We called Avina Tree Service in response to a door card that was dropped off a few weeks ago. Fidel came and gave us an estimate and encouraged us to get comps. I contacted two other local tree services (one just a few blocks from our home) and neither bothered to call us. The Avina estimate was very reasonable and we scheduled them to top and prune an arbequina olive, a pomegranate, two dwarf orange trees and a Mediterranean palm. They did an outstanding job, and they also remediated our back and side yards that had become overgrown with unwanted grass thanks to the recent rains. Now we're back to bare ground, ready to rototill and level and cover with weed barrier and begin stocking the yard with container fruit trees and other edibles. Fidel and his crew showed up at 8am and worked almost non-stop until after 5pm, cleaned everything up and left our trees and yards looking 110% better than they have in years. If you need expert fine pruning of your fruit trees and other trees, don't bother to call any other service but Avina Tree Service . . . you'll just be wasting your valuable time. We cannot recommend Avina Tree Service more highly than this! You won't be sorry or pay too much! read more

Fidel and Chris are so dishonest. Fidel replaced 3 sprinkler valves and one did not work. After saying he would return to fix it, both Fidel and Chris were made aware of the problem and kept saying they would fix it. They wouldn't return texts and voicemails, and wouldn't show up when I was lucky enough to contact them and set up a time for repair. I would DEFINITELY NOT recommend this company to do ANYTHING. Very dishonest and don't care about customer service when they don't do the job correctly. Don't make the same mistake I made in selecting Avina Tree Service read more

I have now used this service twice. Each time I was quoted promptly and scheduled quickly. The worked showed up on time and left my cleaner than when they arrived. The price was reasonable. I strongly recommend using them. read more

Needed tree trimming and removal service due to root problem and Insurance requirements - my neighbors insurance was warning them about the overgrowth of our trees that were extending over to their roof! Aviña was competitive in their quote and were able to do a great job on 2 trees (plus a lot of overgrowth) across over almost 75 feet of fence line. Dealt directly with Fidel, and the whole crew were prompt and efficient. They picked up all debris, including from the neighbor's property. Highly recommend! read more

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, a tree-trimming guy from AVINA Tree Service stopped me while I was driving out of my garage to go to work. He offered to trim our trees. He showed me his business card with a license number (#944972) on it. I quickly negotiated the cost of the tree trimming since there was a license number on his card, and several guys led by Fidel Avina started trimming our tree. I told him the Peppertree was too big and asked him to trim it smaller (I did not ask him to kill my tree!). While they were working, I was not watching them. I went out a couple times to see if they had finished the job, so I could pay them before I left for work, afterwards. A couple weeks later, some leaves started turning brown and drying up. I thought my tree might be in shock temporarily and would come back later. 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. The second tree company offered to remove my dead tree for $500. I declined and decided to call 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 it'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 made it sound like it was my fault that our Peppertree died by telling my husband "it was your wife asking me to cut it smaller" Yes. I asked him to cut it smaller. Isn't that the purpose of trimming? And I did not ask him to kill the tree! The Peppertree would not need trimming if it wasn't growing so fast and so large. I thought AVINA was licensed to do the tree trimming service & 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 three 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. Let's 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 1st 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. read more

Fabulous job clearing my yard of overgrowth and weeds. Fast, efficient, respectful of property.

I recently hired Avina Tree Service to remove 3 large unkept palm trees and prune two. They came out within two days of my call. This company is outstanding. Prompt, ready to work and professional. They started at 9:00 and finished in one day. They did a excellent job, at reasonable rate, cleaned and hauled away all the tree and debris. I would definitely hire again and highly recommend.

Easy & quick service the day of inquiry. Fidel provided great information. I will definitely reach out again, if needed.

A violent wind storm caused a couple of our trees to impact surrounding hard scape ( walls and pavered patio). Though beautiful, they had just become too destructive and worrisome.

Avina tree service did an incredible job cutting down the large tree that growing in the front of my house. Prices were competitive as we had gotten a few estimates but Christian sold us. He scheduled an appointment right away to come take a look at the work we needed to get done and he also gave us options at different price point which was amazing. The day of service, his crew came bright and early and got to work. Let me tell you, they were amazingly fast and accurate. The trees we had to were 50-60 feet and they had it cut and cleaned up in a jiffy. Once all was finished, they cleaned up a he mess and even picked up all the leaves that had fallen from the days before. Definitely recommending them to anyone looking for landscaping work. You won't be disappointed! read more

Took the day off. Nobody showed up for appt. They lost my business. Hired someone else.

