"Be Aware!!! AVINA killed my TREE and they DENIED it. We had a very nice big Brazilian Peppertree in our front yard (see photo #1). On 2/13/24, Fidel Avina from AVINA Tree Service trimmed the tree. A couple weeks later, some leaves started turning brown and drying up. Unfortunately, the Peppertree died completely in late June when all the leaves turned brown and dried up (see photo #2). I was told by a second tree company that my tree died because it was trimmed too much and also the chainsaw they used might be unclean. When I called AVINA Tree Service to take a look at our Brazilian Peppertree they trimmed, the first response I got from Chris from AVINA was Your tree was sick before we trimmed it. This excuse is not even logical. Fidel Avina and his team never told me my tree was sick before, during, or after the end of their tree service when I paid him $370. Our tree was very vibrant as shown on the photo before they trimmed it and I have confirmed with a nursery that a big tree will take years to die if ità ¢ s sick. Chirs kept telling me that he would send someone to look at our Peppertree again, but no one showed up. It was not until 10/7/24, that Fidel Avina showed up at our house to talk to my husband. He told my husband à ¢ it was your wife asking me to cut it smaller Yes. I asked him to cut it smaller. Isnt that the purpose of trimming? However, I did not ask him to kill the tree! The Peppertree would not need trimming if it was not big. I thought AVINA was licensed to do the tree trimming service and he claimed he has been a Tree Arborist for 20 years. To my knowledge, to become a certified Arborist in the state of California, you need to pass a written test after being in the Arboriculture field for a minimum of 3 years, but he blamed the paying customer for his own mistakes! To move forward, my husband offered to help with half of the cost of a new tree (so we can choose the tree we like) but Fidel asked my husband to also cover half of the tree removal on top of the cost of the tree. Lets be honest here, we went to a mainline Nursery with 9 locations in Southern California, Moon Valley Nurseries, in order to find out how much it would cost to replace our full size Brazilian Peppertree with a new one. The total cost was $19,334.35 with the Peppertree alone costing $14,999. We did not ask AVINA for $19,334.35 (see Photo 3) to replace the Brazilian Peppertree they killed. For less than $2,000, they should be able to remove the dead tree and plant a new younger tree than our now dead Peppertree. It is unbelievable to me that Fidel even asked my husband to pay for half of everything on their own mistake! I believe AVINA should first refund me $370.00, for the tree trimming service they failed at. After that, AVINA Tree Service can then talk about how to come up with a compromised solution with a younger tree."

Tree stump removals FAQs
Yes, grinding a stump is worthwhile if you plan to use the area for planting, recreation, or building. Removing the stump clears space for new landscaping or construction projects. Additionally, as the stump decomposes, it can rob the soil of nitrogen, affecting the growth of other plants. Stumps are also a tripping hazard, making removal a wise choice.
The time it takes to grind a stump depends on its size, density, and the grinder's performance. A small, soft stump can be ground in 15 minutes, while a large, dense stump may require up to eight hours for complete removal. Factors like the stump's structure and your grinding technique affect how quickly you can remove it.
Grinding a stump is often the best solution for clearing an area for construction or planting. It removes the visible portion of the stump, but the roots remain underground. If you need to remove the roots for long-term stability or design plans, you'll need to hire a professional for full stump and root removal. This ensures your site is completely cleared for future projects.
Leaving a tree stump in your yard can cause several problems. It can become a breeding ground for pests and diseases that might harm nearby trees and structures. Plus, the decaying stump can interfere with your landscaping plans, making mowing difficult and promoting unwanted new growth that can disrupt soil stability. Removing the stump eliminates these risks and improves your yard's safety and appearance.
To effectively kill a stump, you need to interrupt its nutrient supply and speed up decay. Drill holes into the stump and fill them with a concentrated herbicide like glyphosate, rock salt, or Epsom salt. This method ensures the substance penetrates deeply. Alternatively, cover the stump with a dark, heavy-duty tarp to deprive it of sunlight, which accelerates the process. Remember to follow safety guidelines when using these methods.
