02Approach
Trusted tree service in coastal Georgia — built to read trees before we drop them.
Steve started logging straight out of high school in 1981. After 16+ years on full-size timber, he spun off into dedicated tree service — and has spent the decades since taking trees down safely around houses, sheds, fences, and power lines across Effingham County, the Savannah metro, and Bryan County.
That background is the reason we read every tree the same way: where it wants to go, what it'll do on the way down, and how to leave your yard cleaner than we found it.

04Common questions
Tree service FAQ — answers before you call.
01How much does tree removal cost in Effingham County, Savannah, or Bryan County?
How much does tree removal cost in Effingham County, Savannah, or Bryan County?
Tree removal pricing depends on height, lean, proximity to structures, and access — but most residential trees across Effingham County, the Savannah metro, and Bryan County land between a few hundred dollars for a small tree and the low thousands for a large hardwood near a house. We give every customer a free, no-pressure estimate.
02Do you take down dangerous or leaning trees?
Do you take down dangerous or leaning trees?
Yes — leaning trees, dead trees, and storm-damaged trees are exactly the work we specialize in. With 45 years of saw experience and proper rigging, we drop trees safely even when they're close to houses, sheds, fences, or power lines. We handle hurricane and storm-cleanup calls as a priority.
03Do you handle the cleanup after a tree comes down?
Do you handle the cleanup after a tree comes down?
Always. Cleanup of all limbs, brush, and debris is included in every quote unless you specifically ask us to leave the wood. We haul it off-site so your yard is ready to walk on the same day.
04What's the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
What's the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Stump grinding takes the stump 6–10 inches below grade so you can plant grass, lay sod, or pour concrete over it — and that's what most homeowners want. Full stump excavation (digging out the whole root ball) is more invasive and almost never necessary unless you're putting in a structural footing.
