Salem Trees From Fairmount Hill to West Salem

Salem is a big-tree town. The South Salem hills, Fairmount Hill and Candalaria are full of tall firs and old oaks over steep driveways. The older neighborhoods near Bush's Pasture Park have shade trees that predate most of the houses. Across the river, West Salem sits on hillsides where a fir coming down has a long way to roll.


Then there's the February 2021 ice storm. Anyone who was here remembers the sound of limbs breaking all night, and the weeks of cleanup after.


That's the backdrop for tree services in Salem. Plenty of big trees, a lot of them on slopes, and a winter that can turn on you fast.

Commercial Tree Service for Salem Properties

Salem has a lot of commercial ground: offices, apartments, churches, shopping centers, rental houses. Every one of them has trees that need to stay off roofs, signs, parking lots and sidewalks.


Our commercial tree work in Salem covers routine trimming, removals and lot clearing, scheduled around your business hours.

Tree Trimming for South Salem Hillside Homes

Big trees on a hillside lot grow toward the light, which usually means toward your house. Our tree trimming in Salem pulls them back off the roof, raises limbs over the driveway, and thins the crown so the wind passes through. Need deadwood and weak limbs out too? Our tree pruning services handle that on the same visit, and a certified arborist on the team checks structure before cuts are made.

Taking Down Large Firs on Salem Slopes

Large trees, hazardous trees, trees over houses on a grade. Yes to all of it. We rig and piece them down when dropping them whole isn't safe, and haul the brush when we're done. See how a big removal works.

Salem Stump Grinding Below Grade

Old stumps are all over Salem, plenty of them left over from storms through the years. Our Salem stump grinding takes them below the surface so you can mow, plant or build over the spot.

24-Hour Emergency Tree Service in Salem

Getting Salem Trees Ready Before the Next Ice Storm

Trees that fail in an ice storm usually show warning signs first: dead limbs, long heavy branches, weak forks, a lean that got worse every year. Regular tree maintenance takes care of those while the weather is calm.


We'll walk your property and tell you straight what needs work now, what can wait, and whether a weak tree is worth cabling or should come out. The estimate is free.

Land Clearing and Blackberry Removal on Salem Acreage

Salem's edges are still rural. Acreage south toward Turner, out past the Salem airport and in the hills west of the river has fence lines buried in blackberries and fields gone back to brush.


We clear land, remove blackberries, mow fields and till ground, and we do small excavation and demolition with a compact excavator. One crew for the trees and the ground under them.

Salem's Tree Cutting Service Since 1942

Danny's grandpa started the business in 1942. His dad took it over. Danny runs it now. The name hasn't changed, and neither has the answer to a hard job: yes.
