    Tree Stumps Outta Here!

    I submitted a quote request for CB Tree Service, and within 1 hour I received a call back. Craig and his son came to remove some tree stumps in my back yard, not only are they fast and efficient - they are highly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do! Craig had to remove the side gate to get his stump remover in, re-installed it, and cleaned up the yard beautifully. We got talking about a large maple tree I have in my backyard, I will absolutely be having him back to clean it up and ensure it is maintained and healthy. Great service, friendly, knowledgeable, and fast - I highly recommend his service to anyone!

    Answer from pro:

    James, thank you so much for the kind words. We happened to be travelling with one of the stumpers that day and it worked out well all around. When the leaves fully uncurl on your Maple tree then any time after that is an excellent time to distinguish the live growth from what limbs may have died off over winter. We'll clean out the deadwood, aerate the inner crown and get the tree off to a good growing season. I appreciate you taking the time to review us. Please consider yourself a preferred customer and know any one you send our way will be treated well also. All the best, Craig.

    Backyard Maple Tree

    Craig and his team did an excellent job taking down the maple tree in my backyard. Craig was efficient, on time, friendly and got the job done in a timely manner. I would gladly recommend Craig's team to anyone looking to have a tree removed from their backyard. Craig and his team are professionals that I trust.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you very much for the review Sean. I'm glad you're happy with the results. Sometimes good trees have to go for any number of reasons. Replanting helps make the sting go away. We're committed to helping homeowners solve tree issues from planting to removal. Thank you for letting us help you with your project. All the best, Craig.

    Worrisome leaning tree

    There was a tall tree leaning over our neighbour's backyard that constantly caused us worry under very windy conditions (which is more often now that in past years). After checking Homestars and contacting Craig, he visited us and provided a quote. We had a good feeling from our conversation with a congenial Craig. Nevertheless, we did the due diligence with the insurance information that he readily provided and also checked his quote against other tree services. Craig's quote was very competitive. He and his crew of 3 skillfully completed the job to our requirements in about an hour and we are very satisfied (and relieved). We would certainly recommend CB Tree to our friends and family.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for telling your story Ken. That Manitoba Maple tree is considered a softwood and as such, is usually more prone to toppling and breakage than their hardwood counterparts. They are rapidly growing what we call "weed trees" that offer abundant foliage in a short time but sometimes overgrow their ability to support their own weight, unless periodically pruned to reduce overburdened limbs. Your tree had all of that and a menacing lean over your neighbour's yard. You were wise to be proactive before an accident or injury occurred. Thank you for choosing us to help you with your project. All the best, Craig.

    Efficient and clean! Great experience with CB tree

    We just bought our home and our backyard is a jungle. I don’t think the previous owners removed any trees while they were here. The backyard, while massive, was completely unusable. We asked for 3 quotes from different tree cutting companies and got quoted everything from $900 all the way to $3K. We called Craig and he texted with my husband providing an accurate time of arrival to our place. He and his team did such a thorough job of cutting the trees, and then aligning the logs in our front yard — we can’t thank him enough. While he was here, even our neighbors got some work done, which shows the value of his work. We won’t hesitate to call them again across our properties in GTA.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you very much for the work and for taking the time to tell your story. I appreciate the kind review. The yard looks much bigger now with those overgrown weed trees removed and now you have a clear line for the new fence. I'm glad we could help. you with your project, the remaining trees will start to grow much more symmetrically now with the improved sunlight with the other trees gone. Good luck with the rest of your project. All the best, Craig.

    Branch Removal

    Craig came by and helped cut down a branch that was leaning against some cables in my backyard and also spotted a branch that was broken and at risk of falling and damaging my neighbour's garage. He was knowledgeable and generous with his advice about the legalities of trees on property lines when dealing with neighbours. He spent more time than he quoted but didn't charge me for any extra time. He wasn't the cheapest quote I received but he was able to schedule me in the very next day and was very easy to work with.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for the work and taking the time to review the work. I'm glad we could help. You should be good for a while. We're at the other end of the phone when you need us back. Take care, stay safe. All the best, Craig.

