ISA Certified Arborist providing tree removal, trimming, pruning, and 24/7 emergency tree service across Cumming and Forsyth County.
Cumming, Georgia has exploded with growth over the past decade. New subdivisions have been carved into formerly wooded land, leaving many homeowners with large pines and hardwoods standing uncomfortably close to new construction. These trees were never meant to exist on the edge of a cleared lot, and without the surrounding forest to buffer wind, they become increasingly hazardous with each passing storm season.
Our Alpharetta tree service team, led by ISA Certified Arborists, serves Cumming and the surrounding Forsyth County area. We handle everything from routine trimming to emergency removals of 100-foot pines that have split during a storm.
The area around Lake Lanier presents additional challenges. Properties within the lake buffer zone are subject to US Army Corps of Engineers regulations that restrict tree removal and land disturbance. We understand these rules and ensure every job is performed legally and correctly.

Understanding the specific tree care issues that affect Cumming and Forsyth County homeowners.
Properties near the lake are subject to US Army Corps regulations restricting tree removal and land disturbance. We navigate these requirements for compliant service.
Rapid development in Cumming leaves trees stranded on cleared lots without forest protection. Root zone compaction from heavy machinery weakens these exposed trees.
Pine beetle infestations spread quickly through Forsyth County loblolly pines, especially during drought. Early identification and removal prevents spread to neighboring trees.
Cumming experiences intense thunderstorms with straight-line winds that snap pines and uproot hardwoods in saturated red clay soil. Quick emergency response is critical.
As neighborhoods fill in, boundary trees become contentious. We provide arborist reports documenting tree ownership, condition, and recommended action for property disputes.
Forsyth County summers bring extreme heat and dry spells. Without supplemental watering, mature trees suffer dieback, making them vulnerable to disease and pests.
Forsyth County enforces a tree protection ordinance on properties undergoing development or land disturbance. For established residential properties, permits are generally not required, but HOA rules may apply. We confirm all requirements before beginning work.
Yes. Properties in the Lake Lanier buffer zone are subject to additional regulations from the US Army Corps of Engineers. We are familiar with these rules and ensure all tree work near the lake is performed in compliance.
After removing a large pine, we often recommend native hardwoods such as willow oak, red maple, or tulip poplar. These species do well in Forsyth County soil and provide excellent shade and value for your property.
Stress symptoms include minor leaf discoloration and thinning. Dying trees show extensive crown dieback, bark separation, fungal growth at the base, and major deadwood. An arborist can determine whether treatment is viable or removal is needed.
Yes. We frequently grind old stumps left behind by previous tree removals. We grind 6 to 8 inches below grade and backfill with the resulting mulch, ready for sod or replanting.
