Assonet is the old village half of Freetown, gathered around Four Corners and the head of a tidal bay. Newcomb's Tree Service drives over from Halifax to remove, prune and grind for owners of its antique homes and wooded back lots.

Local conditions
Trees and lots in Assonet
The village center holds some of the oldest houses in the area, shaded by maples and oaks that have been growing for generations. Yards along South Main Street and Water Street slope toward tidal water, where salt and wind off the bay stunt the outer trees. Behind the village the land climbs quickly into oak and pine woods running to Profile Rock and the state forest. Old trees with cavities, long heavy limbs and past storm damage are the usual concern in the center.
Typical work in Assonet
- Weight reduction and deadwood pruning on old village maples and oaks worth keeping.
- Removing failing trees beside antique houses, barns and stone walls, with a crane where needed.
- Cutting back woods that have grown in on back lots, with brush chipped and hauled away.
Good to know in Assonet
The Assonet River and Assonet Bay are tidal here, and bank or shoreline cutting may call for Conservation Commission review. Village streets are narrow with overhead wires. Shade trees in the public way are the tree warden's responsibility, even when they stand at your wall.

Reviews
From customers on the South Shore
Excellent! I highly recommend Newcombs. The crew is awesome. Efficient, friendly, accommodating. Our experience was 5+ stars.
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.
