What we do

Tree work, start to finish

One company takes the tree down, grinds the stump, hauls the wood and turns it into mulch. No subcontractors and no waiting on someone else's crane.

Why Newcomb's

We own the iron

Most tree companies rent a crane when a job gets difficult, and you pay for the rental and the wait. Ours are parked in Halifax and go out with our own operators.

45-ton and 110-ton cranes

Trees over houses, pools, septic systems and wires are lifted out in sections. Nothing is dropped.

Two stump grinders

A large machine for open yards and a compact one that fits through a standard gate.

Bucket trucks and trained climbers

The right access for every tree, including the ones a truck cannot reach.

Log trucks, chip trucks and a tub grinder

Wood leaves the same day and is recycled into mulch at our own yard.

How it works

Three steps, one crew

  1. 1

    Call or send a photo

    Tell us about the tree. Attach a picture to the estimate form and we can often give you a range before we visit.

  2. 2

    Free on-site estimate

    We look at the tree, the access and what is underneath it, then give you a written price. No pressure.

  3. 3

    Removal and cleanup

    The crew arrives with the right equipment, takes the tree down safely, and leaves the yard raked and clean.

  • I had a great experience with Paul and his crew! I had twelve very large pine trees taken down in the front of my house. They were able to complete the job within a day, everything completed and cleaned up. Excellent work.

  • Two huge, elderly Norway Maples sadly had to be taken down before they came down on their own. They were in front of my home and street adjacent. Not an easy removal. Newcomb’s Tree Service was professional in every aspect and reasonably priced.

  • The crew was hard working, friendly and efficient. By far the fairest price of anyone on the South Shore.

  • The tree service provided was exceptional. The team was out a few times to make sure they had the right equipment for the job. I barely knew they were here. Thank you!

The things people ask before they call.

Yes. Every estimate from Newcomb's Tree Service is free. Call (781) 294-1520 or send the estimate form with a photo of the tree and we will schedule a visit and give you a written price before any work starts.

We work within about 30 miles of our yard at 350 Industrial Drive in Halifax, MA. That covers Plymouth County and the South Shore, including Halifax, Plympton, Hanson, Pembroke, Kingston, Plymouth, Duxbury, Marshfield, Bridgewater, Brockton, Middleborough, Taunton and the towns around them.

A crane is the safest choice when a tree is over a house, pool, septic system or wires, when it is dead and unsafe to climb, or when there is no room to lower pieces. We own a 45-ton and a 110-ton crane, so the tree is lifted out in sections instead of being dropped.

Yes, 24 hours a day. If a tree is on your house, car or driveway, call (781) 294-1520 at any hour. We bring the crane or bucket truck the job needs and can work with your insurance company.

Stump grinding is priced separately so you only pay for it if you want it. We run two grinders, a large one for open yards and a compact one that fits through a standard gate.

Paul Newcomb started the company in 2000. We are a member of the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), have Certified Tree Care Safety Professional (CTSP) training on staff, and are fully insured.

Tree down? We answer at 2 am.

Storm damage, a tree on the house or a blocked driveway. Call now and a crew with the right equipment is on the way.