Hire this team! A full crew shows up when scheduled. Service is quick and stellar. Avina removed a liquid amber tree and left the area so clean, no one would ever know that tree was ever there. We hired them a second time to remove trees in the backyard that kept dropping berries in the pool. It was a difficult job because of the landscaping and these professionals left the pool cleaner than when they started the job! We will definitely use Avina In the future. read more

Avina never ceases to amaze me! They have serviced my primary house and rental properties with tree trimming and removal several times in the last 8 years. Christian and Fidel respond quickly for quotes and scheduling. My primary property is on a hillside with mesquite trees on the hill. These trees are difficult at best to trim due to their ridiculous thorns. The team performing this awkward job, are awesome. They know how to trim a tree so as to not cause harm to future growth or impact the health of the tree. The workers always seem to go the extra mile to ensure the job is done expertly, timely, and all debris is removed. They take care with surrounding structures and plant material to minimize risk of damage. The quotes are appropriate for the scope of work, the number of workers and the time commitment. Avina tree Service offers full value per dollar for exceptional service. I recommend them for all tree service needs. read more

I have a rental home in Riverside that has a big mulberry tree in the front yard. The leaves were falling and making a mess... I decided to trim the tree. I called several tree services and Avina was the best price! I spoke to Fidel and he was very professional and spoke both English and Spanish . I was reluctant of who was going to show up to my house because Fidel quoted me a great price. Nevertheless, his truck and equipment was totally acceptable and professional looking. His crew got to work and transformed my ugly tree to a beautiful tree! They clean up the area after the deed was done. Fidel's team were awesome I was very impressed with their work and I highly recommend Avina tree services. I'm posting a before and after pictures. read more

Although they advertise tree services they also advertise sprinkler repair. I primarily hired them to repair my sprinklers but secondarily asked them to trim a tree and clear some land. They did ok with the tree service but did a terrible job on the sprinklers. They tried to rush the project and I had to remind them to replace two broken ones they agreed to replace before they left. I specifically asked them to ensure adequate coverage and when they were done I had to replace about five sprinkler heads and one complete sprinkler because they weren't covering all of the lawn. Would not recommend them for sprinkler work. read more

Avina was very fast in providing an estimate for my job. Their prices are reasonable and competitive. They were very professional, clean and efficient. Unfortunately I was not able to take before and after photos but since they did my palm trees, multiple neighbors have gotten work done by them and I will continue to refer them to friends and family. I am certain you won't find anyone better. read more

Chris was amazing great guy to work with I would definitely recommend Avina tree service to anyone who needs their tree removed or trimmed.

After removing 5 trees, I found out that the sprinkler had been broken a few days later. I had asked Fidel to fix the sprinkler that had been broken after the tree removal. He had confirmed he would come on Monday to fix it, but he never showed. Even after several texts, phone calls, and a voicemail I still have not heard back from him. They have been unreliable and unwilling to communicate. It may be better to find a different service as this was extremely unprofessional. read more

Amazing services provided for the trees in our front and back yard. They took the time to make sure everything they did was to our liking and that we were fully satisfied. We have had their services four times now and each time they did an amazing job with their work. All of the employees were wearing masks to ensure safety for everybody which was an added bonus. Definitely don't hesitate to contact them for their services. You won't regret it! read more

Loved how hard they were working even during these difficult times they took all the proper safety measures needed during covid to get what I needed done.

Chris came to take a look the same day I asked for a quote on the phone and scheduled an appointment the same week, for a very reasonable price. On the day, these guys came and removed 3 big trees and a bunch of shrubs for us. They left no mess and cleaned up after themselves. The workers working on the trees all wore protective gear such as safety helmets and harnesses. The whole thing only took them the morning from 8 to 1. They also accommodated any request we had, such as cutting the tree stomps to the ground level and cutting them open for us to put root killer. Overall very pleased with their services. read more

Chris and his crew were wonderful!! Chris was very prompt in responding to our request for a quote on Saturday, and we were scheduled for our work promptly on Monday at 8 A.M.!! Chris got his crew started and they all did an awesome job!! Our tree was so overgrown, but the crew worked very hard as they tirelessly worked to make it look beautiful!! Chris was also very accommodating in trimming some ivy and taking out a dead camellia tree and two other shrubs. The crew cleaned up everything very nicely, and aside from seeing our beautifully trimmed tree, you would never know that they had just spent the whole day at our home!! We would DEFINITELY use Chris and his crew again!!!!! GREAT JOB!!!! read more

