What Saluda ground is actually like
Top of the Saluda Grade, north up the mountain from the yard. Steep, wooded and awkward to get equipment into.
Saluda sits at the top of the Saluda Grade, the steepest standard-gauge main line grade in the country, and the town is built to match — short steep streets, wooded lots that fall away behind the houses, and a lot of hemlock. The hemlock matters: woolly adelgid has killed a great many of them across this part of the mountains, and dead hemlock comes down and leaves a stump whether anyone planned for it or not.
Getting the machine in
Steep is the whole story here. Slope, not distance, is what decides whether a Saluda stump is a straightforward job. The grinder is tracked and narrow enough for most gates and side passages, which is usually what decides whether a domestic stump in Saluda is a straightforward job or an awkward one. Send a photo of the access with your enquiry and you will get a real answer rather than a hedge.
What it costs here
Distance from Tryon is part of the price, so smaller jobs at the far edge of the map are best paired with other work in the same week. What drives the price is set out in full.

Asked most often here
Can you work on a steep lot?
Often, but it depends on the slope and what is below it. Send a photo taken from the bottom of the slope looking up — that one picture answers it faster than any description.
We lost hemlocks to the adelgid. Can you take the stumps?
Yes, and it is common work up here. Dead hemlock grinds easily compared with a live hardwood of the same size.
