CES Property Service, Tree Removal & Excavation

CES Property Service is the Salem outfit you call when a tree has to come out and the ground has to be put back after it — removal and stump grinding on one side, excavation, grading and drainage on the other. Christopher Salisbury runs it, and the company dates itself to 1998. The work spreads wider than that: brush chipping and forestry mulching, retaining walls, patios and walkways, hydro-seeding and lawn installs, septic install and repair, and a Bobcat or mini excavator for hire. Five sets of project photos sit on its Houzz page. It names Atkinson, Derry, Hampstead, Londonderry, Pelham, Plaistow, Salem, Sandown and Windham as its territory, and a commenter on a business directory said the company responded promptly. For a job that crosses both trades — a tree down, then a driveway or a drainage fix — this is a sensible call. Ask for a certificate of liability insurance, and get the stump, the brush and the final grade written into the quote so it is clear where the work stops.
