Honest assessment
Sometimes the right call is "prune, don't remove." Sometimes it's "this one's coming down in the next storm whether you want it to or not." We tell you straight, even when the smaller job pays us less.

Our story
It started where most good stories around here do — with a tree that needed to come down.
Family Tree Services has grown up the way most honest small businesses in Western North Carolina do: one neighbor's job at a time, one careful prune at a time, one Saturday call after a thunderstorm at a time.
We're the Salmeron family. We work out of a yard on Oakcrest Drive in West Asheville, we know the species in your yard, and we know what kind of wind takes down hemlocks in February vs. what kind of ice storm splits white oaks in January.
Our crew works with an ISA-certified arborist on staff. That's not required by North Carolina law — and frankly, that's the problem. Anyone with a chainsaw and a magnetic sign can call themselves a tree company here. We choose to hold ourselves to a higher standard.
When you call our number, you'll talk to a family member. Not a call center. Not a chatbot. Not a salesperson on commission.
