We have the experience and we are committed to providing quality workmanship and superior customer service on all our applications. We at Silva's Tree Service strive to maintain our reputation as a high quality, very service oriented company with our main focus being customer satisfaction.

"Hired Silva tree service to trim 3 very large overgrown trees, 3 medium sized & some smaller ones. Have the quote & started work immediately. The crew did a fantastic job of trimming, not sure how they were able to get so high but they did. They have a wood chipper so we're able to get all the limbs chipped away The crew did a great job of cleaning up after, leaves, twigs, etc. We really appreciated the meticulous work & cleanup. Don't hesitate to call them, we will definitely use them again. The pricing was competitive."

Avina Tree Service offers the highest level of tree care in the counties of San Bernardino, Orange, Riverside, and Los Angeles. We pride ourselves on the quality of work that we provide, and we have been in business over a decade. Give us a call today for a free estimate.

"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."

"I had seven tree service companies give me proposals to remove my giant 35 year old Brazilian Pepper Tree. The tree was located very close to a block wall which I did not want damaged. Also there were cable wires above close to the tree which was a concern. The roots were massive and growing everywhere. I spoke with Esteban Vargas who assured me they could handle this without damaging any property. What impressed me was he actually listened to what I wanted done instead of interrupting me and telling me what he would do. The tree roots were a major problem and needed to be removed. I have plans to put other trees in that area of my yard. He guaranteed me that they could handle the job. The crew of four men each worked 8 hours that day and did an amazing job. I was so impressed. They spent 3 1/2 hours grinding and removing roots after removing the tree. I was so pleased with this company and how they did everything that I asked them to do. Clean up was amazing. I will refer them to my family, friends and neighbors. They know what they are doing. Mary Clayton"

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Whittier, CA

Always transport chainsaws with the engine off and chain brake engaged. Use the protective bar cover provided by the rental company to prevent accidental contact with the cutting chain. Position the chainsaw securely in your vehicle to prevent movement during transit, ideally in a truck bed or trunk rather than the passenger compartment. 

For gas models, ensure the fuel cap is tight and position the saw to minimize potential leakage. Keep the chainsaw away from passengers and other items that could be damaged.

Proper safety equipment is essential when operating any chainsaw. At minimum, you should have eye protection (safety glasses or a face shield), hearing protection (earplugs or earmuffs), cut-resistant gloves, chainsaw chaps or pants, and sturdy boots with good traction. 

Many rental facilities offer basic safety kits alongside chainsaw rentals. If you'll be using chainsaws regularly, investing in quality personal safety gear is advisable. Never operate a chainsaw without appropriate protective equipment, regardless of the job size.

While rental companies will rent chainsaws to beginners, inexperience significantly increases safety risks. If you've never used a chainsaw before, request a demonstration from the rental staff and thoroughly review the operator's manual before starting. Begin with smaller, more manageable cutting tasks to build comfort with the tool's operation. 

For significant cutting jobs, consider either taking a chainsaw safety course first or hiring professionals instead. The learning curve for safe chainsaw operation is steep, and caution is paramount.

If mechanical problems develop during your rental, immediately cease operation and contact the rental company. Most reputable rental businesses will either provide a replacement chainsaw or repair the equipment if the breakdown resulted from normal use rather than misuse. Document the issue with photographs when possible and maintain records of when you reported the problem. 

Having your rental agreement readily available when you call will expedite the resolution process. The rental company should adjust your rental period to account for any downtime.
