I'm totally satisfied with the work that Craig and his crew did for us and would highly recommend him to everyone out there. Not only did they do a great job - they were the lowest bid, and saved us a lot of money. We had a large willow whose major branch came down during a thunderstorm. Actually it was still attached to the tree and was leaning over our telephone wires. The city bylaw officer declared it a hazard and ordered us to cut the whole tree down immediately. When Craig looked at it, he told us the tree could be saved, and he was willing to challenge the city arborist's ruling on it. However, the tree's trunk straddled my neighbour's property and we had agreed to share the cost. The neighbour wanted it down, so we ended up bringing it all down. It was a difficult job to do, but these guys did it well. On top of that there was another dead limb on my neighbour's tree that the bylaw officer wanted removed, and Craig and his crew came back the next day to cut that one as well for no extra charge. Plus he dropped off and raked out some of the mulch onto our property as we had requested. I can't believe what a bargain we got, and what great service! So if you're ever in a similar situation with the city and you want to save your tree, Craig is the guy to call. Or if you have any other type of work you need done with a tree, CB Tree is a great company to work with and at the same time you'll likely get the most reasonable rate available.

Dear Erik,
Thank you so much for the kind words.It was unfortunate that the tree broke in so many places, but this is a common occurrence with storm damage, especially with willow trees. With this species, the tree grows very vigorously and often outgrows it's capacity to support it's own weight. The wood is very brittle in nature and couple that with the additional weight of rainfall and a strong wind to contend with, it's not uncommon for major limbs to fail during a storm. Although you lost one of the trees, at least there was no property damage and we were able to remove the tree without incident.When you are ready to prune the tree in the future we'd be pleased to come out and offer you our best price. Good luck and thanks again, bye for now.
