East Taunton feels more like a country village than part of a city, with pine woods, ponds and bog land around the house lots. Newcomb's Tree Service works here regularly from Halifax, a short run west through Middleborough.

Local conditions
Trees and lots in East Taunton
Sandy soil and scrub forest set this area apart from the rest of Taunton. White pine and pitch pine are everywhere, mixed with scrub oak, red oak and red maple around the ponds of Massasoit State Park. Lots are larger than in the city center and often back onto woods or old cranberry bog. Pines here grow fast and tall, shed heavy limbs in wet snow and uproot in sandy ground. Spongy moth has also hit the local oaks hard in bad years.
Typical work in East Taunton
- Removing storm-damaged or leaning white pines along driveways and behind homes on wooded lots.
- Lot clearing for additions, garages and new house sites, with stumps ground or dug out.
- Pruning out dead oak limbs left behind after repeated seasons of spongy moth caterpillar defoliation.
Good to know in East Taunton
Properties near Lake Rico, the Taunton River or the bog reservoirs may sit inside wetland buffer zones, so ask the Conservation Commission before clearing. Trees inside the state park belong to the Commonwealth. Middleboro Avenue has overhead utilities for most of its length, which affects how roadside trees come down.

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.
