They came and cut down all the trees and cleaned up the whole backyard. All within a day. A team of 7 guys came at 7am and left by 12 a full backyard overhaul!

To be honest I was pretty hesitant doing business with them. I gave them a chance to cut one of my large trees from the root. They not only do a great job but everything was professionally done. From the equipment they used, to the clothing they were wearing. On top of that, the red headed guy- don't recall his name, sorry- gave us a walk through of the completed job before they left. Everything was cleaned up. Recommend! Will use them again. Ty! -Jackie read more

Hiring Silva tree service was a pleasantly surprising experience. They answered the phone immediately when we called, came out within the hour to give a quote, lowered the quote to make it affordable, sent a crew the next morning and got the large job done early and quickly. They actually left the yard cleaner than they found it. The workers were all friendly and professional and didn't leave until they knew we were satisfied with the result. Cilvano even texted the next day to say thanks. I would definitely recommend them. read more

I would not trust this service to do any tree work. They are disreputable, unethical and do poor work and try to rip you off. On top of that they trespass on properties left and right putting their flyers out like spam, and even attach them so you can not easily dispose of them. Avoid! read more

Silva Tree Service was absolutely wonderful! Silvano brought in his expert crew and they trimmed four large trees on our property in a professional and highly skilled manner. Our trees were sculpted in a very pleasing, appealing, and satisfying way giving them a very aesthetic look. Silvano charged us a very fair price considering all the work done. Without hesitation, we would recommend them for your tree trimming needs! Andrew Noll read more

Their work is pristine. They are precise at what they do, very professional, on time, and most important listen to what you want done. They had multiple working men there +2 supervisors for most of the . They topped and laced very tall pine trees on a hill, cleaned up the hillside and also lifted a very heavy potted pine tree to be planted on the hill . His men are strong and they work very hard. They clean up after themselves . We definitely will use them again. The price of their work was very reasonable for all they did. I am very particular on how I want my trees cut because they provide shade. They listened to what my needs were and did an excellent job. You will not be sorry if you use SILVA TREE SERVICE. Thank you again Silver tree service.. read more

Very good service though it was rather a smaller job, I had to trim my neighbor's tree that was literally growing into my yard and into a pole connecting my house to the internet line. However, it has been done just the way I was expecting it to be done. And yes I've reached out to them as they dropped off their flyer, but I'm a little surprised with all the negative reviews. At first I was hesitant, but the owner answered my call right away and was at my house at the scheduled time to do the job. Price was also good, so no complaints. read more

Cancelled appointment at the time they were scheduled to arrive. Difficult to reach by phone. Mailbox is full. Knowledge of English is very limited. read more

We had a HUGE job, removing 60 year old Giant Birds of Paradise, a 60 year old palm tree and a forest of 50+ year old bamboo as well as trimming a mature olive tree. Silva Tree Service's crew is awesome! They are the hardest workers we have ever hired and work to please. We highly recommend Cilvano Avina and his professional crew! read more

Company replied to a text I followed up with. They left a new hose nozzle and refunded some of my money. Two very kind things that I'm grateful for. Day Three: company responded to my follow up text. They replaced the broken hose nozzle and refunded some of my money. Grateful for both. read more

Needed two very large, neglected oak trees trimmed, gave a very competitive price and had both trees trimmed in no time, cleaned up as if they had never been there. Very professional. Will definitely be using their services again and would highly recommend. read more

Called to have two trees trimmed and cut. Ciluano came out and gave me a very good price. The appoint. was made. Two guys came early the next day, got the work done in a few hours. They said the truck will be here in a couple of hrs, then they left to another job. The truck came and gathered all the branches, grinded them and cleaned the mess. Silva tree Service is very professional and do a great job. read more

High quality work, efficient and great price. The clean up process was terrific. We were very lucky that they finished trimming our palm trees and jacarandas just hours before the high winds hit our area. read more

Silva tree service was professional on time and worked with my budget for a great price clean up was great and work was top notch.

They send out door to door mailers. Their hired hand wedged their card into my front door and chipped the paint.

I contacted his service from a flier placed on my door. He really wanted the job, trimming a bunch of trees in my back yard, and kept lowering the price until I agreed. Surely he was assertive/insistent in the process. I gave a small down payment. Once I saw all the 1 star reviews I was really concerned. Then Silva and his team came the next day and did a very good job of trimming the trees. I had no complaints. He also did some work with my neighbor who was happy as well. I can imagine he's had some issues w others as he is a bit brash and there may be a language issue as well. My experience was positive and I'd have no qualms calling him back. read more

if there was a minus that I could put in, I would these people came to trim my neighbors tree. While doing so they cut out my lantana bush and refused to take responsibility for it.

