Highline Arborists
Our Services
Pruning & Crown Work
- Crown thinning, crown raising, crown reduction, deadwood removal
- Structural pruning for young trees, restoration pruning for neglected trees
- Every cut made to ISA best practices — no topping, no lion-tailing, no flush cuts
We prune for the tree's future, not just its present appearance. Every cut considers structure, health, and the next fifty years of growth.
Tree Removal
- Safe removal of dead, dying, dangerous, and unwanted trees
- Technical removals in tight residential spaces using rigging and crane
- We always ask first: can this tree be saved? Removal is the last option.
Our removal process is methodical and controlled — rigging systems for tight spaces, crane capability for the largest trees, and always a plan before the first cut.
Stump Grinding
- Complete stump removal to 6–12 inches below grade
- Surface root grinding for trip hazards and landscape restoration
- Backfill and restoration of the area — ready for replanting or new lawn
Storm Damage & Emergency
- 24/7 emergency response for storm-damaged trees
- Hazard assessment, emergency pruning, complete removal when necessary
- Coordination with utility companies for power line conflicts
- Insurance documentation support
When the storm passes, we're already on the way. Savannah's hurricane seasons have taught us to be ready — and to respond fast.
Tree Planting & Transplanting
- Species selection for the Savannah climate and your specific site conditions
- Proper planting depth, root flare exposure, mulching
- Large-tree transplanting with tree spade
- Establishment care programs for newly planted trees
A tree planted today may shade this property for two hundred years. We select species that belong here, plant them correctly, and help them establish.
Tree Health Assessment
- ISA-certified arborist inspections
- Disease and pest identification — live oak decline, boring insects, fungal issues
- Soil analysis and root zone assessment
- Treatment recommendations — fertilization, fungicide, insecticide when appropriate
- Risk assessment for mature and declining trees
Consulting & Planning
- Tree preservation plans for construction sites
- Arborist reports for permitting and development
- Heritage and protected tree consulting — Savannah's tree ordinance expertise
- Long-term tree management plans for estates and HOAs
Savannah's tree ordinance protects its canopy. We navigate the permitting process, write the arborist reports, and ensure the trees that make this city extraordinary are preserved.
