Stump Grinding and Removal in Cumming, GA

Out of Sight, Out of the Way, and Done Right - LS Trees Has You Covered

That old stump in your yard may seem harmless, but beneath the surface, it’s causing more problems than you think. From attracting pests to making mowing difficult, stumps are more than just an eyesore. They can become hazards.

At LS Trees, we provide professional stump grinding and removal services in Cumming, GA and throughout North Georgia. Whether you just had a tree removed, purchased a property with leftover stumps, or want to clean up your yard before spring or the holidays, we’ll help you reclaim your space safely and affordably.

Why Stump Grinding Matters

Leaving a stump behind might seem like a cost-saving choice at first, but in reality, it can lead to more expenses and headaches later. Here’s why homeowners and businesses across Cumming and Forsyth County choose professional stump grinding:

1️⃣ Prevent Pests and Infestations

Old stumps are magnets for unwanted visitors like termites, ants, beetles, and carpenter bees. Once they settle into rotting wood, it’s only a matter of time before they migrate to your healthy trees, or worse, your home.

2️⃣ Improve Curb Appeal

A clean, level yard instantly makes your property look more polished and well-maintained. Removing stumps before you mulch, plant, or landscape helps create that picture-perfect finish.

3️⃣ Avoid Trip Hazards

Stumps and surface roots are dangerous obstacles for kids, pets, and lawn equipment. Grinding them below ground level eliminates tripping risks and creates a smooth, safe surface.

4️⃣ Stop Regrowth

Even after a tree is removed, some stumps can sprout new shoots, creating multiple small trees you’ll have to fight off later. Grinding prevents regrowth permanently.

5️⃣ Prepare for Future Projects

Planning to install a fence, build a patio, or plant a new tree? Stump grinding clears the way, making your yard ready for whatever comes next.

Our Stump Grinding Process

At LS Trees, we combine experience, precision, and top-grade equipment to make stump removal quick and mess-free.

1️⃣ On-Site Assessment
We inspect the stump’s size, age, and root structure to determine the best grinding approach.

2️⃣ Safety Preparation
Our crew marks underground utilities (we always call 811 before digging!) and sets up protective barriers to keep debris contained.

3️⃣ Grinding
Using our specialized stump grinder, we chip the stump down below the soil surface, typically 4–12 inches deep, depending on your needs.

4️⃣ Cleanup and Finishing Touches
We remove wood chips or spread them evenly as natural mulch. The area is leveled and ready for seeding, planting, or landscaping.

💡 Pro Tip: Ask about our same-day stump grinding option when booking your tree removal. It’s faster, cleaner, and saves you money by combining both services.

🌿 What’s the Difference Between Stump Grinding and Removal?

We’re often asked, “What’s the difference between grinding and full removal?”

  • Stump Grinding: The stump is ground below the soil line, leaving the roots to decay naturally over time. It’s faster, more affordable, and minimally disruptive to your yard.

  • Full Removal: The stump and entire root system are excavated. This option is best if you’re regrading the property, building, or planting a new tree in the same spot.

Our experts will help you decide which option fits your property goals and budget.

🪵 What Happens to the Wood Chips?

Once your stump is ground, you’re left with a mound of rich wood chips, and you’ve got options.
You can:

  • Keep them as free natural mulch for flower beds and garden areas.

  • Use them for erosion control or composting.

  • Have us haul them away for easy cleanup.

We’re proud to recycle what we remove, keeping our community green, clean, and sustainable.

🌧️ Seasonal Note: Fall and Winter Are Ideal for Stump Grinding

Did you know fall and winter are some of the best seasons for stump grinding in North Georgia?
Cooler temperatures mean the ground is firm, the soil is easier to work with, and your yard will be ready for fresh landscaping by spring.

So before the holidays or heavy winter rains arrive, schedule your stump grinding service. It’s a great way to clean up your property before family gatherings or seasonal storms.
