Our story

A Salmeron family business, rooted in West Asheville.

Family Tree Services is exactly what the name says — a family that does tree work. We grew up around Buncombe County. We know the species in your yard, the wind patterns that take down hemlocks in February, and the hurricane-remnant storms that roll through every autumn.

Our crew works with one ISA-certified arborist on staff, and every job — from a single dogwood prune to a 60-foot crane removal — goes through that filter: is it the right call for the tree, the property, and the homeowner.

When you call our number, you'll talk to a family member. Not a call center, not a chatbot.

How we work

From your call to a clean yard — four steps.

No mystery, no surprise charges, no salespeople. Here's exactly what happens when you book a job with us.

Step 01

Free on-site estimate

We come out, walk the property with you, and look at every tree in question. You'll get a written, itemized estimate before any saw runs.

Step 02

Honest recommendation

Sometimes the right call is "prune, don't remove." Sometimes it's "this one has to come down before next storm." We tell you straight.

Step 03

Careful execution

Rigging, ropes, controlled drops. Tarps under the work zone. Lawn protected. The Salmeron crew works clean.

Step 04

Cleanup & haul-off

Branches chipped, logs hauled (or left if you want firewood), sawdust raked. We leave your yard better than we found it.

What neighbors say

Buncombe County calls us back.

We don't run flashy ads — most of our jobs come from one neighbor telling the next. Here's the kind of feedback we hear.

★★★★★

"Quick to respond, professional, and the cleanup was spotless. They clearly knew what they were doing up in the tree — careful and safe the whole time."

"They told me a tree I assumed needed removing was actually salvageable with structural pruning. Honest advice that saved me money — exactly what you want from an arborist."

"Called after a storm dropped a limb on the garage. They answered, showed up fast, and had it cleared and tarped the same day. Lifesavers."

Credentials & coverage

Insurance you'll actually find on file.

A surprising number of tree companies in Western NC operate without real coverage. If something goes wrong — a limb through a roof, a ground-crew injury — that's your homeowner's policy on the hook. We carry full coverage and we'll send the certificate of insurance to you or your insurer before the job starts.

  • ISA Certified Arborist on staff
  • Full general liability insurance
  • Workers' compensation coverage
  • Bonded for additional homeowner protection
  • Certificate of insurance available on request

Good questions

Things Asheville homeowners ask us.

Yes. When a tree comes down on a house, a car, or across a driveway, it can't wait until Monday. Call (828) 276-2087 any hour — nights, weekends, holidays. We prioritize life-safety and structure calls first.
Absolutely. We carry full general liability and workers' compensation, and we're bonded. We'll send a certificate of insurance directly to you or your insurance company before any work begins — just ask when you call.
On-site estimates are free and no-pressure. We walk the property with you, look at every tree in question, and give you a written, itemized quote before any saw runs. What we quote is what you pay.
The opposite. We put tarps under the work zone, protect the lawn, chip the branches, haul the logs (or stack them for firewood if you want them), and rake the sawdust. We leave your yard better than we found it.
For the estimate, it helps to walk the property together so we're on the same page. For the work itself, many clients aren't home — we'll confirm the scope in writing first, then send photos when it's done.
Yes. We document the damage and our work in a format insurers accept, and we can coordinate directly with your adjuster. Call us before you call your insurance if you can, so we can capture the scene properly.

When the next storm rolls through the Blue Ridge —

we're already up. Tree down on your house? Limb across the driveway? Don't wait — Asheville's storms don't get less dangerous overnight. Call before you call your insurance, so we can document properly.
