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.

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.

Tree removal and landscaping

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.

Large Tree Trimming - Neighbors - Great Service

For anyone looking for tree services, you wont be disappointed. My neighbors tree needed trimming and since much was on my side as well, we both agreed to share the cost as it benefited me as well. My neighbor reached out to CB Tree Service and Craig came to assess and quote on the job and after meeting he had a feeling; he had the right person for the job. He was right, Craig and his crew are knowledgeable, safe, professional, and just genuinely good people. Craig asked what we both would like to see done and explained what and how he could do it in a way that was easy for us to understand and approximately how long it would take. They did an excellent job and cleaned up as if there was no one there. I honestly think they left it cleaner than when they arrived. Neighbors came over asking for tree service as well and since it was early enough in the day, Craig and crew were able to service them as well. Thank you, Craig and crew.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I appreciated that you were very clear what the focus was for your pruning job so it was easy for us to tailor the trimming to suit your goals. The results were very good, the tree looks a hundred percent better, more sunlight will filter through to the lawn and there will be less leaf debris to clean up in the fall. I'm very pleased with the outcome and happy that your neighbors were able to take advantage of our attendance as well. If the need arises, we can respond quickly.
Until then, thank you for choosing CB Tree.
All the best, Craig.

Pruning of Large Tree

Craig and crew pruned our large maple tree, and we were thrilled with their work from start to finish! Craig came and completed an arborist report for us a few months back, and advised us on the health of our back yard tree. We decided to hire him to prune our tree this fall. Craig took down several large limbs, and trimmed back the canopy, giving us a lot more sunlight and breathing room in our back yard. The crew was polite, professional, and safe. They cleared away all the wood, and left the back yard cleaner than before they started. We will definitely hire Craig for all our tree service needs in the future! Thank you to Craig and team!

Thank you very much for taking the time to review our work Justin. It was a pleasure from start to finish. Your neighbors were very gracious also, moving their cars for us several times to allow access to dispose of the trimmings. The job went very well and the back yard has a lot more sunlight filtering through than before. By removing some of the larger limbs and elevating the canopy, we were able to create a wind tunnel through the trees so the wind can blow through the canopy, instead of at it. I'm pleased you're pleased. Thanks again, all the best, Craig.

Thanks very much for the kind words. I've learned over the years that the cleanup is almost (sometimes more,) important than the job we're on. I'm glad you're happy. Thanks for the review.
All the best, Craig.
