Freetown is two villages, Assonet to the west and a lake district to the east, separated by thousands of acres of state forest. Newcomb's Tree Service reaches both from Halifax and handles removals, crane work, lot clearing and stump grinding on the town's wooded properties.

Local conditions
Trees and lots in Freetown
Forest covers most of the town. Oak, white pine and beech fill the state forest and the private woodlots around it, on thin, stony soil over ledge. The eastern side is lake country, with seasonal camps turned full-time homes tucked under pines along Long Pond. Trees rooted over ledge cannot anchor deep, and whole root plates peel up in high wind. Beech leaf disease is spreading through the understory, and years of spongy moth feeding have left dead oaks along many roads.
Typical work in Freetown
- Removing lakeside pines that lean over camps, docks and septic fields along the Long Pond shore.
- Felling and hauling dead oaks from wooded house lots before they come down on their own.
- Clearing land for new construction, with stumps ground or dug and wood trucked out.
Good to know in Freetown
Long Pond, Assonet Bay and the streams between them are protected, and shoreline cutting usually needs a conversation with the Conservation Commission. Camp roads near the lake are narrow and often private. Roadside trees on town ways are the tree warden's call.

Reviews
From customers on the South Shore
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.
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!
