HOA standards in The Landings
If your home is in The Landings, The Landings Association says it is responsible for architectural review and covenants. Before you change plant beds, remove a tree, add a patio or switch grass types, read the association's current guidelines and tell each company what they require.
Walls, decks, pergolas and other structures over $2,500 may need a Georgia residential contractor license or a permit — ask before you sign.
Soil, water and storms on the island
Native coastal soils here are strongly acidic, so a soil test is the honest first step before lime or fertilizer; UGA notes centipede prefers a pH of about 5.0 to 6.0.
Storms matter here too. During Hurricane Matthew in October 2016, a National Weather Service report 1 mile east-northeast of Skidaway Island logged 12.97 inches of rain. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30; deadwood is easiest to deal with before the August–October peak.
Skidaway Island is a census-designated place rather than a city, so your water provider depends on your address; county water customers follow the three-day schedule in the FAQ below (Chatham County Public Works, 912-652-6840). Otherwise, check with your water provider.

Before you remove a 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. On Skidaway Island, also check your HOA's rules. Georgia has no arborist license; ask about ISA certification (a private credential; verify at isa-arbor.com), liability insurance and workers' comp for the crew. This is general information, not legal advice.
Skidaway Island lawn care FAQ
Do I need HOA approval for landscaping in The Landings?
The Landings Association says it is responsible for architectural review and covenants, so check its current guidelines before you remove a tree, redo beds, add hardscape or change grass types. Share any requirements with the companies quoting the job so every quote covers the same scope, and keep approval paperwork with your signed contract.
What days can I water my lawn on Skidaway Island?
It depends on your water provider. Unincorporated Chatham County water customers follow the same schedule as Savannah: no watering from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., none on Fridays, even and unnumbered addresses on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, odd addresses on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. If you are on another system, check with your water provider.
