Local conditions
Trees and lots in Brookline
Much of the canopy dates to the era when Frederick Law Olmsted lived and worked here. Mature red oak, Norway maple, American beech and white pine stand over the larger properties on Fisher Hill and around Chestnut Hill, while Coolidge Corner and Brookline Village pack street trees and backyard maples between multi-family homes. Old trees in small spaces bring predictable trouble: decay in heavy limbs, roots lifting walks and walls, beech leaf disease thinning crowns, and storm failures with nowhere safe to fall.
Typical work in Brookline
- Crane removal of large oaks and maples from backyards with no room to fell or drag.
- Crown reduction and deadwood pruning over slate roofs, driveways and shared property lines on older lots.
- Stump grinding with the compact machine in fenced yards reached only through a standard gate.
Good to know in Brookline
Trees in the strip between sidewalk and street are public shade trees under the Brookline tree warden, so do not cut them yourself. Properties along the Muddy River or near Lost Pond may need Conservation Commission review. Street parking is tight, so we plan truck and crane placement ahead.

From customers 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!
Fantastic work. Fast, efficient, added some extra trees to the quote the day of for a reasonable price. All in all, would definitely use them again.
Excellent! I highly recommend Newcombs. The crew is awesome. Efficient, friendly, accommodating. Our experience was 5+ stars.
