Newcomb's Tree Service, LLC

Newcomb's Tree Service has been taking down trees on the South Shore since 2000 — twenty-six years, by both its own account and the Better Business Bureau's record — and it is built for the heavy end of the work: two cranes, a bucket truck, trained climbers, stump grinders, and a tub grinder it also rents out. It runs from 350 Industrial Drive in Halifax with nine employees under general manager Kenny Mitchell, which makes it a crew business rather than a one-truck operation. Alongside removal, trimming and pruning it does Title V tree removal for septic work, land and lot clearing, wood-waste recycling, trucking, and sells mulch and firewood wholesale and retail. Its stated coverage runs across the South Shore, from Abington, Brockton and Easton down through Kingston, Lakeville and Halifax itself. Its BBB profile carries an A+ and publishes no complaints. Worth knowing what that is and isn't: the A+ is the bureau's own grade, and the same page states the business is not BBB accredited, even though the company's website lists BBB among its associations. That is a common mix-up between membership and accreditation rather than a red flag, but it is a fair thing to ask about. The company also lists membership in the Tree Care Industry Association and a Certified Tree Care Safety Professional credential — meaningful in a trade where safety practice is the difference between a clean drop and a wrecked roof, though these are the company's own statements. What is missing is the customer voice. No reviews were gathered from any platform and no one has been found discussing the company in the open, so nothing here tells you how a specific job went, and no rating would be honest. A sensible call for large or awkward removals where crane access matters, and for storm work given the 24-hour service. Ask for a certificate of insurance naming your property, confirm who the working arborist on your job will be, and get the stump grinding and debris haul-away priced in writing rather than assumed.
