Common FAQs
When is the best time to prune Oak trees?
Trimming should take place when your Oak trees are dormant. In the Chicagoland area this is late Fall to Winter, when insect activity is at its lowest.

Pruning helps ensure that your Oak tree thrives and remains beautiful all year round. It also helps prevent potential safety risks like falling branches.
What are some signs my Oak tree needs pruning?
Some of the common signs your tree needs pruning includes dead or broken branches, overcrowded limbs, and low hanging branches.
When to avoid pruning Oak trees?
You should not prune Oak trees during the growing season which is March- Nov, when trees are vulnerable to oak wilt disease. Instead wait for them to be dormant before trimming.
Do you provide free estimates?

Our Top Reviews
Gabriel’s crew did an excellent job on installing the sod in our backyard and we are very pleased to share our positive experience. A few highlights:
1. The situation of our backyard was a little complicated, so I called Gabriel to consult. Juan came over on time and was professional, knowledgeable, customer centric, and patient. He shared his knowledge and made a few good recommendations to address our interests and concerns. Thanks to his expertise, we hired Gabriel for the sod project.
2. I had some new ideas and requests during the middle of the sod project. Gabriel, Juan, and the crew were flexible in making adjustments to accommodate our requests, a level of flexibility that we sincerely appreciated
3. The crew worked hard and efficiently, paying great attention to detail and ensuring our new grass blended seamlessly with our neighbor’s lawn.
4. I also chatted with the owner Mr. Gabriel who was knowledgeable and humble. Gabriel emphasized his commitment to ongoing training for his crews and investing in better equipment to provide safe, clean, and high-quality services to the community.
5. Juan provided a thorough follow-up, offering detailed care instructions and even stopping by to ensure the sod thrived.
We are beyond pleased with Gabriel’s work and look forward to hiring Gabriel for future landscaping projects. We wholeheartedly recommend Gabriel and his team for their outstanding service.

We had a tall dead river birch tree and two dead spruce trees that needed to be removed. In addition, we had a tall pear tree that had been previously trimmed but it was done very poorly. Add two large maple tree and one smaller plum tree that needed thinning and trimming. We got several estimates from the top known tree companies but Gabriel’s Tree Care Company stood out from all. We met with Romeo who was excellent on discussing all issues and problems with the dead and living trees. He was so knowledgeable on all of our trees. He truly cared on how to properly trim our two large maple and pear trees. The work crew from Gabriel was very thorough and professional. They did excellent work and clean up all very well. I would highly recommend this company to anyone and especially Romeo.

Gabriel's are top notch professionals. They have turned our humble abode into a luxury outdoor living space that didn't break the bank. We keep coming back! Concrete garage floor, concrete driveway, patio and decorative flower beds. Gabriel's also does pools! Can't wait for that project to finalize. Very prompt and quality work would recommend the landcape, hardscape and tree service. Thank you Gabriel for the great work done at our home.