    Tree removal

    We needed to remove our honey locust from our backyard. We had hired Craig for another tree project last year, and we were so pleased with his work that we decided to call him again. Once again he did not disappoint us! He and his assistant completed the job in a few hours and left the backyard looking extremely neat and tidy. Craig is an excellent arborist and a very nice guy also. We recommend him highly.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you Reva. Now that the tree has been removed, you can go ahead with the construction plans for your new parking pad. I'm glad we were able to help you with your project. Thanks very much for the work and the kind review. All the best, Craig.

    Arborist Service

    Professionals from hello!!! Craig and his crew provided a competitive quote. They showed up on time which pleased me. The workmanship went that I was very happy beyond my expectations. My 2 massive maple trees already looks healthier, I can't wait for summer to see the true beauty of the work. I highly recommend this company with no reservations. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!

    Answer from pro:

    Hey Marilyn, Thanks so much for the work and the kind words. I had a blast pruning those two large maples. The canopy has been thinned from within, removing deadwood and redundant growth which will increase the airflow through the trees, allowing improved wind resistance and much better sunlight penetration to the back garden. By retaining the natural form of these Maple trees, you won't encourage an abundance of unwanted sucker growth you would encounter if large limbs were cropped back or topped to random lengths. The trees will do very well this year, as the root system now has an abundance of energy to distribute to a thinner, streamlined canopy. I'm happy that you're passionate about the care of these large beauties. They add a lot of value to the property, they look magnificent, they are well maintained and should give you many years of enjoyment. Thank you for placing your confidence in us. Please consider yourself one of our preferred customers. Any one you send our way will be treated well also. All the best, Craig.

    Exterior Cleanup

    Craig was very quick to respond to my inquiry about my exterior tree/overgrowth issue with my new home. He came the same day to review the scope of work and was available to do the work the following week as I preferred. Craig and his staff were very efficient and reasonably priced. I will use him again in the Spring to tackle my backyard.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Henry, glad to help. Thank you for the referral to your father as well. He is in good hands. I appreciate the work, the review and the referral. We're grateful for it all. We look forward to the spring to reciprocate our gratitude. Take care, all the best, Craig.

    Tree Felling

    We had a 21” diameter, 50-year-old Norway maple tree that was dying and overhanging our house. Last summer, we accepted a quote from another tree care company to have it removed. Weeks later, we were told the job would be carried out in October, then it became December, then it became February. Had it not been for our finding CB Tree via Homestars, we would still be waiting! CB Tree promptly provided a fair quote and proceeded with the work in spite of frigid weather. The work was executed skillfully and flawlessly. We also appreciate that they took the time to make sure that they cleaned up thoroughly. What a pleasure it was to work with an owner/operator rather than some salesperson or franchisee! Craig is a real gentleman who is trustworthy and reliable. We hope to work with him again once spring arrives and tree preservative measures will be needed.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you very much for the winter job and the kind review of our work. That tree had a nasty lean towards the house and with half of the root system mined out by the ant colony at the base, it was likely to fall over at some point. The added weight of winter ice and snow may have been enough to eventually cause the tree to topple. You were wise not to wait any longer. I'm glad the job went well and pleased you're happy with our service. Please know that we look forward to helping you again in the future and that anyone you send our way will be treated well. All the best to you. Sincerely, Craig.

    Tree removal

    When you find a great contractor.......don’t forget his name and number. This is the third time we’ve hired Craig and his crew over the past few years ( since the ice storm).Each time he was on time and on budget He addressed our concerns and done within the hour . And it was done this morning.......during the snow storm today!

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks a lot Russ. I'm glad we got that leaning tree down before something happened. It was listing toward the house at a bad angle that might have been persuaded to fall with a hard gust of wind or a coating of ice. You were wise to preempt the hazard. I appreciate the review of our work. Take care, all the best, Craig
