Norton mixes college-town streets, lakeside neighborhoods and a lot of low, wet woodland. Newcomb's Tree Service travels from Halifax to take down hazard trees, clear lots, grind stumps and prune around homes across this Bristol County town.

Local conditions
Trees and lots in Norton
Water shapes the tree cover. The Norton Reservoir, Winnecunnet Pond, the Rumford and Wading rivers and wide red maple swamps leave much of the town with a high water table. Roots stay shallow in that ground, and tall white pines and oaks go over with the root plate intact when soil is saturated and the wind picks up. Subdivisions carved out of woods in recent decades have aging edge trees. Emerald ash borer has killed ash along many wet road edges.
Typical work in Norton
- Removing shallow-rooted pines and oaks leaning toward houses on wet, soft ground near ponds and swamps.
- Taking down dead ash before the brittle wood makes the tree unsafe to climb or rig.
- Clearing house lots and grinding stumps for additions, pools, sheds and replacement septic systems.
Good to know in Norton
With so much wetland, a quick check with the Conservation Commission is wise before cutting near the Reservoir, Winnecunnet Pond or any stream. Soft ground can limit where heavy trucks set up, so we look at access and may schedule for dry or frozen conditions.

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.
