Tree Trimming

I rarely do reviews, but Craig (CB Tree Services) was fantastic.

I did a little research, contacted a few companies, and decided on CB Tree and they did not disappoint.

Craig is truly knowledgeable, professional, and confident in his field. I hired him, and his team, to trim two trees, one being approximately sixty feet tall. He really did a fantastic job and left the property
exceptionally clean.

Craig is a nice man, a proud man, who does an excellent job at a very fair price. I would hire him again and highly recommend him.

Thank you, Craig

Hi Shellee, Thank you for writing in. Your large Silver Maple tree was trimmed over your tenant's house and their next door neighbor of low, weak, or invasive branches which were hanging horizontally over both rooftops. The trimming will allow more sunlight to both lawns and gardens and without the weight burden of these large overhanging branches, the tree will be much more resistant to wind gusts and inclement weather. While we were aloft, we also cleared the inner canopy of deadwood, sucker growth, rubbing and duplicate branches to thin the canopy. This allows the wind to blow through the tree, instead of "at" the tree and increases the wind resistance further. Your Maple tree is much safer now and I'm sure your neighbours appreciate the courtesy you gave them by pruning over their yard as well.
We certainly appreciate the off season work and the kind review, thank you for both. We're at the other end of the phone should the need arise and please know that anyone you send our way will be treated well also.
Until then all the best. Take care, Craig.

Thank you Annette. The tree canopies have been elevated, so you're sure to get much more sunlight penetration to the rear garden as planned. The trees are safer and look much better now that they've been trimmed. We were happy to help your neighbours also. Thanks for the work and taking the time to review us.
All the best, Craig.

That's terrific Todd. I'm happy you're happy. The tree is much safer now, with that large limb removed that was hollowed out and extending over the house. You were wise to have the work done before the extra weight of all the foliage could have caused the limb to fail. Many people dont realize that a large limb full of foliage becomes that much heavier during a rain or ice storm. The added stress of strong winds while this is occurring, frequently causes large limbs to come crashing down. The good news is that It's easy to correct this situation with corrective pruning and canopy thinning which is great for the tree and doesn't cost a lot. In your case, that large limb had become hollowed near the junction with the trunk, which made it dangerous and likely to fail in the short term. I'm glad we were able to pre empt that possibility by removing the limb and pruning out the canopy interior to allow greater airflow through the tree. It's like poking holes through a giant sail, which is very effective. Thank you for the winter work, our rates are seasonally adjusted when we aren't quite as busy. I'm glad you were able to take advantage of the savings and we're grateful for both the work and the kind review. It was a pleasure and contrary to what you believe, you make a fine cup of coffee.
All the best, Craig and Dillon.

Thank you for the work Mike and the kind review. We appreciate all work but especially so in the winter when the jobs aren't as plentiful. I'm glad you were able to take advantage of our seasonally discounted winter rates and again, we are grateful for the work and the review.
All the best to you, Craig.

Amazing Tree Removal Service

Craig and his son Dillon are amazing. I can't praised them enough for a great job they did cutting down and removing a dangerous dead tree in my backyard. Craig is so honest, polite, and transparent. He called and explained everything in detailed about the job and came the next day as promised despite his busy schedule and the terrible weather condition (I'm sure other people would have flopped). Thank you for so much for everything!

Thank you very much Elena for the kind review and for selecting our company to do the work. The tree had toppled and come to rest in amongst several trees belonging to two different neighbours. Luckily there were other trees close by which we used to cradle and hold your tree in place while we freed it from the other trees. Along with steel supports under the tree, we were able to dismantle it without any issues. The job went well and we're grateful for the work and your review of it. Have a great Christmas, all the best to you and your family.
Sincerely, Craig.

Great Work

We would highly recommend this company for their service. The owner was able to remove a few trees and trim several trees in our backyard on time and within our budget. We would use this company again.

Hey Shak,
Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to write us a review. The work went very well and I'm glad you're pleased with the results. The yard looks much bigger now and you're sure to get much more sunlight into the back garden as we had planned.
We look forward to returning in the spring to do the tree planting and the other trimming. Have a great holiday season. All the best, Craig.

