Joe and his team were fantastic to work with. The crew arrived on time, they were professional and efficient to complete the job. The work was all done as requested and agreed upon from the initial quote at a reasonable price. When the work was done, the crew left my property in great shape, completely cleared. Would recommend CBL and will definitely hire them again in the future!

Kate Evans

CBL was a pleasure to hire. They were easy to schedule an estimate, available for the project (removal 6 dead trees), prompt, professional, attentive to detail. It was challenging to work around the septic tank and septic field, lawn irrigation heads, and the existing landscaping. Nothing was damaged. Highly recommend CBL.

K Beckwith

We received excellent service from CBL. The tree was in a tricky location between the house and the garage and it was taken down quickly and professionally with no damage to either building. All brush and smaller branches were chipped and taken away, leaving the larger limbs as we requested. And it was a lot quieter than I thought it would be. I highly recommend this company.

Alice

Great company to work with: quick responses; patient explanation of options; fair prices; very efficient; thorough cleanup; very respectful of your property; friendly to boot. Can't say enough good things. Just hired them back for a second job.

Chris Brown

Awesome service. Had a downed tree branch-Joe and crew were quick to respond, gave me a quote and stuck to it. Took care of my tree and both the tree and I are happy. Very polite and knowledgeable. Great customer service.

Neena C

Joe and his crew were professional and courteous at all times. They were exceptional in removing our tree. The damaged tree was brought down with precision and care no damage to any shed in my yard or my neighbors yard. We would recommend them 100%. Thank you so much!!

Lisa B

JB, Andrew and Joe came by to remove the two trees that I requested. They came early, worked professionally and efficiently. We cracked some jokes, very genuine and friendly guys. Their prices for the quality and speed of work they provided is amazing. Unfortunately, I can't give anything higher than 5 stars, otherwise I would. 100/10, I'm definitely hiring these guys again if I have any other trees and stumps to remove.

Angelo Goncalves

This is an amazing company and anyone needing trees taken down should absolutely call them. Joe was super knowledgeable when he came to assess the trees and let me know exactly what should be done with timelines. Him and his crew took down a very old rotted tree and limbed another one. They worked safely and efficiently and the whole team was friendly. I will be calling them again in the future!

Darcy Wight

I would highly recommend Joe and his team @ CBL Tree service. The work they did at my property was done quickly, safely and they too the time to ensure my yard we cleaned well before they left. All that and the price is very competitive. Will recommend him and his team to anyone and will definitely use CBL for tree services again in the future.

Joe Newbery

I hired Joe to take down city owned trees with permits. He was knowledgeable and offered impeccable service. He stayed ahead of our needs and gave honest updates every time we called. I will 100% work with him again.

Ryan Sharpe

I highly recommend CBL Tree Service. Joe was prompt, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He and his crew did a terrific job, right down to the cleanup afterwards.
Definitely a five star company!

Bobbi-Lynn Sloan

This is the second time I've had Joe and his crew working on my property. As with the first time, they were precise, fast, cleaned up as they worked and the price was entirely reasonable with no changes in cost upon completion. Great job gentlemen, kudos!

K J

Joe and his team are fantastic. He came out the same day that I called and had a quote in hand by the evening with reasonable pricing. He was able to fit our job in the very next day. Great work on pruning the fire blight out of our pear trees and should hopefully keep them going for years to come. Cleaned up and left no trace after. Quick, courteous, and professional. Will be recommending in the future.

Jordan Huffman

Joe and his guys are top notch professionals! They showed up when they said they would. I had three large trees in my backyard, one right next to the house and they safely took them down and ground up the stumps. I’d give these guys a few more stars than the rating allows.
Thanks again Joe!

Paul Barber

CBL safely removed a dead tree from our city property, in the middle of a flowerbed, and close to our wooden fence and shed. They were quick to respond to our request and very tidy on the job. Not a leaf trampled - you wouldn't even know they had been there! Great job!

Karen Heysel

I highly recommend CBL Tree Service. Joe was great to deal with. They came in, got the tree down and took it all away. I was surprised how quickly they did it, without leaving a twig behind!

Cindy Thompson

CBL did an excellent job taking down a large dead pine tree in our backyard. They gave us an excellent quote and completed the job within hours. Highly recommend them and we will definitely be using them for any jobs in the future!

K Armitage

Had CBL remove a large leaning tree and some old tree stumps from our property. They did a great job and left the grounds completely clear of any debris. Friendly service and fair prices. Would definitely recommend them!

  • What is the Emerald Ash Borer?

    The emerald ash borer is an invasive species of beetle that is decimating the ash tree population in Ontario. It is a green beetle about the size of a nickel which lays its eggs in the top of ash trees. The larvae, which look like small grubs, chew their way around the cambium layer of the tree, just inside the bark. This cuts off the circulation of the sap flowing up the tree, and eventually kills the ash tree. Signs of infestation are small ‘D’ shaped exit holes that the larvae make when they come out of the bark, often accompanied by light coloured patches on the bark which are the result of small animals scraping at the bark in attempts to feed on the larvae. Ash trees can be treated with Treeazin, a natural pesticide that limits the beetles effect on the trees, if the treatment is applied before the beetle infests a tree. Unfortunately, once the beetle has established itself in a tree, very few trees are able to survive the infestation. If you see signs of a heavy infestation in your ash tree, your best option is to remove the tree before it dies completely. Once the ash trees completely die from emerald ash borer infestation, they are quite brittle, and in many cases are more hazardous to remove. It is always more safe and more affordable to remove the tree sooner than later, as the tree becomes more dangerous to remove the longer it stands dead. 

  • What is Oak Wilt?

    Oak Wilt is a vascular disease that effects most oak trees, and has been found in Ontario as of 2023. 

     It is usually deadly for oak trees. To avoid spreading the disease, oak trees should only be pruned in the winter months, when the airborne spores of oak wilt will not infect your trees. For a full picture of oak wilt and the hazard it poses for your trees, you can refer to Canada's Invasive Species Centre here: 


    https://www.invasivespeciescentre.ca/invasive-species/meet-the-species/invasive-pathogens/oak-wilt/

  • Do I need a permit to remove my tree?

    It is best to check your local bylaws for their tree removal permit bylaw. In our main areas of service, the only city that requires tree removal permits is the City of Peterborough. In Peterborough, a tree removal permit is requirred to remove any tree measuring 7.5 cm diamter at 1.37m above grade. CBL TREE is a licensed tree service provider with the city of Peterborough, and handles the complete tree permit process, which typically only takes 1 week, from start of process to issuance of permit. The cost for a tree permit for the removal of up to 5 trees is $65.00.

ABOUT

Joe and his team were simply amazing.
The night of the derecho storm I called them as we had many large trees down and others threatening to land on our cabin. They arrived at 6:30am (when they said they would) and stayed until 7:00pm making sure the property was cleared and safe from further damage.

What really impressed me was how professional and detailed they were. They communicated exactly what needed to be done, and they just made it happen. They had all the right tools including a crane, tree transporter and large chipper which made for an very efficient and safe removal. After 15 minutes it was clear these guys were masters of their craft and it was obvious we were in good hands.  It was a pleasure doing business with them.
In all areas, they exceeded expectations.