Cilvano and his crew did a fantastic job removing 4 large trees and stump grinding them. Then he removed the stumps for over 25 other evergreen trees we ourselves had cut down and hauled away. Can't thank them enough. read more

We had 2 appointments set, he never showed up or called us.. it's all good we found someone cheaper.. bad thing is we had other projects to do after he was done and it's all been put on hold. Definitely not a man with integrity or a man of his word.. would never recommend him ever. read more

I was pretty apprehensive, given the mixed reviews here, but Cilvano was very patient, polite, and ready to work immediately. He gave a very competitive quote for cutting, grinding, and disposing of a large tree. We hired him again for some hedges and were pleased with the results. read more

Do not hire them! I repeat do not hire them! I happened to see them working on one of the streets in my neighborhood and I asked him to come give me a quote. it was around 130 in the afternoon. He came and I asked for two different job quotes. One was extremely high and one was not bad to average. I authorize the not bad to average job. The extremely high, I would go to another bidder. Once I authorized the less expensive job immediately they started. he had his guys jump off his truck and start clearing my hillside. The agreement was for the whole hillside. And trim some of the trees dead branches. And chop off a couple of the trees that were leaning over the house. He asked me several times to get the other job that he quoted me very high for. He kept dropping the price a couple hundred dollars each Time. But I remained firm because I already had a bid for 800 less! Finally he matched it and I agreed. He also immediately started this job after I authorized it. My father had come by to check out their work and also needed a tree clearing guy. He did not tell them he was my father but arrange to have them go to his house to give him a quote. For the first job i authorized, After clearing half the hill and chopping off to tops of the trees that were leaning over the house they stopped. I said The agreement was for the whole hill and he said oh no that's another days job more money. I argued for about 10 minutes to no avail. He wanted another thousand dollars. I was very upset and outraged! Finally I got him to come down to only 400 instead of $1000 more and I agreed stupidly but I wanted to get the job done because the fire department had already sent out letters for brush clearance. He said he would have to come back on Monday but I would have to pay him for the first two jobs today. Again I stupidly agreed never thinking he would not show up as per his word. After the day they went to my dads house and they tried to pull the same stunt. They agreed on a price and then once they were done they didn't do half of what they were supposed to do and they tried to get more money from my father as well. He refused but he still got what he needed done. Which is what I should have done but I figure they're taking advantage of a woman. Anyways come to days later of course they did not show up on Monday. I could have canceled the check or withdraw the funds but I didn't. I wanted to give him the chance to make it up. I texted him Monday Tuesday and Wednesday and never received a reply. Horrible horrible horrible. I repeat do not hire them! If I could I would not even give them one star! After spending thousands of dollars for them I may still yet have to hire another company to finish the top of the hill! read more

This company may seem to be a legitimate and reliable one because they have a website, but I can tell you they're not. I called this company to come out to my home for a simple small tree and root extraction. First off, they showed up 45 mins late to our initial estimate appointment. Off to a bad start. Their representative finally shows up, gives me the estimate and I decide to hire them based on the fair price. BIG MISTAKE. A crew shows up that same day and removes the tree and most of the roots. I had stepped away for a few hours to run some errands. Another BIG MISTAKE. When I return, the crew had what they thought, "completed the job" and left on their marry way. They managed to leave behind a TON of ground up wood chips over where the tree used to stand. After I cleaned up the mess they left behind, I uncovered a few large roots they didn't grind down. So I called the rep and asked them to come out again to grind down the roots that were still there. We agreed to meet a few days after I made that call. The day arrives when they're supposed to come out and finish what they started. NO CALL NO SHOW. I had to track this guy down and ask him where the hell they were and his response was " I forgot." Not what any self-respecting consumer who took time away from work wants to hear. He assured me they would be there at 10am the following day. ONCE AGAIN, they failed to show. Again, I call these guys, I get no answer. The business owner's wife calls me back and I explain to her that I had an appt at 10am. She tells me she would make a few calls and call me back. A few minutes goes by and she has the nerve to text me that they'd be there between 12 and 2pm. I reply to her text and tell her that I do not want her company to come back and finish the job and that I would finish what they started. This company does't understand the concept of being punctual and keeping an appointment. Save yourself a lot of stress and anguish by NOT USING THIS COMPANY. read more

this company was efficient as far as the work, because they got thousands of my dollars, but when I called them to return and repair sprinkler tear they quoted under $100, never came at appointed time, called again, no show on second and third try. Apparently they only work for big bucks, and repeat work or their reputation doesn't matter, avoid them and tell your friends don't use them read more

