From the old captains' houses on Route 28 to the cottages by the Sound, West Harwich mixes large old shade trees with small shorefront lots. Newcomb's Tree Service of Cape Cod serves the village from its Mid-Cape base with removals, pruning and storm work.

Local conditions
Trees and lots in West Harwich
The Herring River defines this village. Its marshes run north toward Bells Neck, and the homes along Riverside Drive look out over them through oak, cedar and pitch pine. On Route 28, older houses sit behind mature maples and oaks that have outgrown their front yards and now hang over the road and wires. South of Lower County Road the lots shrink and the salt wind picks up. Harwich soil is sandy throughout, so older trees often carry dead tops after dry years.
Typical work in West Harwich
- Crown reduction and deadwood pruning on mature shade trees in front of older homes along Route 28.
- Removing wind-thrown or salt-damaged pines and cedars on small lots near Pleasant Road and Earle Road beaches.
- Clearing overgrown brush and volunteer trees along a back property line without disturbing the marsh edge.
Good to know in West Harwich
The Herring River marsh is a protected resource area, and work within its buffer usually goes to the Conservation Commission first. Street trees along Route 28 and other public ways fall under the tree warden. Utility crews, not private contractors, handle limbs on primary power lines.

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.
