A Cambridge backyard can hold a hundred-year-old oak and still be too narrow to turn a pickup around. Newcomb's Tree Service comes up from Halifax with climbers and cranes for careful removals and pruning in exactly that kind of space.

Local conditions
Trees and lots in Cambridge
West Cambridge around Brattle Street and Fresh Pond has the largest trees: old red oaks, American beeches and maples on deep lots behind historic houses. Cambridgeport, Riverside, Mid-Cambridge and North Cambridge are tighter, with Norway maples squeezed between houses, brick walls and overhead wires. Urban soil is compacted and dry, roots compete with foundations and pipes, and summer heat is hard on stressed trees. Decay, deadwood over patios and limbs resting on roofs are the usual reasons people call.
Typical work in Cambridge
- Rigging down large trees in sections over gardens, brick patios, fences and neighboring houses.
- Careful crown cleaning and clearance pruning on old oaks and beeches behind historic homes.
- Compact stump grinding in walled or fenced yards that only a standard gate opens into.
Good to know in Cambridge
Cambridge has a tree protection ordinance that can require a permit before larger trees on private property come down, so confirm requirements with the city first. Street trees are the city's responsibility. Many streets are narrow and permit-parked, so equipment access needs planning.

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.