Have used these guys for years for some very tall palms and large trees whose limbs had to be roped down. Always did the job for the price quoted and in a timely manner. Always came back to finish more trimming if requested. Happy repeat customer. read more

Please be alert. I have recently hired them to install a brand new sprinkler system. I paid north of $3000. On the first time calling for estimate, they gave you good impression by coming on time. All of a sudden, once you hired them....well goes down hill from there. Each time you call the number...either the owner (cilvano) or the owner's wife (gloria) answer the phone...not real office setting. They are never on time. I had to cancel so many of my own personal obligations only to wait for these guys. And if you're not so lucky on some days, they just don't show up. Don't count on these landscaping people to come in the morning...their morning starts around 11 am (ironic for a landscape industry). They stated that they will finish in 5 days, but it took them more than 2 weeks ( in the mean time my grass was dying). I had other estimates from different companies, and all of them stated that I needed a lot of zones due to the size of my yards. They agreed to the amount of zones it requires for this project. However, once work was finished...I realized that there were half of the amount of zones installed. Basically, they short cut every way they can to save money. It doesn't matter if the system is working efficiently or not. At the end of the last day, they were rushing the work and tried to test run every single system. One of the sprinkler head blew up, but they asked if they can come back next day to fix it (by the way they didn't come until 6 days later). The funny thing was, they asked 95% of the money before leaving and asked me if i can give the remaining 5% when they come back later. Well, I didn't fall for that one. So I gave them 50%. After the had left on that day, I realized that they bypassed the water pressure regulator to connect all of the irrigation piping. So I called Cilvano, and told him that he will need to install the regulator when he comes back for the finishing. I had to explain that the system will not endure the pressure and will not last if regulator is not installed. He then said...no it's okay...it will work just fine. If you have any problem...just call me and I'll come back and fix. HHHMMM, my thought...once I give them the money...they will never come back...that's for sure. They had a hard time coming back to finish the project, can you imagine if they already had the money? So he said, if I still want to install the regulator, I have to pay extra...WHAATTTTT? I have no money to take them to court, but if I did I would. In retrospect I would pay more for more reputable company ... I learned the hard way. read more

This co is not realiable and they did not do the work we ask of them and agree to. The work was taking out Bambo and make sure that they remove all roots from the ground, they came and went and a week later I had bambo growing every were. I call them to tell them that I need it to have all the roots remove Cilvano said I will be there by saturday never came, I called again same story I will be there no problem I made 4 calls after that he never show up. Iresponsable and unrelaliable, I wont recomend them for anyhting. read more

I needed a tree cut down on a budget. The owner was late to the estimate appointment. He quoted me a price but after some negotiating he got it down to a reasonable amount and agreed to accept a split payment on post dated checks. Little did I know he would cash both checks the next day, not on the dates written on the check and has put my family's budget in a world of hurt the last month. We cut down the tree because it was next to the house and we are getting solar panels. We will be back in the black in another month but this guy is definitely not trustworthy. read more

Well I probably should have read all the Yelp reviews first. They gave me a reasonable quote on pruning a Jacaranda tree. I hired them, we set an appointment for the next week. They never showed up. I called them asking what the status was of the appointment. He sounded flustered over the phone and said "the crew was not there yet?" He said he would send them right away but now the new appointment was for later in the day. They never showed up to the later appointment but I did get a call after saying they wanted to reschedule for the next day. I declined and am going with a different company. read more

They were here yesterday to remove a huge red wood pine at the back yard of my house and I was impressed by their hard work, they know what they are doing, you can see their professionalism and expertise because it is a dangerous job to climb that big tree. They were right on time. I will give this company five stars: 1. Punctuality 2. Professionalism. 3. Cleanliness. (they even clean the street after they finished) 4. Equipment (state of the art machines) and 5 .Reasonable price. Connie Essis read more

I hired this company to grind out a tree stump. They left behind a 12" tall mound of ground wood chips. When i finally cleared away the chips and began to level my yard, i found the ENTIRE tree stump buried under a 1/4" veneer of dirt. I called the rep out who showed up at the end of the day. He took a look and said he would send a crew Tuesday. I asked about my nearby sprinkler and electric lines, he said he'd replace anything that got damaged. OK. Well, he didn't give me a time for the Tuesday appointment, and when the day came, no one showed. I called them several times, when i finally got someone, he said the crews were busy and someone would come first thing the next day. The next day, the crew shows up to "finish" the job. It was one guy who barely spoke english. He drives the grinder into my backyard, no job walk, not a word to me about anything. I say watch out for my sprinkler and electric lines. Less than one minute into the job, PVC, wires and water everywhere! I shut off the supply line and have him finish grinding the stump. He then goes to work fixing the water lines. Important detail: 2 water lines and one electric line were shredded. So he gets to work, doesn't trace the lines out and i end up with the water lines plumbed wrong. He mumbles something someone else doing electrical and scurries away. Now i can't turn on the supply to my back yard without one solitary sprinkler coming on, my electric line is still shredded, and i have a gaping hole in the middle of my back yard. Several attempts to reach the rep by phone have failed. Twice they promised to come out and twice they have lied. Now they are dodging me altogether. My next step is to take them to court. read more

