Watering and tree rules in Rincon
We could not confirm Rincon's water provider on an official page, so check with your water provider for any local watering days. Georgia's statewide rule applies to anyone on a permitted public water system: outdoor watering only between 4 p.m. and 10 a.m. Private wells and new landscapes (for 30 days after installation) are exempt.
For trees, Rincon and Effingham County set their own rules. Ask the City of Rincon, or Effingham County if you live outside the city limits, before removing a large tree.
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.

Rincon lawn care FAQ
Does Rincon follow Savannah's watering schedule?
We have not confirmed a Rincon watering-day schedule. Georgia's statewide rule applies to anyone on a permitted public water system: outdoor watering only between 4 p.m. and 10 a.m. Savannah's odd/even, no-Friday schedule comes from the City of Savannah's own permit, so check with your water provider before assuming it applies in Rincon.
When should I put down pre-emergent in Rincon?
UGA guidance for south Georgia is to apply pre-emergent before soil temperatures reach 55 °F, roughly February 15 to March 15. On the coast, aim for mid-February. Soil temperatures for nearby stations are posted at georgiaweather.net. Any company applying weed control for a fee needs a Georgia Pesticide Contractor License, so ask for the number.
