Silva Tree Service

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!

Well I probably should have read all the Unilocal 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.

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.

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

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.

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.
