Every tree, every season, every storm.

Removal, pruning, stump grinding, emergency response, and the planning work that prevents trouble before it starts โ€” all done by a Salmeron family crew with an ISA-certified arborist on staff.

The core work

What it actually looks like.

Six services that make up most of what we do across Buncombe County โ€” shown the way they happen on the job.

Service 01

Tree Removal

A leaning oak over the roof, a dead pine by the power line, a storm-cracked poplar โ€” removed the safe way. We rig and lower heavy limbs in controlled sections rather than dropping them, so nothing below gets damaged. Crane access when the site calls for it.

  • Rigging & sectional dismantling
  • Crane access for difficult sites
  • Full haul-off & site cleanup
  • Insurance documentation provided
PruningPruning and trimming tree branches
Service 02

Pruning & Trimming

Pruning isn't just shape โ€” it's tree health. The wrong cut invites decay and shortens a tree's life by decades. Our ISA-trained crew prunes to the tree's biology: clean collar cuts, proper thinning, and structural work that makes a tree safer in the next storm.

  • Crown thinning, raising & reduction
  • Deadwood & sucker removal
  • Structural & restoration pruning
  • Storm-prep cabling & bracing
Stump GrindingGround prepared after stump grinding
Service 03

Stump Grinding

Most "stump removal" leaves a crater and a trip hazard. Our grinders take the stump to grade, six inches below, or deep enough to replant โ€” your call. We chase the surface roots too, then mulch on-site or haul it off.

  • Grind to grade, 6", or 12" below
  • Surface root grinding
  • Backfill & reseed options
  • Mulch on-site or hauled off
Storm ResponseStorm-toppled tree with exposed root ball
Service 04

Storm Emergency Response

Hurricane remnants, ice storms, microbursts, summer thunderstorms โ€” Asheville gets every kind, and we answer the phone for all of them. Tree on a roof, limb across the power line, trunk split in the yard: call any hour and we'll prioritize life-safety first.

  • 24/7 emergency dispatch
  • Tree-on-structure removal
  • Tarp & temporary roof protection
  • Insurance documentation ready
