CB Tree Service

I couldn't be more satisfied with Craig and his crew. The consultation was clear and useful, the work was excellent, the clean-up was super, and the price extremely reasonable. On a personal level, Craig and his employees were courteous, honest, and hard-working. We had a very large, long limb of a neighbour's tree hanging vertically over our back yard. Over the past year, we've watched more and more of its branches stripped of bark, and old dead bits of wood falling off during storms. Some branches were actually hanging quite precariously and we decided enough was enough. We contacted Craig and he suggested removing the limb altogether. After the work was complete, he stuck to the quote he'd provided us, even though more work was required than he'd anticipated. I will be highly recommending his services to friends and relatives.

Once again Craig and his CB tree service has done an excellent job of removing a hazard portion of a soft maple overhanging our house and our neighbours. His crew trimming back the same tree, removed another chinese elm beside our house and trimmed an additional chinese elm which was too big to cut down without a permit. Craig was speedy, knowledgeable and professional. His crew did a great job of clean up too.

We have a very shady back yard with quite a bit of tree cover. A Japanese Maple that was planted there was slowly dying. Upon consultation with a horticulturist it was suggested we try and prune the surrounding trees to give the maple room to "breathe". Out of all the quotes I requested Craig, with CB Tree Service, was the only one to offer service beyond the pruning of the trees I originally requested. He not only pruned my trees but removed some offending branches from neighbouring yards (especially those among the power lines) to really open up the space and allow quite a bit more sunlight into the area. He then suggested that next spring I try a liquid fertilizer as well as spikes to try and bring the maple back to life.

The work was done expediently and the area left clean and tidy.

Overall a great experience. Thanks Craig!

I have mixed feelings about this CB Tree Service.

Overall: if you need emergency service, these guys will be likely be the first on site. But just expect that you will have to monitor they all the time.

Project: massive tree (12 meters high, around 80 years old) felt down. Tree felt on Monday evening, they started job on Wednesday afternoon, finished on Friday evening.

The good: they did an emergency service on a pretty complex project.

The bad: all sorts of things
1) They did not explain that they would leave the wood of the trunk behind or that they would be big pieces. I did ask about the removal of it, but that was extra. What I was left with was around 3-4 tones of logs; some of these were 100-120 kg so even moving them was not an option. I had to rent the chainsaw next day to just cut all of the big pieces. Plus the removal of that was also quite expensive.
2) They broke bunch of patio stones when they thrown the wood on them. Eventually they realized that and moved the patio stones away. When I asked them if they will put it back, there was a confrontation. Eventually they did placed them back but very sloppy.
3) The guy was constantly asking for money order. I did not like that. His argument was that he had to pay the workers at the end of the week and need the money now. Well, there is something wrong with this company if they need money orders and have no cash in the bank.
4) On the second day they just left the job site in the middle of the day. They did secure the tree so it won't fall or anything. Why: according to them, it was too hot. I am sure they went on another job site but that was not really satisfying when I came back on Thursday evening and so not a big progress.

We needed to have a tree cut down in our yard so I went to Homestars looking for a couple of tree service providers that were highly recommended by customers. I contacted a couple of companies and found they were not reliable. CB Tree Service clearly stood out. The many comments about CB really reinforce a professional, friendly, responsive, reliable, and quality service organization provided by Craig and his very competent team. The quote for the job was reasonable and the job was completed according to schedule. Not only was the tree cut down, the wood was cut up, neatly piled and the clean-up job was perfect. I really do believe CB Tree Service should be held as a model of a quality service organization. Excellent job!

The service was first rate - called on Tuesday for a quote on removing a cracked brach on my locust tree that was hanging over the pool. They came out the same day and said they could do the job the next day. The limb was removed AND the tree was trimmed. The crew was pleasant, did an amazing clean up job, cut up the wood for firewood and my pool was still clean. Will definitely call them again. By the way called around a few other places and it would of been a week before I could even get a quote!

Craig and his team were amazing. Responsive to the first call, gave a clear estimate, delivered impeccable service on time and on budget. Our property has never looked so great.

Called Craig on a Sunday morning and he was able to show up within 2 hours. Craig came by to secure a tree limb that was at risk of falling and causing further damage to our neighbours' properties.

He is extremely patient, knowledgeable and perhaps most importantly willing to educate you about his business - which is trees of course. Craig took the time to explain to us the condition of our tree, future maintenance to consider and eased our concerns.

Thanks again Craig for making it out on a Sunday.

I called many companies to assist me with this broken tree and decided on using CB after meeting Craig. I spoke to Bill initially and he was very helpful and sounded sincere. He assured me that someone would be out on the same day to see the tree. Craig showed up in the afternoon and provided me with a very reasonable quote and timeline to have the tree removed. The tree was removed with 48 hours by Craig and his team. The 3 guys were very efficient and tidy, even the sidewalk and the street were cleaned up before they left. While Craig was on site I asked him to remove 2 small fruit trees that were dying plus remove 3 branched from another tree that was hanging too low to the ground. He happily assisted with the additional request. I offered to pay him more than what he quoted to cover the cost of the additional work but he refused. I am very happy with the level of service I received from Craig and his team and would highly recommend them to my close friends and family. You should not hesitate to call CB if you need assistance with any tree related services. Thank you Craig!!!!

One of my trees had a huge broken branch and as my neighbor said "it will take out your kitchen". I was very concerned so I started calling tree services. Tried 4 companies-some did not even return my call and the rest said they could not come until Sept or October. I called Craig at CB Services_ He came the same day and stated it was an emergency. So the following day he and his crew fixed the problem. Thank god for Craig and his fast response. He and the team were very professional and super polite. I like them all. Again Craig thank you so much!!!!
