## The honest read

A 70-foot oak taken down from the front of a house and over it: a 2021 Google customer thanked Holcomb Tree for that removal and said the crew arrived early. The company says it has provided tree care for over 75 years, and a wfsb.com report describes Holcomb Tree Service as based in Plainville. Its Better Business Bureau grade is A+, and it holds a 5-star Google rating from 14 ratings.

A 2022 customer said Tim was a pleasure to deal with and that the company did some heavy pruning with a thorough, efficient cleanup. A 2022 reviewer said the company did an assessment on the spot while working on a neighbor's tree, then came back 2 days later to trim a large tree that overhung a kids' playscape. A 2024 customer said a fairly big job was completed in two days and that they were kept in the loop during the entire process. A 2025 reviewer described fast, professional service and cleanup. A 2026 customer praised the work of Tim and his crew.

**Strengths:**
- Large oak removal — a 2021 customer described a 70-foot oak taken over the house
- Heavy pruning — a 2022 customer said the cleanup was thorough
- A two-day job — a 2024 customer said a fairly big job took two days
