A newer city with first-generation lawns
Pooler is the largest new-build suburb in the Savannah area. According to ACS 2024 5-year estimates, the city has 28,466 residents, about 60% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, and the median home was built in 2007.
Homes that new often still have their first sod, sprinkler system and builder beds, so common requests are replacing sod that never rooted well, sprinkler repair, fresh pine straw and a regular mowing and feeding schedule.
Pooler even has a soil named after it. The NRCS soil survey for Bryan and Chatham Counties maps a series called Pooler, rated poorly drained, and many of the most common soils in that survey are rated poorly or very poorly drained. Heavy rain shows it: Pooler logged 12.05 inches of storm-total rain during Hurricane Matthew in October 2016, according to the National Weather Service in Charleston.

Watering and tree rules in Pooler
Pooler's water comes from the City of Pooler. The city's public notice repeats Georgia's statewide rule — outdoor watering only between 4 p.m. and 10 a.m. — and suggests early-morning or late-evening watering. It does not state a day-of-week schedule like Savannah's odd/even days, so check with your water provider before you set a sprinkler timer.
New sod is a useful exception: under the Georgia Water Stewardship Act, new or replanted turf can be watered at any time during installation and for 30 days afterward.
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.

Pooler lawn care FAQ
Does Pooler follow Savannah's odd/even watering days?
Pooler's own water notice cites only Georgia's statewide window, which allows outdoor watering between 4 p.m. and 10 a.m. It does not list watering days. Because Pooler water customers are served by the City of Pooler rather than Savannah, check with your water provider about any day-of-week schedule before programming a sprinkler controller.
How often can I water new sod in Pooler?
Georgia's Water Stewardship Act exempts new or replanted turf during installation and for 30 days afterward, so new sod can be watered outside the normal 4 p.m. to 10 a.m. window while it roots. After that, most established lawns need about an inch of water a week, counting rain, applied early in the morning.
Do I need permission to remove a tree in Pooler?
Pooler has a tree protection article in its city code, separate from Savannah's ordinance, so rules can differ from what neighbors in Savannah describe. Before removing a large tree, call the City of Pooler and ask what applies to your lot. When you compare quotes, ask the tree company about liability insurance and workers' comp for its crew.
