    Removal of grape vines

    We recently asked Craig to remove a number of grape vines that were growing rampantly in our backyard (they had started growing around power lines). Craig removed all of the vines and did a great job cleaning up. He stuck to his quote, even though it took him longer than anticipated. We intend to continue using Craig for our tree-related needs.

    Tree pruning my sacred apple tree

    I have nothing but good things to say about this company. They care about the trees they're pruning and that means lot to me. My 75 year old apple tree in my backyard on Olive is sacred and they did a great job. These professionals "know" about the biology of trees, a free extra benefit. They're my go-to company now.

    Thank you very much for the kind words. We treat every tree like it's our own. It makes for great results and earns us a lot of referrals and repeat business. Welcome to our growing list of preferred customers! All the best, Craig.

    Pruning 3 large maples

    There are a few good reasons why Craig Talenko and the crew at CB Tree are so busy – excellent work ethic and results, and good pricing. Craig and his team just completed an impressive job of pruning 3 large maple trees in my back yard. The largest, a silver maple, grows disturbingly close to the house and looms over both our own roof and our neighbour’s. The limbs of this tree were left badly bowed by the ice storm in Dec 2013. On windy days, these limbs would contact both roofs, leaving debris and knocking against the neighbour’s chimney. The combined canopy of the 3 trees was also affecting the overall health of the lawn and garden. Craig discussed with us what we would like done and made recommendations that would ensure the continued health of these trees while minimizing the threat of large branches breaking off. He is very friendly and easy to talk to. Once we agreed on everything, the crew immediately set to work. It was a marvel to watch how professionally they managed the process of removing the largest of limbs dangling over the roof. Not for the faint of heart to watch, but not a shingle was damaged. They also cut the wood into fire logs, which they stacked neatly for us to use. After the last branch was chipped, the crew meticulously cleaned up the yard and driveway too. Our 3 maples look trim and solid now, with lots of space for the wind to pass through without threat, and the yard feels much bigger now with the enhanced exposure to the sky and sun. I really can’t wait for spring now to see everything come into leaf.

    It was a pleasure doing your job and returning to my neighbourhood on the street where I first started my business back in 1973. I can't believe I've been in business for 43 years now, it seems like only yesterday when we were passing out flyers on this street, hoping the phone would ring. Thank you for the work and the memories. Your trees look great and we really appreciate the winter work. I was getting tired of eating just gravy and bread. (Just kidding) All the best, see you next time, Craig.

    Excellent service

    Craig and his team did a great job of dealing with the top half of a fallen spruce tree that was suspended between utility wires and a neighbour's tree. It didn't look like an easy job to me, but Craig was meticulous in his planning and the execution, with various ropes in place, was perfect. No utility wires or other trees were damaged as the spruce came down. Craig is great to deal with. He's very knowledgeable and was happy to answer questions about the other trees in the yard and how best to take care of them. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend CB to anyone who is looking for friendly, professional service at a reasonable price.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks again for awarding us your work. The broken and storm damaged trees are always a challenge and doing these jobs keeps us on our toes. We get to use some of our specialized equipment reserved for these types of jobs and the men get to hone their skills. It's all good. We look forward to returning this summer to remove the dead tree in the corner of the back yard, whenever you're ready. Until then, all the best, Craig.

    Excellent work to remove the tree and stump

    Craig and his team provided great quality work to remove the tree trunk and stump. The clean work was good too. No mess left at the yard and no complains from the neighbour as the tree was hanging over to neighbor's backyard. The price was very reasonable and Craig's arborist repoert helped me to get the permit quickly from the city. If you want to compare with other vendors, ask for several quotas first and then go to Craig before making your final decision. Craig is a busy man and doing so both of you can optimize the time.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for the work and writing a review of our work. We've worked for other people near you as a result of your review and we're grateful for the kind words. You or anyone you send us can expect to be treated well. All the best, Craig.

    Tree Removal

    Upon finding a water leak in the basement, we needed to have an outside tree removed as soon as possible, in order to have water proofing repaired. Not only did Craig understand the importance by arriving to our home the same day to assess the situation, he also got the job done within a few days. Craig was wonderful to deal with, very professional and truly reasonable with the cost. I would absolutely recommend CB Tree Service

    Answer from pro:

    I hope everything went well with waterproofing the house once the tree and stump were removed. Thank you for choosing us to do the work. All the best, Craig.

    Tree Removal

    I called a few tree removal people, and Craig responded first and in person. He quoted a low price and was able to start quickly before all the leaves came down. In spite of a few setbacks with weather and a family emergency, Craig and his crew provided excellent work without any complaints. He was thorough and very careful in his work, and very good natured. I am looking forward to using his service again in the future, and will recommend him to my friends. Thanks, Craig.

    Answer from pro:

    We're always glad to help and truly appreciate the work. We'll look forward to returning one day and thank you for referring us to your friends. Until then, all the best, Craig.

    Fall tree trimming of overgrown apple tree

    Craig and his team called prior to arrival and arrived on time. Work was exactly as I had requested and the clean up was exceptional given the apples that were falling during the work! I also requested Craig and his team to return in the winter to do further trimming of the apple tree and do additional trimming and cutting of other trees on the property. He is a busy guy so book early for any work you want done!!

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks Margaret for both the work and the time to review us. I don't think I've ever seen a tree with so many apples, boy did it ever need a trimming. I'm glad we could help. We look forward to returning this winter whenever you're ready. All the best, Craig.
