Whitman packs a lot of houses into a small footprint, and most trees here stand within reach of a roof, a fence or a wire. Newcomb's Tree Service drives up from Halifax to handle those close-quarters removals and pruning jobs safely.

Local conditions
Trees and lots in Whitman
This is a compact, built-out town. House lots near the center and around Whitman Park are narrow, with mature Norway maple, red maple and oak that went in when the shoe factories were running. Many of those trees are past their prime, with hollow trunks, girdling roots and deadwood over driveways. Backyards are fenced and often reachable only through a gate. Low ground along the Shumatuscacant River and Hobart Pond stays damp. Winter moth and age have worn down the old maples.
Typical work in Whitman
- Dismantling overmature maples in small backyards, lowering each piece by rope to protect fences and sheds.
- Crane picks from the street when a backyard tree cannot be reached any other way.
- Gate-access stump grinding with the compact machine, keeping lawns, walkways and garden beds intact.
Good to know in Whitman
Many of the big trees along the streets grow in the tree lawn and are public shade trees, so call the tree warden about those. Expect overhead wires on nearly every job. We may need a short stretch of street parking kept clear for the trucks.

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!
