Very happy

I had a limb fall from our 60 year old pine tree. Craig and his team were able to remove it for us. They were fast and efficient and very reasonably priced. Very professional. I would highly recommend them.

Tree Removal

Craig and his team removed a large fallen branch and tree from a risky location near my garage.The job was completed on time and budget in less than desirable winter conditions. I was very impressed with their focus on human safety and potential damage to my home during the tree removal. Craig's long experience in tree removal proved beneficial to a successful outcome.Would highly recommend
Thanks Craig and Team

Thank you Brian,
The removal was necessary as half of the tree had crashed into your back yard. The job went very well even while standing on the icy roof at times. Your neighbor watched the operation and has since hired us to prune his massive Oak tree. I'd like to thank you for the work and for putting your confidence in us.
We're at the other end if the phone if you need us again. Please know that anyone you send our way will be treated well.
All the best,
Craig

Thank You Craig

We lost a juniper in last weeks 30CM snow dump and it was partially uprooted and blocking in part our neighbours drive. Craig and crew at CB Trees just solved our problem. Such good service and clean up too. They will be back in the spring to get roots out and plant a replacement. 100% recommendation.

Thank you for the kind words. Your Juniper tree was one of many evergreen trees that could not support the weight of the snow during the recent storm and toppled. I'm glad we were able to help and we look forward to returning in the to help you with the replacement shrub. Until then, all the best, Craig.

Removed Branches from Storm Damaged Tree

Craig came by really quickly after the heavy/wet snowfall. He removed the hanging branches and made it safe then came back and removed branched that could cause a problem in the future, removed all the branches from the ground and left my driveway neat and tidy. Great guy, very friendly and explained what he was doing so I would understand. Would hire him again. It was a smaller job considering the number of trees damaged by the storm but he treated this job as important as the bigger ones. Really appreciated that.

Thank you Michele, the job went very well and we were glad to help. I'm glad we cleared the service lines to the house as well.
We appreciated the coffee, very nice of you. Going forward, the tree should be much easier to manage, while still providing shade. Thank you for the review. Take care, all the best, Craig.

Cat rescue

I found my young cat Vinny up on a tree, after looking for hours. He was up about 30 to 40 feet, begging for help. I called animal control, and they recommended CB tree service.
Craig came right away.
I found Craig to be very polite and caring. It was a very difficult job climbing up that tree, but he took his time talking to my cat, Vinny was listening, and he knew Craig was there to help him.
Craig saved my Vinny.
I would recommend Craig to anyone in need of his services.
Sincerely; Antonio Cordeiro

Thanks very much Antonio, for the kind words. The rescue went well. Poor Vinny was wedged in a small crotch of the tree and couldn't move. He was probably chased up there escaping from a dog. I'm glad we could help. We'll be by soon to look after pruning the trees at the front. Thank you for everything, see you soon.
All the best, Craig.

Removal of Pine Trees Next to House

My daughter purchased a home with a tall pine growing 10 inches from the eavestroughs and house. Craig arrived with his team and carefully removed the tree.

He and his team are pleasant, careful and professional.

Company Response

Thank you Sonya,
The Balsam tree we removed was another example of a fine tree that unfortunately was planted too close to the house, long before your daughter moved in. It was too large to be transplanted, as equipment couldn't manoeuvre so close to the foundation. The tree would likely have caused damage to the roof and shingles in the near future during heavy winds and may have caused foundation issues moving forward. Although we tried to save the top of the tree to be used as a Christmas tree for the house, it turned out to be rotten and fell apart.
I guess the only positive was that by being proactive, damage by the tree was avoided and the diameter of the tree was still small enough that it didnt require a permit.
Thank you for the winter work. We always appreciate every job we are awarded, especially during the winter months when our season has slowed and we aren't as busy as other times of the year.
Many people aren't aware that we work throughout the winter and those that do, always enjoy taking advantage of our seasonally reduced rates, especially when prices seem to be rising everywhere.
We look forward to returning in the spring to trim the large Elm tree in the back yard.
Until then, I hope you and your family enjoy the holiday season and we wish you all the best in the new year.
Thank you for choosing CB Tree.
Sincerely, Craig Telenko

Problematic Weed Tree

In June, Craig was out to remove a very problematic Manitoba Maple tree that was damaged by the windstorm. A major limb of the tree had broken and hung precariously over ours and the neighbour's fence/deck, at a 45 degree angle. Until he received the City's permission to remove the broken limb (but not the remainder of the leaning tree), Craig shored it, preventing it from breaking off and causing further damage.
Lately, we were concerned the remaining half of the leaning tree was unstable, therefore, obtained a permit from the City to remove it entirely. We received another, considerably higher, quote and requested Craig to do the work. There was a major obstacle with the trunk, i.e. over the years, the tree grew into the chain-link fence, embedding it within. Craig worked very hard to cut through the trunk, destroying and/or dulling several blades of his equipment (chainsaw, sawzall and stump grinder). He managed to complete the job perfectly, leaving no trace of the tree or chain-link fence.
We highly recommend the efficient, hard-working team of CB Tree; Craig and his crew are reliable, friendly, honest and do excellent work, ensuring the customer is satisfied.

Hi Mary, I'd like to thank you very much for taking the time to post a review. . The Manitoba maple tree removal went without incident and now that the stump is out, the fence construction can be completed as planned. Thank you for the kind words. I'm told that as a result of your review, and all the others this year, we're in the running for Best of the Best Tree Service, again this year. It wouldn't happen without the excellent reviews our customers give us and it doesn't go unnoticed. Please know that anyone you send our way will be treated well also.
Thanks again, all the best, Craig.

We needed to address problems with our Russian Olive Trees. A friend recommended Craig Tree Service. He came promptly and removed the one that needed removing and trimmed the other. Very experienced and did an excellent job. Reasonable priced. Very honest, trust worthy and dependable. Easy to work with. I do recommend Craig's service.

Tree Pruning

Craig the owner did a great job pruning our 80 year old tree. He was professional, organized and made sure we understood the work he was undertaking. The job was competed in the timeframe he quoted and left our property cleaner then when he arrived. I highly recommend Craig to anyone who requires any kind of tree service.

Large Tree Pruning in the back yard

Love these guys, they work safe, price is reasonable. They clean up after the job was completed, even help me moved some lumber to my third floor. They do a lot of work in the Annex (many old trees).
Already recommended them to few of my builder friends. Great honest work.

Thanks a lot Nathan. That big old Maple will let a lot more sunlight in to the garden now that the canopy has been thinned and we trimmed a few of those large, leaning branches which were blocking your sunlight. The tree looks great, the canopy is more functional and the garden and patio area will share the benefits. Glad to help, I'm pleased you're pleased.
All the best, Craig.
