Know before the storm does

The worst time to learn a tree was failing is when it is already on your roof. A professional assessment looks at structure, health, root condition, and lean, then weighs that against what the tree could hit.

You get a clear, honest read: keep it, prune it, cable it, or remove it. No upselling, no fear tactics. Just what we would do if it were our own property.

What we look at

Lean, trunk cracks, and weak branch unions
Decay, cavities, and fungal signs
Root health and soil conditions
Storm and wind exposure
What the tree would hit if it failed

How it works

On-site inspection

We walk your property and examine each tree for lean, decay, cracks, and root issues.

Clear written findings

You get a straightforward report on which trees are sound, which need work, and which are hazards.

Honest recommendations

We tell you what actually needs doing — pruning, cabling, or removal — with no upselling.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My first quote from a local company was $1900.00 to basically just trim my trees. Loyalty trimmed same trees and pulled about 15 large bushes I wanted gone for $1250.00.
Michael even stayed till nearly midnight fixing a pipe that had roots wrapped around it.

Good small business I would definitely recommend!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Well… our well ran dry. 😳

As in, “turn on the faucet and absolutely nothing happens” dry. 😂 No water, no warning, and apparently Mother Nature decided we needed a new adventure.

We had very limited options for where we could put a new well, and naturally, the ONE spot that would work had trees in the way. Because why would anything about this process be easy? 😂

We were already stressed, frustrated, and trying to figure out how in the world we were going to make all of this happen. Let’s be real—nobody has a spare pile of money sitting around waiting for their well to quit working. Especially these days!

So we started asking some friends out here in the country who they would recommend for tree work. They told us about Mike with Loyal Tree.

Y’all… within HOURS, Mike showed up.

A friend of his called and told him that he had friends without water who needed some trees removed, and Mike dropped what he was doing and came to help.

Now THAT is the kind of thing you don’t forget.

Mike was kind, caring, compassionate, and just genuinely wanted to help us. He didn’t treat us like just another job or another paycheck. He saw that we were in a bind and showed up.

And honestly, when you’re already stressed enough to cry, sometimes all you can do is laugh. 😂 Because stressing, crying, and staring at the empty faucet aren’t going to magically make the water come back!

God definitely put the right people in our path at the right time.

There aren’t a lot of businesses left where you feel like you’re dealing with good old-fashioned folks who actually care about helping people instead of just making a buck. Mike reminded us that those people are still out there.

Once we get this whole well situation figured out and everything is put back together, Loyal Tree will absolutely be getting another call from us.

Mike has earned our business, our gratitude, and a whole lot of appreciation from our family.

If you need tree work done, give Loyal Tree a call. Good people, good work, and the kind of service that reminds you there are still folks out there who will stop what they’re doing to lend a hand. ❤️🌳

Thank you, Mike, for helping us out when we were really in a bind. We appreciate you more than you know!

Now… if anybody knows how to convince our well to start cooperating, we’re taking suggestions. 😂💧🙏

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We could not be more impressed with this tree company! From start to finish, they were an absolute pleasure to work with. Communication was excellent, they arrived right on time, and they delivered exactly what we asked for. They even went above and beyond by removing and cleaning up some old, large stumps we had.

As a bird enthusiast, I was especially touched by the care and respect they showed around the large natural nesting area on our property. They took the extra time and had incredible patience while carefully working around the nests and eggs, making sure the birds and their habitat remained safe and undisturbed. This was incredibly meaningful to me, and I cannot express how appreciative I am of their thoughtfulness and compassion.

The area was extremely difficult to access, but they handled everything with incredible skill and professionalism. They left the property clean and tidy, and the results exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend them!

Frequently asked questions

What actually happens during a tree risk assessment?

We walk the tree and its surroundings and look at the whole picture: root flare and soil condition at the base, the trunk for cracks, cavities and decay, the union where major stems meet, the canopy for deadwood and previous damage, and what is underneath it that would get hit if it failed. Then you get a straight answer on what the tree is likely to do and what your options are.

Do I really need an assessment, or can you just look at it?

For one obviously dead tree, you do not need a formal assessment, just a quote. It is worth doing when you have several mature trees over a house, you have just bought a property and do not know its history, a storm has been through and you want to know what is now compromised, or an insurer or HOA is asking questions. The assessment is free either way.

What if you look at it and the tree is fine?

Then we tell you it is fine and you owe us nothing. We would rather give you an honest no than sell you a removal you did not need, because in a county this size the referral is worth far more to us than one job. Plenty of our visits end with leave it alone and check it again in a couple of years.

Can you assess trees before I buy a property?

Yes, and it is money well spent on a wooded lot. Mature trees over a house are a real liability that does not show up on a standard home inspection, and finding out about three dying pines over the roof before closing is a very different conversation than finding out after. We can walk it with you or your agent.

Do I get anything in writing?

Yes. You get a written summary of what we found and what we recommend, which is usually what an insurance adjuster, an HOA or an attorney is actually asking for. If a tree needs work we quote it in the same document so you are not waiting on a second visit.

How often should mature trees be checked?

Every three to five years for healthy mature trees, and after any significant storm regardless of when you last looked. Trees change slowly and then all at once. The failures we get called out to almost always had visible warning signs for a year or more before anybody noticed them.

What areas do you assess?

All of Effingham County from our base in Guyton, plus Bryan County and Richmond Hill, Pooler, Savannah and the South Carolina Lowcountry. Call (912) 342-0440 to set a time.
