only wish I were permitted to give them more than five stars. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Unfortunately, I've come to realize how difficult it is to hire individuals to work on your residence on the mountain (roofers, landscapers, painters, etc.) If you contact a company/contractor off the mountain, you'll probably be told the company/individual does not service the mountain area. If you do successfully locate a company/individual who does do local work on the mountain, you'll either: 1. Avoid contacting them completely because of their God awful Yelp/internet reviews. 2. Never receive a return call or e-mail from your initial correspondence. Or 3. Be quoted a ridiculous sum of money for what you want done to the house. The aforementioned scenarios do not apply to Absolute Tree Service at all. Francisco does not mess around. I called him on a Friday afternoon and he answered; explaining he was currently on a job, but could look at the house later that evening to see what needed to be done. He showed up as scheduled, was very friendly and informative, and listened to exactly what we wanted worked on. Our yard is a fairly decent size, and needed a ton of work after two years of neglecting yard clean-up. There were also several trees that needed to be trimmed or removed. Francisco quoted a price that was more than fair, provided us with his business card, license and insurance information, and told us he would be there the next morning to do the job! The following morning (Saturday), he and another gentleman showed up just as scheduled and immediately got to work. They did an AMAZING job on the yard; the property looks completely different. We were so impressed with the results of the front yard, we hired him to come out in a few weeks to complete yard clean-up in the backyard. If you are seeking a reliable, honest, hardworking individual for yard clean-up and tree services, look no further. Absolute Tree Service will now be my go-to for any landscaping or tree needs. read more

We were very impressed with this tree service and would highly recommend them. They were quick to respond and very friendly. They cleaned up way more than expected. They brought along their leaf blower and made sure everything was clean before they left, it was very nice. Thank you guys again for all your hard work! read more

All of the reviews you have read are true. Very polite and knowledgeable. Fair prices, fast service and lots of good advice on tree care. And perfect cleanup. I will never use anyone else again. Thanks Absolute! read more

I really like this crew! Other well known tree services came to look at the trees I needed to have done and over estimated cost, They had the lifts and all the heavy duty equipment and long waiting lists. Absolute came with a trailor, rope and saws and a really good crew of 4 guys! They did a tough job, and loaded the trailer and left! Very ,very nice to deal with. It was a tough job and rather hard to access the tall trees, but I was really amazed at how skilled they were climbing and working with minimal tools. I will be calling on them again in the future. PS They were all wearing black shirts, black pants and boots. I suggested they change their name to "The All Blacks" ! read more

They needed a few weeks to come (but I knew in advance). No problem there for me. They did a great job with a difficult tree removal and cleaned up thoroughly. Nice people, too. At this time 9/2020 they don't do stump removal. read more

These guys are artists. They took down a 20ft rotten tree in between my stairs and deck with no damage and absolute precision. Incredible work! read more

I used Absolute Tree Service last year for removal of a few dead trees at my big bear home. They did a fabulous job. I think with the amount of snow we had this winter I would have had one of those trees come down on my house. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs trees removed or trimmed. read more

Very satisfied with the company's speed, efficiency, and professionalism. Pricing was fair and the results were exactly what was requested by our insurance. read more

Healed us out when we had two trees down after the big rains. They got out there quickly, quoted a reasonable price and left the property looking clean! read more

Ernesto answered my call and scheduled an appointment that worked for me as I don't live on the property. When he had an emergency that kept him from meeting our appointment he communicated that to me immediately and let me know he would be in contact to reschedule. He called me the very next day to make a new appointment. Because I was up against a narrow deadline I had already agreed to work with a different service provider. When I explained this Ernesto said that he was very happy that I had found someone to do the work because he knew I had a deadline and he was extremely busy. I really appreciate his honesty and ethic. I am keeping his information on file for the future because I NEVER let go of anyone on the mountain who demonstrates this kind of work ethic and follow through. Highly recommend! read more

Had these guys cut down two dead pine trees in our Big Bear cabin plus trim a bunch of oaks. They came out right away, gave us a fair price, and did the work quickly and professionally. Everyone else was like pulling teeth to even get a quote. read more

Absolute Tree Works was a pleasure to work with. They were very communicative, had competitive pricing, and were very easy to work with. And most importantly, they did a great job. I would recommend them without hesitation and will continue to use them for our tree maintenance in the future! read more

I had a 70' tall tree that was mostly dead from bark beetles. Francisco estimated the time it would take and gave us a very professional estimate that was much less than our first guess price from another company. They came today and were slightly earlier than our appointment, extremely professional, kind, thoughtful, and gave clear explanations of the entire procedure. They finished in the time expected and left the area cleaner than it started minus the tree. I would highly recommend this company. read more

Ernesto and his crew did a fantastic job trimming trees 10 feet away from our house and removing some trees that we not healthy and possibly could fall and take out some electric wires. Gave a very detailed quote, showed up on time and did more that they were asked to do. Left the yard cleaner than when they got there. Would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of tree service. Keeping them on my list for future needs. read more

These guys are so professional, written estimate, license numbers, insurance info and bonded. They did every thing I requested plus cleaned up my mountain side! read more

I had hired Absolute Tree Service to trim some tree branches that were too close to my chimney. There were also other branches hanging over power lines and the roof. They took care of everything except the branches that were too close to the chimney. I had a code enforcement inspection the coming week and that tree was the reason I hired them in the first place. When I called to inform them that the tree that needed to be trimmed the most wasn't touched, I was immediately given their satisfaction guarantee. I know miscommunication, misunderstandings and mistakes happen. I was confident that especially in a small mountain community like big bear, people put their names on their work and their word is their bond. They did exactly that and sent someone immediately to resolve the issue. That is what customer service means to me. Not just when things go perfectly, but when a problem arises and how they respond to it. I will be using absolute tree service in the future. read more

Absolute Tree Service recently cleared some roadside frontage and did a great job. They were communicative and prompt with their quote and completed the job on time. I highly recommend them. read more

Wow! These guys did a fantastic job removing a large dead tree Oak tree from my property. They also removed a dead tree that fell over years ago at no charge. Definitely will use again. read more

They seemed professional- until I requested a stump job. Expected to get the promised quotes- week went by, week and a half went by, two weeks went by- and nothing is happening. Tried to ask several times about what is going on and got runarounds. Sadly I can't use your service again. read more

This amazing company got five stars only because I couldn't give it MORE! From the first contact to finished work was a matter of days, the crew showed up looking clean and professional, they got straight to work, did everything exactly as we had asked, and after cleaning the area up SPOTLESS, they were off to their next job. I will definitely call these guys back. Professional, classy, affordable, skilled and reliable!!!!! You don't see that everyday up here! THANK YOU Absolute Tree Service. You are the BEST! read more

Don't waste your time with the company = terrible customer service. Since they had good Yelp reviews I sent a message on July 16, 2020 = no response. On July 26, 2020 I texted them. First they wanted tree pics, then they wanted my physical address to see if I was in there "service zone." (Either you come to Redlands or you don't). Then they gave a price range for pruning. Two weeks ago the supervisor came to my home to see the tree. At that time he said he'd give me 2 written estimates - 1 to remove deadwood & the other for more extensive tree pruning. Still waiting...They may do great work but it doesn't matter if they are unreliable. read more
