Humarock is a barrier beach between the South River and the open Atlantic, so tree work here is mostly about wind, salt and tight lots. Newcomb's Tree Service comes over from Halifax to handle removals, storm cleanup and pruning on this Scituate peninsula.

Local conditions
Trees and lots in Humarock
Few places on the South Shore are harder on trees. Sand, salt spray and constant wind keep most growth low, and what survives is eastern red cedar, pitch pine, black cherry and scrubby oak, plus the Norway maples people planted for shade. Cottages sit close together along Central Avenue with wires overhead and little yard to work in. Storm surge leaves salt in the root zone, and trees that looked fine in fall can brown out and die by the next summer.
Typical work in Humarock
- Removing salt-killed or wind-thrown trees wedged between cottages, decks and fences on narrow beach lots.
- Emergency cleanup after a nor'easter, when broken tops and uprooted trees block driveways or rest on roofs.
- Cutting back overgrown cedars and cherries to reduce wind load and clear rooflines and service wires.
Good to know in Humarock
You reach Humarock by bridge from Marshfield, so we plan equipment size and timing ahead. Nearly every lot sits near the beach, the dunes or the South River marsh, and cutting there can fall under Conservation Commission review. Ask before you clear.

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!
