Beech Tree Pruning

Craig came by to give us a quote and walked me through what was required and recommended. He laid out two options and promised he would meet my timeline (as I had just received an order from the city). Craig came by when the job was done and wrote up a report that I could submit to the city. His crew came when he said they would and did an excellent job. Everything that we had talked about was done as they had promised. As a bonus, my son got a real kick out of watching his crew climb through the trees and lower the branches down to the ground by rope (or just plain gravity). I felt bad, as they were there longer than was expected.

They cleaned up my yard and even provided me with firewood for my fireplace.

Tree Cut

I found Craig on the yellowpages website. When I spoke with him, he was very friendly and said he would come by to quote. He did so in the next couple of days and this past Saturday the tree was down.

It was great because the City has ordered it down, so it was great that Craig and his team were available to take it down with such a tight turnaround.

tree removal

In the middle of February, we noticed that our linden tree in the backyard started to split. We noticed growing cracks on the lower trunk. We called several tree service companies, but 2-3 never responded (including one that has high ranking here on Home Stars), may be they do not provide services in Winter. However, we managed to collect a few quotes. One of the big companies told us they may damage our playground in backyard or our deck, but Craig said that he does all work safely and carefully. Craig from CB Tree and another well known company quoted same price, but Craig was ready to start in 2 days (on Saturday!), while another company could start only in 3 weeks. Since our linden tree was leaning towards the house and it was too hazardous to wait, we decided to hire CB Tree. In addition, Craig provided to us a few options like whether we would like to keep wood for our fireplace, then price will be lower, or if we want all chunks of wood to be removed, then price will be higher since complete clean up requires more time and more work. We liked this flexibility and his readiness to negotiate a reasonable contract. I asked Craig for a copy of his insurance, and he showed me the document without hesitation. On Saturday, Craig and Ray secured our linden tree and carefully dismantled it. They removed all top branches and cleaned the backyard well. Since we decided to keep logs for our fireplace, they cut them carefully and put them in a heap. Now we have a lot of firewood for our fireplace. Also, Craig wrote a detailed arborist's report without any extra charge. All work was done safely and exceeded all our expectations. Next day, when we collected logs, we kicked one of the large cuts from the lower trunk, and were surprised to see that it split into 2 halves on the ground. It was obvious that if the tree would not be removed, it could damage our house. A few days later there was a strong storm, but fortunately for us, the tree has been already removed. Thanks a lot to Craig and Ray and for their hard work and taking care of this emergency on Saturday! We have already recommended CB Tree to our friends and neighbors.

Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Go with CB Tree without hesitations. You might need to call in advance in summer: CB Tree is a small company and they get very busy! But if you can wait, remember that prices are lower in Winter.

tree services

We needed some dead branches to be cut back from some very tall trees and he quoted me a price that was 40% lower than the two other quote i got from other companies. In addition he suggested cutting back some other trees and included it in the same package and mind you with such pleasantness. IT WAS SIMPLY UNBELIEVABLE AND I WOULD NOT HESITATE RECOMMENDING HIM TO ANYONE ELSE!!

HI JUDY. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE KIND REVIEW. I NEVER GOT TO TELL YOU BEFORE I LEFT, THAT WHEN I WAS FINISHING UP IN ONE OF THE TALL ELMS AT THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY, APPROXIMATELY 80 FEET UP IN THE AIR, A LARGE GOLDEN EAGLE LANDED ON A BRANCH ABOUT 15 FEET AWAY FROM ME. WE STARED AT EACH OTHER FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN HE BEGAN TO CROUCH DOWN AND LEAN TOWARD ME LIKE HE WAS GETTING READY TO LEAP OFF THE BRANCH AND ATTACK. I GOT A LITTLE SCARED SO BRANDISHING MY HANDSAW I BEGAN SHOUTING AND FLAILING MY ARMS ABOUT, LIKE A LUNATIC,TRYING TO WARD OFF THIS POTENTIAL ATTACK. THE EAGLE, WHO WAS HUGE, LOOKED CONFUSED, THEN STOOD UPRIGHT AGAIN,TURNED AND SLOWLY FLEW OFF IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. HE WAS MAGNIFICENT. HE HAD A WINGSPAN OF ABOUT 6 FEET AND IT WAS A REAL PLEASURE (AND A RELIEF) TO WATCH HIM FLY OFF. I'LL NEVER FORGET IT. THE WHOLE INCIDENT WOULD HAVE GONE UNNOTICED, BUT MY ARBORIST WHO WAS JUST ENTERING THE BACKYARD HEARD ME SHOUTING AND LOOKED UP IN TIME TO SEE THE EAGLE TAKE OFF. SO THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR TALL ELM TREES, WE WERE ABLE TO WITNESS SOMETHING THAT WAS EXTREMELY COOL. SO THANK YOU FOR THE WINTER WORK, AND ALLOWING US TO DO YOUR TREES.
ALL THE BEST , CRAIG.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE REVIEW AND FOR THE KIND WORDS. THE TREE IS MUCH SAFER NOW. THE THINNING OF THE CANOPY WILL LIGHTEN THE WEIGHT LOAD ON THE BRANCHES AND YOU WILL ENJOY MUCH MORE SUNLIGHT TO THE BACK YARD AS A RESULT. YOU SHOULD BE MAINTENANCE FREE FOR 3-5 YEARS, BUT SINCE MANITOBA MAPLE ARE SUCH HARDY GROWING TREES YOU'LL WANT TO REVISIT TRIMMING IT AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. WE'LL BE READY WHEN YOU ARE, UNTIL THEN ALL THE BEST, CRAIG.

Tree Trimming

Craig did the job for the amount he said he would do it(well below all of the other quotes we had), in the time he said he would do it, and cleaned up perfectly after himself. The cleaning up part was really nice, as some contractors aren't very good at that. He had great respect for our property, as we had another tree service a few years ago who damaged our garden. The tree was a 60' Silver Maple, and Craig had a good vision for how the tree should be shaped.

I'M GLAD WE HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO MEET YOU THAT DAY AND EVENTUALLY LOOK AFTER THIS WORK FOR YOU. ANY TIME WE CAN SOLVE A TREE PROBLEM WITHOUT REMOVING THE TREE, IS A GOOD THING. I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO REVIEW US AS WELL AS THE TIM HORTON'S YOU SURPRISED US WITH WHEN WE WERE WORKING. THE TREE SHOULD BE TROUBLE FREE FOR A LONG TIME NOW, BUT IF NOT, WE'RE ON THE OTHER END OF THE PHONE. UNTIL THEN, ALL THE BEST CRAIG.

tree trim

I needed our overgrown maple trimmed. CB's quote was very reasonable but that was just the start. They showed up on time, with 4 employees, lots of equipment and trimmed the tree beautifully. The service was prompt because they are so professional and the cleanup spotless. I got great value. Will enjoy racking fewer leaves next year.
