Dorchester is a big, dense city neighborhood of triple-deckers, Victorians and backyards where one tree can shade four properties. Newcomb's Tree Service comes up from Halifax for removals, crane picks, pruning and stump grinding in close quarters.

Local conditions
Trees and lots in Dorchester
Backyard trees here are often Norway maple, black locust and black cherry that seeded themselves along fence lines decades ago. Ashmont and Jones Hill carry bigger red oaks and beeches on older, larger lots. Yards are small and fenced, with garages, porches and wires on every side, so there is rarely a place to drop anything. Along Savin Hill and Neponset, wind off Dorchester Bay adds stress. Compacted soil and old pruning wounds lead to decay in the main trunk.
Typical work in Dorchester
- Crane removal of a backyard tree, lifted in sections over a triple-decker and down to the street.
- Pruning limbs off roofs, porches and neighboring yards while keeping the tree healthy and balanced.
- Removing storm-split maples and locusts that have landed on fences, garages or parked cars.
Good to know in Dorchester
Street trees and anything growing in the sidewalk strip belong to the city, handled through Boston Parks and Recreation. For private trees, tight streets and parked cars are the main issue. We may need a driveway or curb space cleared for the crane or chip truck.

Reviews
From customers on the South Shore
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.
