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.

"I had 5 large trees in my yard that were badly overgrown. As I was googling for tree trimmers, someone from Silva showed up on my porch and said they could do the job immediately for $2000. I do not know if that was a competitive price since I had no other bids, but I was anxious to get the job done and so I said OK. 6 or more guys worked for 3 hours and did a thorough job of trimming very high trees and left the place cleaner than when they arrived."

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."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Pergolas may have a 50% to 80% return on investment, whether they’re standard, manual, motorized, or smart pergolas. Your pergola will add more value when you choose a structure made from durable, long-lasting materials and when the pergola is properly installed by a professional. Extra features like a motorized roof, smart louvers, and heaters or misters may give you a better ROI.

There are a few differences between pergolas and gazebos. Both structures provide shade, but pergolas are more minimalistic, with four posts and a terraced roof. Gazebos usually have an elevated floor and are typically shaped like a polygon with six or eight open-air sides and two small sets of steps leading up to the platform. Gazebos also tend to have pointed, shingled roofs and ornate accents. If you want a structure that keeps out water on rainy days, a gazebo may be a better option—though you can purchase an awning to go over your pergola to keep out water.

For optimal sun exposure, strategically place your trellises along the northern boundary of your garden bed or adjacent to a fence or wall. Conversely, consider situating the trellises on the southern side in sun-drenched locales to create soothing shade for heat-sensitive plants, effectively screening and sheltering them from the scorching summer sun.

Although dependent on the type and size of lumber, most 2-by-4-by-8-foot pieces of lumber cost anywhere from $3 to $6. Softwood lumber like pine falls on the lower end of the spectrum, while hardwood lumber like oak or walnut falls on the higher end. Different retailers and lumber yards can also vary in price, so it helps to shop around to compare prices.

Pressure-treated wood is a classic and budget-friendly choice for building a pergola. If you’re going for a more natural look, opt for hardwoods such as redwood and cedar. These naturally resist insects and rot, plus they have stunning color and texture on their own, so you’ll be able to skip stains and paints.
