WHEN TREES BECOME TROUBLE, CBL IS HERE TO HELP

We know and love trees, but trees do fail. Various diseases can cause rot to set into the tree base, damaging the structural integrity of the tree and making it hazardous to its surroundings. Other trees may cause damage to adjacent buildings when their tree crowns spread over roofs or when roots begin to invade foundations. Some trees must be removed for the safety of persons and property.

CBL Tree Service takes care of everything from handling permits to removing the tree safely and leaving your property spotless.

For over 12 years, homeowners, investors, and property managers across Peterborough and the Kawarthas have relied on CBL Tree Service for expert tree removal. From tight residential spaces to large-scale commercial sites, we bring the knowledge, equipment, and care each project deserves.

Residential tree removal

RESIDENTIAL TREE REMOVAL

Removing a tree from your yard isn’t just about cutting it down—it’s about protecting your home, landscaping, and safety. Whether the tree is dying, leaning, or crowding your space, we’ll remove it cleanly and safely without damaging your property.

Comercial tree removal

COMMERCIAL TREE REMOVAL

We work with property managers, real estate investors, and developers to keep properties safe, clear, and visually appealing. Whether you’re preparing land for a build or managing multiple sites, our team delivers efficient, professional results on schedule.

Large tree crane removal

LARGE TREE CRANE REMOVAL

Some trees are simply too large or unsafe to remove without the use of heavy machinery. For these situations, we offer crane-assisted removals that allow us to extract dangerous or oversized trees with precision and control, even in tight or tricky spaces.

WHEN TREE REMOVAL IS NECESSARY

There are many reasons to remove a tree, and not all of them are obvious at first glance. A tree that looks healthy could be structurally unsound, while a dying tree can quickly become a safety hazard. We’ll help you assess the situation and make the right call.

HAZARDOUS OR LEANING TREES

Trees that lean over homes, driveways, or power lines pose a serious risk and should be assessed immediately.

STORM-DAMAGED OR SPLIT TREES

High winds, ice, or lightning can leave trees unstable and unpredictable, making safe removal the best option.

DISEASED OR DYING TREES

Deadwood, decay, or signs of pests like the Emerald Ash Borer can compromise a tree’s structure and should be dealt with promptly.

OVERGROWN OR PROBLEMATIC ROOTS

Invasive roots can damage foundations, sidewalks, and sewer lines. Removing the tree can prevent costly repairs.
