Removing a dead or damaged tree may feel like the hard part is over—until you’re stuck with an ugly stump in your yard. But stumps are more than just a visual nuisance. They can be tripping hazards, attract pests and wildlife, and even spread disease to surrounding healthy trees.
That’s why it’s best to take care of them sooner rather than later. At Treemendous Tree Care, we make stump removal easy and hassle-free for homeowners and businesses across Roseville, Michigan.
Stump removal is the last key step in a complete tree removal—and hiring the right team is what makes the difference between a job done and a job done right.
This isn’t something to hand off to someone with a rental grinder and a pickup truck. Too much can go wrong. An inexperienced crew might leave part of the stump behind, damage your lawn, hit buried utility lines, or even put nearby trees at risk of disease.
Instead, contact the professionals at Treemendous Tree Care! We have a team of stump-grinding professionals who have the tools, equipment, and expertise to get the job done correctly (and safely)!
Some folks think stump removal is optional, but we usually suggest it for both homeowners and businesses. Here are a few solid reasons to go ahead and have those stumps ground down or completely removed:
Tree stumps pose a significant tripping hazard—particularly on commercial properties, where an injury can easily lead to liability claims or costly lawsuits.
Hitting a tree stump with a lawnmower can seriously damage the equipment—and in extreme cases, it could send sharp blade fragments flying, posing a major safety risk.
Tree stumps attract all kinds of unwanted pests—rats, mice, chipmunks, snakes, and frogs often settle in. They also offer perfect hiding spots for bees, wasps, termites, roaches, and spiders.
As stumps decay, they become prime spots for harmful fungi and bacteria to grow. These can easily spread, putting nearby trees, pets, and even your family at risk.
While trees enhance your property's appearance, stumps have the opposite effect. They make your yard look unkempt and uncared for—not the impression you want to leave.
One of the benefits of removing a tree is gaining space to plant something new—like flowers, shrubs, or a replacement tree. But that can only happen once the old stump and roots are completely removed.
Tree stumps can sometimes send up new shoots that develop into small trunks. The issue is, these shoots are often poorly anchored, making them unstable and potentially dangerous as they grow.
Tree stumps can hurt your property’s value since buyers often view them as an added expense and a hassle they’ll have to deal with later.

While all stump removal services aim to achieve the same end result, we offer a few tailored options to fit different needs and property types. You can choose from three main approaches:
Stump grinding is one of our top services—and for good reason. We use a high-powered, fast-spinning grinder with sharp teeth that turns the stump into wood chips and dust. In most cases, we grind down just the stump, leaving the roots in place. Whether you want it level with the ground or a few inches below the surface, we’ll tailor the depth to match your needs and future landscaping plans.
Stump removal goes beyond grinding by pulling out the entire stump along with much of the root system. Instead of grinding it down, we use heavy-duty equipment to cut through the roots and lift the whole stump out. The main advantage? You’re left with a clear, open space—perfect for planting new trees, shrubs, or reworking your landscape without leftover roots in the way.
Root grinding is often done alongside stump grinding, but it’s not always necessary. When it is, our team targets the exposed roots around the stump—either as a standalone task or along with stump grinding. This extra step gives your yard a cleaner, more polished look and helps prevent damage to lawnmowers or other equipment caused by stubborn underground roots.
Skip the DIY methods and weekend crews with borrowed gear. Drilling holes and dumping chemicals? It’s not only risky—it rarely works.
Instead, trust the pros at Treemendous Tree Care. Since 2019, we’ve delivered dependable, expert stump grinding to homeowners and businesses throughout Roseville—and we’re ready to take care of yours too!

Still have questions about stump grinding services? Curious about the difference between stump removal and stump grinding? Have questions about the costs associated with stump grinding?
We answer a few of the most common questions our customers have below!
Using a chainsaw to remove a stump usually isn’t the smartest choice—and here’s why. Chainsaws are powerful tools that should only be handled by trained users wearing proper safety gear like chaps and eye protection.
Plus, if the blade hits dirt or rocks, it can quickly damage the saw—possibly leaving you with a costly repair bill that’s more than hiring a professional in the first place.
And in the end, DIY results rarely measure up to the clean, efficient job you’ll get from a commercial-grade stump grinder in the hands of a skilled crew.
Burning stumps isn’t just dangerous—it’s actually illegal in many areas across the U.S. And even where it’s permitted, it’s almost never a good idea. Stump fires are unpredictable and can smolder for days or even weeks, requiring constant supervision to prevent them from spreading. Most people simply aren’t equipped to manage that kind of risk safely.
Technically, yes—you can rent and use a stump grinder yourself. But it’s usually not a great idea. These machines are powerful and can be dangerous without proper training. In many cases, hiring a professional is not only safer but can actually cost less than renting the equipment and risking damage or injury.
If your property sees regular foot traffic or you’re planning to sell in the next decade, stump grinding is almost always a smart investment. Stumps pose safety risks, invite pests, and hurt your curb appeal—so removing or grinding them down is usually well worth it.
Stump grinding prices can range widely based on a few key factors—like stump size, tree species, the number of stumps, and how easy the area is to access.
Generally, grinding a small stump might cost less than \$100, while removing a large or difficult-to-reach stump could run \$2,000 or more.
It really comes down to your goals and budget. Stump grinding is generally more affordable and quicker, but it leaves the roots in place. Stump removal, on the other hand, clears out the entire stump and root system, giving you a clean slate—but it usually costs more because it requires heavier equipment and extra labor.
Stump grinding doesn’t come with many downsides, but it’s not always the best fit for every situation. For instance, getting a stump grinder into tight or hard-to-reach areas can be challenging. Also, since grinding leaves the roots behind, some tree species may send up new shoots from those remaining roots over time.
Yes, it’s possible for trees to sprout new growth from a leftover stump—especially species like willows, poplars, and ashes. But nearly any tree can try to grow back. That’s why stump grinding is strongly recommended. While it doesn’t completely eliminate the chance of regrowth, it significantly cuts down the risk by removing the main source of energy for those shoots.
Stump grinding typically goes 4 to 6 inches below the surface—enough for most standard yard uses. That said, every property is different, so we evaluate each situation to determine the best depth for your specific needs.
