TREE SERVICE IN TYBEE ISLAND:
WHAT WE SEE LOCALLY
Out on Tybee, wind does most of the pruning before anyone else gets there. Trees on the island grow leaning away from the ocean, and constant salt spray thins canopies and kills back the seaward side, so a crown can look lopsided without anything actually being wrong with it. Sandy soil drains fast but holds roots loosely, which is why a tall tree that looks fine in July can lay over in a tropical system. Cabbage palms hang onto dead fronds until wind takes them. Cedars and pines this close to the water carry a lot of dead interior wood, and they tend to shed it in the first real blow of the season. Late summer through October is when island trees get tested.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What does tree removal cost in the Savannah area?
Every tree is its own situation. Height and species matter, so does condition — a sound tree and a hollow one of the same size are not the same job. How close it stands to a house, a fence or a driveway counts heavily, and so does access, since a backyard reached through a narrow gate means everything is handled by hand. The quickest path is a photo and a phone call — (912) 455-5073 — showing the tree and what surrounds it.
When is the best time of year to trim trees in coastal Georgia?
Late fall through February is ideal for hardwoods. The trees are dormant, structure is visible without leaves, and cuts close before spring growth pushes. The other timing that matters here is hurricane season: thinning heavy canopies and clearing deadwood before June reduces what wind has to grab from June through November. Palms are usually left alone until fronds are fully brown. Hazard trees and storm damage do not wait for a season, and a tree that is already failing rarely improves by being left another winter.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Savannah?
Sometimes, and it depends where you are. The City of Savannah regulates certain tree removals on private property, and expectations are stricter inside the historic districts. Unincorporated Chatham County, Pooler, Tybee Island and Richmond Hill each handle it their own way, and the rules get revised from time to time. Dead or clearly hazardous trees are generally treated differently from healthy ones, though that is not automatic. Check with the office that covers your address before a removal is scheduled.
How do I know if a tree on my property is dangerous?
Start at the base. Mushrooms or shelf fungus on the trunk or root flare, soft or hollow wood, and soil heaving on one side after a storm are all serious signs. Higher up, watch for a canopy thinning on one side, large dead limbs over the roof, or a crack running down the trunk. On pines, needles turning red-brown out of season usually means beetles, and that tree will not come back.
Do you handle storm damage and emergency tree removal?
Yes — storm damage is a regular part of the work from June through November: trees on roofs, limbs across driveways, split trunks hanging over a house. Anything involving downed electrical service is a call to your utility first, not to us, and nobody should be standing under a hanging limb in the meantime. Photograph the damage before anything is moved, since your insurer will ask. Then reach us at (912) 455-5073, describe what happened and how the property sits, and we can take it from there.
