Richmond Hill and South Bryan: newer homes on wet ground
Richmond Hill sits in Bryan County, just south of Savannah. According to ACS 2024 5-year estimates, the city itself has 18,181 residents, while the wider 31324 ZIP code holds 37,406 people, with about 78% of occupied homes owner-occupied. The median home in both was built in 2007.
Bryan and Chatham share one NRCS soil survey, and Ellabelle, one of its most widespread soils, has its type location in Bryan County. NRCS describes Ellabelle as a deep, very poorly drained soil of Coastal Plain depressions, with the water table at or near the surface for more than five months a year, and strongly acid. In practice that can mean soggy low spots and lawn disease after wet stretches.
During Tropical Storm Debby in August 2024, a gauge half a mile northeast of Richmond Hill recorded 10.05 inches, according to the National Weather Service in Charleston.

Watering and tree rules in Richmond Hill
Water service inside the city comes from City of Richmond Hill Utilities. We did not find a city watering-day schedule, so Georgia's statewide rule applies at minimum: outdoor watering only between 4 p.m. and 10 a.m.. Check with your water provider for any local schedule.
The city's water and sewer rates page lists a separate irrigation rate; confirm the current rate with the city.
In the City of Savannah, trees on city property, including the tree lawn between the sidewalk and the street, are managed by the City. Rules for trees on private lots depend on your property type and whether development is involved. Before removing a large tree, check with the City of Savannah (savannahga.gov) or your county. Unincorporated Chatham County, Pooler and Richmond Hill have their own rules.

Richmond Hill lawn care FAQ
Is there a watering schedule in Richmond Hill?
We did not find a Richmond Hill watering-day schedule like Savannah's odd/even system. Georgia's statewide rule still applies: outdoor watering only between 4 p.m. and 10 a.m., with exemptions such as new turf for 30 days and drip irrigation. Check with City of Richmond Hill Utilities, or your provider outside the city, for any local rule.
Why does my Richmond Hill yard stay soggy after rain?
Many Bryan County soils are rated poorly or very poorly drained, and Ellabelle soils can hold a water table near the surface for months. Standing water favors dollarweed and large patch. UGA advises correcting drainage and watering less often before relying on chemicals, so ask companies whether they offer grading, aeration or drainage work.
Can I get quotes outside the Richmond Hill city limits?
Yes. You can request quotes for homes anywhere in the 31324 ZIP code and the rest of South Bryan County. We pass your request to independent local companies that work in the area, and each company decides whether it can take the job. Rules for trees and water may differ outside the city.
