Grateful Neighbour Saved From Imminent Disaster
You have found Craig, consider yourself VERY lucky. Like a good mechanic or barber, once you find one ... NEVER let him go.
Here is the story ...
As a result of the storm recently with high winds on a Friday, a neighbouring 80+ ft Black Walnut incurred serious damage. By Sunday, serious splitting of the trunk made it dangerously close
to falling on our house. No resources were available until Monday and Craig answered the call.
Due to location of the tree, specialized equipment was required and all attempts (private and public) to secure it proved futile. Craig did not give up. He dug deep in his years of experience and despite not wanting to climb the unpredictable tree, he did, as everyone knew that time was of the essence.
Single handedly (with ground assistance from Tom and Steve) he secured (by strapping) the parting limbs about 40 ft up and then
proceeded to cut branches that would have caused serious damage. A heroic effort indeed. All breathed a sigh of relief.
Not out of the woods just yet, next steps are to mummify the base up to the split, cut the upper limbs down to the strapping, and then finish the job in an orderly fashion.
So if you have an emergency situation (or not) with a tree, and want someone who is methodical, skilled, efficient and won't create any collateral damage along the way, don't call the town operations dept, or the fire department or even your insurance agency first to get help to proactively prevent a disaster, call Craig (CB Tree Experts). You won't be disappointed.
Thanks also to my neighbour who cared about our safety and took the necessary action.

That was quite a tree and quite a situation. I'm glad everything went so well. Awfully nice of you to tell the story and post the pictures, very grateful! Please be assured you or anyone you send us will get the best we can offer.
All the best, Craig.