This company was excellent cleaned 3 palm trees and cleaned up nice and prompt, I would recommend this company service and will continue to use them when I need them, Very reasonable pricing. Anthony Salinas. read more

Horrible and unreliable. Appointment schedules for 830 am. No show no phone call. I called three times with no response. When I finally talked to Silva he said he would be there in 2 hours which past 24 hours ago..In addition he tries to request payment before the job was complete or even begun. I would not use this company to pull weed out of my yard. I wish there was a rating lower than one star. read more

This company is absolutely wonderful!! They were the least expensive quote I received but they provided 5-star professional and courteous service. They worked efficiently to remove 14 trees on our property & trimmed 2 enormous palm trees we have. They cleaned up after themselves, didn't damage anything, and completely removed all the tree stumps. I highly recommend them if you need any tree removal or trimming. They also provide other landscaping services. read more

I called this company on 2 separate occasions for landscape work. The 1st time they arrived 30 minutes late but got the job done properly and in time. The second time they did not show up. I called their 2 phone #'s and got voice mails on both. And I never got a call back. As far as I'm concerned, the second experience negates the first and they will never hear from me again. And, in good conscience, I cannot recommend them. read more

Unreliable and absolutely horrible! Forget about them keeping appointments, and don't pay in advance--they take your money and run leaving a big mess in your yard. I should have read the Yelp reviews. I wish there were negative stars to "award". read more

OMG - Old Tree Service seems to be another name this company goes by and they do NOT list either a website OR an address (or name of the business owner) on their business card. However, the phone number matches this business (Silva Tree Service) which makes me think that they might be trying to escapes these less than stellar reviews. My experience came initially because my neighbors were trimming the trees along the property line and it became obvious the 1st tree-trimmer had bit of more than he could chew. Since my driveway parallels the fence line (and neighbor has several horses on the other side of the fence), it would be easier and safer to remove the trimmings from my side of the fence. They proceeded to remove the debris from my side of the fence but in the process, left approximately half of it behind, knocked over a fence during the process (thereby allowing chickens to escape), knocked over and broke pottery standing 6 feet away from the property line along with leaving my property covered in debris. Before they were done (and obviously before I saw what a mess I would be dealing with later), they asked if there was anything they could do for me for a 'really good price' before they left: I had 3 projects (that ended up being quoted as 2 projects/prices: (1) remove a collapsed wooden shed 10 x 10 foot for $150 and (2) trim fig tree so that I would be able to reach the fruit without having to use a ladder/stepstool ($175) and grind out a different fig tree stump ($150) for a total of $325. I wrote two checks. Checks were written to Silvana Avina. The tree was barely trimmed (it was NOT cut to the point I would not need a stepladder to reach the fruit) and the stump was a little bit better but later sprouted branches - OBVIOUSLY not removed nor killed. The shed however, which consisted of 4 walls, a roof and a floor (which was only the gridwork of 2x4's lifting the floor from the ground. Very little was removed - what was left for me to deal with (& was NOT removed) was 1 full wall, 1/2 of another wall, the entire floor support (made up of 2x4 nailed together) were left behind - more than 50% left.. We had purposely 'saved' the large pieces of plywood from the floor for another project and so they removed less than 1/2 of what they were contracted to do. The neighbors contacted them regarding the amount of debris left behind - they were told that since they got such a good price, the debris on the other side of the fence was not part of the deal. I said something to them that there was still a large mess left behind and there was no response. I called and spoke to some one two days later and - he promised to come by the next AM (= Thursday). He never showed nor did he call and I called again on Friday (then whole ordeal began on Tuesday) and left a message at 2pm and 3pm finally giving them my phone number at work - if there was no answer by that Midnight I would take action (namely stop payment on the smaller check). I checked my voice mail as well well after 2am and there were no messages. Two weeks later they called me at home and were upset that one check bounced (because I had told them I would stop payment if there was no reponse to my many calls. I had explained on the Friday I called that I would NEED to be contacted by midnight on Friday or I will stop payment on the smaller check- and they did not call. They threatened to come over the next day and i told them to never come back or call again. Luckily I have a 6 foot fence and lots of dogs. No, I would never recommend them to a friend or enemy. read more
