Removal of Our Front Yard Tree
We had a mature tree in our front yard that was relatively close to the house as well as the neighbor’s house, providing us with cool shade for many years. Recently, its main branch developed a large crack that made it a liability, thus we call on CB Tree for their help.
Craig responded promptly to my request for a quote and came over to assess whether we could save the tree and minimize the cost. He provided a very reasonable quote. I was impressed with his expertise and professionalism on the matter and prompt action to temporarily secure the large crack, to avoid further deterioration and mitigate risk, while he proceeded with the municipal paperwork for its removal.
When the approval came through we scheduled his return to cut down the tree and to grind out the stump. Unfortunately, we ran in to some scheduling conflicts due to weather related emergencies, as Craig had to balance his availability in doing triage. We rescheduled the job and Craig and his crew quickly went about reducing our tree efficiently and safely without any impact to the surrounding properties. Craig was also nice enough to help me out with the surrounding landscaping and other miscellaneous requests to even things out a bit for a nominal sum, well below his regular rates.
At the end, Craig and his crew did a great job disposing the tree and cleaning up the yard. By evening, our tree was gone and the stump was turned into wood chips filling in the hole.
All in all I am very happy with the service and I would recommend CB Tree to all tree owners.
- Approximate cost of services:

- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
- For all tree owners, as your tree matures it need to be trimmed/thinned out periodically to avoid growth that may end up causing damage to itself due to high wind loads. Otherwise you may end up loosing the tree like we did... Talk to CB Tree, they can help.