I obtained 3 quotes and 2 of them were unreasonable. I needed to Mexican fan palm trees removed and stomp grinding. I was told by 2 companies they couldn't do it because the trees were to close to my retainer walls. They did their quotes over the phone. Fidel from Avina came out, looked at the scope of the work and told me "no problem". Not only did he give me a price better than the other two he did some additional work for only a $100 more (he removed a tree from the backyard, and grinded all 4 stomps) It would have cost me $155 just to rent the stomp grinder for the day and I would have had to do the labor to remove the backyard tree. His price was so fair that my neighbor asked him to remove a Mexican fan palm since he was here and he did it for the same price. I highly recommend using Fidel and his company. His son Chris was just like his dad, very service focused. They showed up with a "crew" to work and get the job done. They brought all the equipment and were very efficient. After I approved the work, they showed the next morning at 8:30 and finished everything in about 2 1/2 hours. Hire Them! read more

I really wish I could give Avina tree service a zero. I called because I needed 1 of my trees trimmed and for the past 3 weeks they have told me they were coming to trim my tree 4 times, and never showed for the job. My guess is they did not show up because I had only 1 tree to trim. But I was also going to get estimates for my neighbors, one has 12 palm trees, another 5 palm tree's and the other has 2 palm trees. So, not only will Avina not get my service they missed out on getting 3 more clients. I found someone to come and trim my 1 tree. I also got estimates for my neighbors and the tree company trimmed my neighbors tree's too; the same day. Avina you missed out on $1000 just because you did not show up to trim my 1 tree. I suggest you show up for jobs you commit too; you lose money and your credibility when your word is no good. read more

Avina Tree Service was prompt with providing an estimate for the job. Their price was more than reasonable for the scope of the work. They were professional, efficient, and left our property clean with a curbside appeal. I wish I had taken a before and after picture. The neighbors came to see the high quality of work that they provided and even took pictures of the business card (I should have asked for extras). Beautiful work! Hire them- you won't regret it. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Fidel Avina and Avina Tree Service. Avina Tree Service was referred to me by a kind and fastidious neighbor who had highly recommended the company for their excellent service, best price, and bonded/licensed requirements. I decided to hire them after the glowing reviews and the best quote. They were able to cut down my ugly and dying pine tree and prune my camphor tree as well as persimmon tree on the same day that I received their more than fair quote. Fidel also noticed that my cypress trees required trimming and additionally did this at a very fair cost. I was extremely impressed by their professionalism and expeditious service. The crew of 4 men that included Fidel and his son, Christian, were so polite, friendly and amazing. They grounded down the root of my pine tree which not all companies would have done. They also agreed to clean up all the dead leaves and pine needles in my front yard. Furthermore, they took the time to blow away and clear out all the dead leaves from my camphor tree in the backyard. It looked like a brand new front and back yard! So utterly impressive! I can't help repeatedly recommending Avina Tree Service to friends, family, and colleagues. They deserve the work because they are the very best! read more

Chris responded right away to the Home Advisor service. His continuous communication throughout the project was top notch and very professional. We removed a big tree in our backyard and 2 trees that grew between 2 fences. Our neighbor removed 2 small trees and our other neighbor had them trim a palm tree. With the permission from the neighbors behind us, we were able to access the trees between the fences. When they were over there, they removed a palm tree, the neighbor, in front of them had the team trim 3 more palm trees. We are so glad we were able to give them the work. Merry Christmas to the Avina tree company. In regards to covid19, they were all masked at all times, a very caring comfort. read more

Chris and his crew are excellent! We used this company about 3 years ago, and like the first time, Chris was prompt to respond to our phone call and prompt to come over and check out our project. We had complete trust in Chris's suggestion on how to shape our front yard tree, and Chris had complete faith in his workers who actually did the job! He told us his guys are experts and know the best way to trim this young 2-year-old tree, and he was right! They did a beautiful job and we'll have them back yearly to maintain our trees' perfect shape! Their price was fair, their work was top-notch and they did a great job cleaning everything up when they were done! We couldn't have asked for anything more! Chris was really touched to know that his professional service 3 years ago was the reason we called him back again. In this day and age, Avina should be counting its blessings to have its company represented by Chris and his great crew!! read more

We had a very large tree that was damaging our sidewalks and moving ever so close to the foundation of the house.

They were very careful not to damage any surrounding landscape or hardscape and they cleaned up like you never even knew they were here!!! Very impressive !! We have had trees trimmed in the past and this crew is by FAR the best We have ever hired! We will be calling them back for ANY of my landscape needs !!! Thank you guys for restoring my front yard :-D read more
