Georgia storms take trees down fast, and the stump left behind is usually the last thing on anyone's mind until the yard needs to get back to normal. A&L Stump Grinding handles the stump removal side of storm cleanup and fallen tree situations across the Atlanta metro — often the same week you call, sometimes the same day.
Storm-damaged and fallen tree stumps aren't always straightforward. A tree that snapped or was uprooted can leave a stump with torn, exposed roots at odd angles, sometimes still partially attached to a root ball that's been pulled halfway out of the ground. We assess what's actually there before quoting rather than guessing over the phone, and our tracked equipment can maneuver around downed limbs and debris that larger machines couldn't get close to.
Response time matters here more than with routine stump grinding. One customer called on a Saturday at noon and had Jay at the house within the hour; another needed a stump ground with only day-of notice because it was holding up construction on a home addition. We keep our schedule flexible enough to move fast when a stump is actually in the way of something.
This page covers our two most-requested storm and fallen-tree services, Storm Damage Stump Removal and Fallen Tree Stump Grinding, each detailed on its own page. Dead Tree Stump Removal, Multiple Storm-Damaged Stump Cleanup, and Emergency Stump Grinding are covered in the sections below. We serve Atlanta, Marietta, Sandy Springs, South Fulton, Roswell, College Park, Dunwoody, and the surrounding communities.

Should You Remove a Dead Tree Stump Even If It's Not in the Way?
It's worth removing even if it isn't currently blocking anything. A dead stump left in the ground continues to decay, which can attract termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-boring pests that don't necessarily stay confined to the stump — they can move on to nearby structures, fences, or healthy trees.
Dead stumps also become increasingly fragile and unstable over time, developing hollow sections that can crumble or shift underfoot, which is a real trip hazard in a yard kids or pets use regularly.
If you've got an old dead stump you've been meaning to deal with, grinding it now while it's straightforward is usually easier and cheaper than waiting until it's fully rotted and creates a bigger mess to clean up.
What If a Storm Took Down Several Trees at Once?
It happens more often than you'd think in a hard storm — several trees down across a property, sometimes tangled with fencing, sheds, or each other. We handle multiple storm-damaged stumps in a single visit, working through the property systematically and pricing the whole job together rather than stump by stump.
Storm sites often have more debris and less clear access than a routine grinding job, so we walk the property first to plan a safe path for the equipment around downed limbs, damaged fencing, or unstable ground before starting.
If your property took multiple trees in a storm, one call covers the whole cleanup — you don't need to schedule separate visits for each stump.
Can You Grind a Stump on Short Notice?
Often, yes. We've had customers call with only day-of notice because a stump was holding up construction on a home addition, and we've shown up within an hour of a Saturday call. We can't guarantee same-day service every time — it depends on our schedule that day — but we keep flexibility built in specifically for situations where a stump is actively blocking something time-sensitive.
If you're on a deadline — a contractor waiting to break ground, a delivery truck that needs driveway access, an event happening in the yard — say so when you call. We'll tell you honestly whether we can make it work same-day or give you the soonest realistic slot.
This kind of fast turnaround is part of why homeowners keep calling us back for the next stump, storm-related or not.

Storm & Fallen Tree Stump Removal Questions
How fast can you respond after a storm?
Often the same day or next day, depending on how many calls we're handling at once — we keep our schedule flexible for exactly this kind of situation.
Do you remove the fallen tree too, or just the stump?
We focus on the stump. If the tree itself is still down, we can typically still grind the stump around it, though full tree removal is a separate service you'd need to arrange first.
Can you grind a stump that's already partially uprooted?
Yes — we assess the actual condition on-site before quoting, since a partially uprooted stump can sometimes be pulled rather than ground, which we'll walk you through.
