Savannah

Savannah is the heart of Chatham County and one of the great tree cities of the American South. Its 22 historic squares, the Landmark and Victorian districts, and grand corridors like Victory Drive and Bull Street are shaded by some of the most magnificent southern live oaks anywhere — wide-canopied trees draped in Spanish moss, many of them a century or more old, with sprawling horizontal limbs that demand skilled, careful handling. These trees are Savannah's crown jewels, and a great many are protected, exceptional, or historic under city ordinance. They deserve crews who understand their structure and biology, and who understand the permit process, not just a chainsaw and a chipper.

Neighborhoods vary widely in their tree needs. Ardsley Park, the Victorian District, and Midtown hold mature water oaks and laurel oaks that accumulate deadwood and need periodic structural care. Newer Southside and infill development brings younger trees in the critical window where structural pruning now determines how they behave in storms decades from now. And Savannah has felt real storm damage — Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Irma in 2017 both dropped old trees across the city. We have direct experience working Savannah's neighborhoods and the specific challenges each one presents.

Pooler

Pooler is one of the fastest-growing communities in the Savannah metro, expanding rapidly along the I-16 corridor west of the city and near the airport. Much of that growth is newer single-family subdivisions where the trees are young — many just entering the 5-to-10-year window when proper structural pruning pays the biggest dividends. Pooler also sits near the industrial and logistics boom feeding the Port of Savannah and the Hyundai Metaplant, which keeps both residential and commercial tree work steady.

Young trees pruned correctly develop strong, well-spaced branch architecture that holds up in storms for decades; young trees left alone or topped tend to develop co-dominant stems and included bark that get riskier and more expensive as they grow. If you're in a newer Pooler neighborhood, structural pruning now is one of the smartest tree decisions you can make.

Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill, just across the Ogeechee River in Bryan County, has been one of the fastest-growing communities in all of Georgia — driven by the Hyundai Metaplant, Port-related jobs, and highly rated schools. That growth means a constant mix of new-construction tree work (lot clearing, young-tree care) and established-neighborhood trimming and removal. Properties here range from wooded subdivisions with mature pines and oaks to newer developments still filling in.

Richmond Hill's inland-of-the-barrier-islands location doesn't spare it from coastal storms — any system that tracks up the Georgia coast reaches it. Pre-storm prep on the larger oaks and removal of declining pines are the priorities we see most often here.

Garden City

Garden City sits just northwest of downtown Savannah, wrapped around the Port of Savannah's Garden City Terminal — the busiest single container terminal in the country. It's a working community with a mix of established residential neighborhoods, industrial corridors, and commercial property. Trees here range from mature oaks and pines on older residential lots to buffer plantings around industrial sites.

We serve both residential and commercial customers throughout Garden City, and we can handle the larger-scale removal and clearing jobs that come with commercial and port-adjacent properties.

Wilmington Island

Wilmington Island lies about 11 miles east of downtown Savannah, a sought-after residential community of roughly 15,000 residents known for its schools, well-planned subdivisions, and marsh-front lots. The island setting means many properties sit close to tidal marsh and the Wilmington River, with the salt air, wind exposure, and high water table that come with living on the water's edge.

Big live oaks are a defining feature of Wilmington Island's residential streets, and mature pines are common on the wooded lots. Both need periodic care to stay healthy and storm-resistant, and the marsh-adjacent, salt-exposed conditions make professional assessment especially worthwhile. Pre-hurricane-season maintenance is a smart investment here, where large trees near homes are the primary storm risk.

Tybee Island

Tybee Island is Savannah's beach — a barrier island roughly a half hour east of downtown, at the mouth of the Savannah River. Properties here face a genuinely demanding environment: full Atlantic exposure, constant salt-laden wind, sandy soil, and direct hurricane-track vulnerability. Trees on Tybee take a beating that mainland properties simply don't experience, and the island's heavy short-term-rental market means a lot of property owners managing trees from a distance.

Hurricane Irma flooded Tybee badly in 2017, and the island regularly feels the wind and surge from systems tracking up the coast. A post-storm professional assessment is worthwhile for any island property that hasn't had one recently — root systems shift, trunks bend and partially recover, and canopies lose wood in ways that aren't always obvious from the ground. We work on Tybee and understand the salt-air, sandy-soil, and equipment-access considerations unique to barrier-island tree care.

Chatham County (Unincorporated & Surrounding Communities)

Beyond the cities above, we serve residential and commercial properties throughout unincorporated Chatham County — including Georgetown, Sandfly, Isle of Hope, Skidaway Island, and the communities along the coastal marshes and the Ogeechee. These areas tend to have more trees per lot than the urban Savannah neighborhoods, with mature live oaks, pines, bald cypress near the water, and larger properties where several significant trees are part of the landscape.

Chatham County has its own land-disturbance ordinance that treats exceptional trees as public landmarks, so we help property owners understand what applies before any removal on wooded or larger lots.
