South Wellfleet is the wooded stretch between Blackfish Creek and the ocean bluffs at Marconi, with cottages and year-round homes spread along sand roads on both sides of Route 6. Newcomb's Tree Service of Cape Cod comes out from the Mid-Cape for removals, pruning, clearing and storm cleanup.

Local conditions
Trees and lots in South Wellfleet
Scrub oak and pitch pine grow short and wind-shaped near the ocean, then taller in the sheltered hollows toward the bay. Lieutenant Island and the Old Wharf Road shore are open, marshy and salt-swept, with red cedar and little else standing tall. Cottage lots near LeCount Hollow are small and thick with pine. The soil is sand over sand. Drought, salt and beetles kill pines in patches, and dead scrub oak piles up as dry fuel beneath them.
Typical work in South Wellfleet
- Cutting out dead pitch pines and dry scrub oak close to cottages, decks and propane tanks to lower fire risk.
- Pruning or removing wind-thrown and salt-killed trees on exposed lots near the marsh, the creek or the bluff.
- Opening up overgrown driveways and sand roads so delivery, septic and emergency vehicles can get in without scraping.
Good to know in South Wellfleet
The ocean side sits within the National Seashore, and marsh along Blackfish Creek and Lieutenant Island is protected, so ask the Wellfleet Conservation Commission before cutting there. The Lieutenant Island road floods at high tide, so work on the island is scheduled around the tide chart.

Reviews
From customers on Cape Cod
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.
Very professional staff, they came and gave us a free estimate. We contracted with them. One week later they returned to perform the work. After completing the work they cleaned the areas as if no work had been done. We couldn’t be happier with them.
