"I was searching for a tree trimming company with a trained/certified arborist and hit the jackpot. Elbert Holt, who was the company rep in our city was very forthcoming in evaluating my 100 year old oak. It lost some limbs via the 120+ mph winds during the derecho we had in Cedar Rapids, IA on Aug 10, 2020. I wanted to see if it would be harmed by pruning (months before the normal winter pruning season). Elbert reassured me that it would okay to clean up the few broken limbs to provide clean cuts to increase the likelihood it will survive this stressful experience. Their team of climbers did a great job of cleaning up my tree. Their skill and work ethic was fantastic to witness. They also did a huge project at my sisters house to remove limbs from the roof of her house and cutting down 4 trees : one of which was a large diameter (~ 56 in ) silver maple that was growing in between 2 houses. I was skeptical about this company since they were not â localâ . I received great personal reviews from others in town who used their services."

"I could not have been more pleased with the workers and Taylor who efficiently kept everything on track. The work was done to my complete satisfaction. I was especially impressed with the workers diligence in performing the job quickly without sacrificing perfection. My tree was very tall, but the guy effectively worked like he was only a few feet off the ground. Ayla Tree Service exceeded my expectations and I thought the cost was certainly reasonable. I will use their service again, as a matter of fact, I have a 30ft. Oak that will need pruning soon."

"Highly recommended Rick's tree service. Rick removed several trees that were cracked or leaning after hurricane Helene. He also cut down a monster of a tree that was located in a very difficult spot between two sheds. Rick's crew did an excellent job cleaning up, even removed post hurricane debris that I was dreading. This was the second time Rick has cut down trees for me. This company does not disappoint."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

In Savannah, homeowners should plan tree service with the local climate and storm risks in mind. Scheduling work before hurricane season and during the dormant winter months can minimize stress on trees. Pay special attention to heritage live oaks and trees affected by salt spray or Spanish moss. Consulting with the City of Savannah's Urban Forestry Division can provide guidance on best practices for local tree care.

Helpful?

When arranging tree service in Savannah, ensure the crew follows OSHA safety standards, uses proper protective gear, and inspects all equipment before work begins. Homeowners should clear the area, secure pets indoors, and notify neighbors if large equipment will be used. Before starting, check for overhead power lines and communicate with the utility company if needed, as recommended by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.

Helpful?

In Savannah, most tree removal projects require a permit if the tree is over 6 inches in diameter, and special approval is needed for heritage trees larger than 24 inches. If the tree is on city property or in a public right-of-way, a separate permit is required. For accurate requirements, homeowners should consult the City of Savannah Development Services and the Savannah Tree Ordinance before beginning any tree service.

Helpful?

In Savannah, homeowners may encounter extra costs during tree service for items like stump grinding, debris hauling, or special equipment if access is limited. Permit processing fees or requirements for additional inspections can also arise, especially for heritage trees. To avoid surprises, ask your contractor about possible contingencies and review guidelines from the City of Savannah Development Services before work begins.

Helpful?

For tree service in Savannah, it's important to use professional-grade chainsaws, rigging gear, and safety equipment that meet industry standards. Sourcing materials from reputable local suppliers or established home improvement stores helps ensure quality and availability. When hiring a contractor, confirm they use equipment suited for the region's climate and tree species, and that their safety gear complies with OSHA and local regulations.