Please don't read this review...

I want to keep them as my little secret but they are too good to keep to myself so i'm going to give them the review they deserve and hope they still have time for me when i need tree work done again in the future!

Craig and his son Dee are the real deal, what i call good salt of the earth people. I had a large tree from my neighbours' yard that had split at the base and was leaning precariously over my yard that was going to fall over (only a matter of time). I emailed him via homestars at night and Craig contacted me first thing in the morning. He was in the middle of a move and had other clients but understood the urgency and offered to swing by and see what he could do to help me. Craig offered to tie up or brace the tree until such time as he could come back to address the issue. After spending some time with me going over the issue and my options he ended up fitting me in the same day! He took down the tree as far as he could in order to make it safe, cleaned up my yard and left the place neat and tidy. My wife commented that he cleaned it better than it was before he came. This wasn't an easy job given that the tree was unsafe to climb and being in the back yard, he didn't have the option of machinery to assist. Regardless Craig and his son did an awesome job and i couldn't be more pleased. They are great people, friendly kind and professional and their pricing was reasonable, i couldn't have asked for a better outcome on such short notice.

Keep up the great work guys. It was great meeting you and thanks for answering all my questions and doing such a great job. I'll be sure to call you the next time i need any tree work done and you can be sure that I'll recommend your company/services to my friends/family.

Tree Removal

Craig and his team did an amazing job removing a large tree that had fell over between a fence and a tool shed in my parents side yard. The branches were sitting on a telephone line as well. Their work was precise and accurate. My parents were completely satisfied with the work Craig and his team did and were very happy that the tree was removed without any damage to the fence or tool shed. My parents are very appreciative of the time and care Craig and his team took while removing the tree and debris after the work. Thank you CB Tree Service for helping my parents!

Hi Fei,
That tree toppled in the best way it could have. The branches were held up by the strong trunk line which provides phone and cable service to all the homes. It protected all the sheds from being damaged, while giving our crew a dependable support to dismantle the tree. Your father Winston was there the whole time, anxiously waiting to see the job through, while providing cold drinks for our staff. He was great. His kind referral to his neighbor gave us another job right next door. It was a pleasure helping them and we!re grateful that they chose our company to perform the work. Both jobs went perfectly with no issues. Thank you for taking the time to review us. All the best, Craig.

Amazing work tree and shrubery removal

Absolute pleasure working with Craig and his coworker. They came on time and they did an amazing job of cutting down the shrubbery and tree. I expected to see some stumps left behind but it had all been removed and the ground was level and neatly covered with soil. They also cleaned up afterwards. It was all very professionally done and I would highly recommend them. Craig is very polite and friendly and very honest. His was the best price I had been quoted despite having to travel all the way from Scarborough to Mississauga.

Thank you Sandra. The area looks much larger with the weeds removed. The walnut tree was far too close to the gas line and may have been a problem in the future. Thank you for the review. It was a pleasure all around. All the best, Craig.

Tree Service Branch Cutting & Trimming

I contacted Craig from CB Tree Service to cut some branches from the trees in my yard near Birchmount & Ellesmere in Scarborough, ON. I was very pleased with the service that Craig and his crew provided. Craig worked as a real professional in his field with utmost safety for himself, his crew, and others with special concern for people using the sidewalk on Birchmount Rd. Craig and his crew also did a fantastic clean-up job and also assisted me by taking away an existing broken tree branch that was in my yard prior to his arrival. Thanks for your service Craig. I really appreciate it.

Hey Michael,
Thanks for the job and for taking the time to review our work. I'm pleased that your pleased.
Removing the limbs over the sidewalk will go a long way to improving the weight burden on the tree and the safety of the passersby traffic below. Consider yourself a preferred customer and know that anyone else you send our way will be treated well also. Enjoy the rest of the summer while we have it, knowing the trees will be much more healthier and safer moving forward, as a result of the trimming.
Take care, all the best, Craig.
