At the western mouth of the Cape Cod Canal, Gray Gables is a small shore colony once known for President Grover Cleveland's summer home. Newcomb's Tree Service of Cape Cod reaches this Bourne village from its Mid-Cape base for tree removal, trimming, stump grinding and storm damage work.

Local conditions
Trees and lots in Gray Gables
Exposure is the story here. Open water lies to the west and the canal current runs along the north side, so wind arrives with little to slow it. Pitch pines on the point grow flat-topped and one-sided. Red cedar, black cherry and bayberry fill the edges, with oaks on the more sheltered streets inland. The marshes of the Back River border the village to the south. Trees that lose a neighbor to a storm or to clearing often fail in the next gale because they are suddenly unprotected.
Typical work in Gray Gables
- Removing wind-damaged pitch pines and split cedars from shorefront yards facing Buzzards Bay and the canal.
- Reducing end weight on exposed oak limbs so they hold up better in the next nor'easter.
- Hauling storm debris and brush from seasonal homes before owners return for the summer.
Good to know in Gray Gables
Much of the village borders salt marsh, coastal bank or beach, so tree removal near the Back River or the shore may need a Conservation Commission filing. Roads such as Presidents Road are narrow with limited turnaround space. Roadside trees may be public shade trees.

Reviews
From customers on Cape Cod
The crew arrived promptly at 8 am. Tree and large limb on another tree were removed, yard was cleaned as if the removal never happened, and they were gone by 10 am. Great job.
Isaiah is a young professional who’s already proven himself. He was quick to respond, worked hard, and left everything clean. I’d gladly hire him again.
Isaiah and his crew from Newcomb’s Tree Service of Cape Cod were outstanding. After the major storm this winter left me with significant tree damage, they stepped in and handled everything with true professionalism. They arrived right on time, worked efficiently, offered a great price, and left the property spotless.
