Skip to content Cutting down a dead or damaged tree may feel like the biggest challenge—until you’re stuck with a large, unattractive stump. But a stump is more than just an eyesore. It can be a tripping hazard, invite pests and wildlife, and even spread disease to nearby healthy trees.
That’s why it’s best to get rid of stumps sooner rather than later. At Treemendous Tree Care, we make stump removal easy and hassle-free for homeowners and businesses across Utica, Michigan.
Removing stumps is a crucial finishing step after tree removal—but it’s equally important to have the right team take care of the job.
This isn’t a task for someone with a truck and a rented grinder. Too much can go wrong. An inexperienced team might leave parts of the stump behind, tear up your yard, hit underground utility lines, or even spread disease to nearby trees.
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 can be serious tripping hazards, and on commercial properties, they may even lead to liability claims or lawsuits if someone gets injured.
Running a lawnmower over a tree stump can do real damage to the machine—and in the worst cases, it might send broken blade pieces flying, turning them into dangerous projectiles.
Tree stumps can draw all sorts of pests—rats, mice, chipmunks, snakes, and frogs often make their homes there. They also provide ideal hiding places for insects like bees, wasps, termites, roaches, and spiders.
As stumps decay, they often turn into breeding grounds for harmful fungi and bacteria. During the breakdown process, these microbes can spread, putting your family, pets, and nearby trees at risk.
While trees enhance curb appeal, stumps have the opposite effect. They make your yard look unkempt and overlooked—not exactly the first impression you want to give.
One upside to removing a tree is the chance to plant something new—like flowers, shrubs, or even another tree. But that can’t happen until the old stump and roots are fully cleared out.
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 lower your property’s value because potential buyers often see them as an added expense or project they’ll need to take care of.
Tired of those stumps—and the pests and safety issues they bring? Give Treemendous Tree Care a call. Whether you’ve got one stump or a whole yard full, our skilled team will handle it safely, efficiently, and with care. We’ll get your yard back to looking its best—so you can enjoy your space without the hassle.

While stump removal services all seek to achieve the same basic goal, we do offer a few different options designed to suit property owners and managers in different situations. There are essentially three options available:
Stump grinding is one of our most popular services—and it’s easy to see why. Using a heavy-duty grinder with a sharp, rotating blade, we break the stump down into wood chips and dust. In most cases, the roots are left in place while we grind the stump itself. We can take it down flush with the ground or a few inches below the surface—whatever works best for your needs.
Stump removal takes things a step beyond grinding by extracting the entire stump along with a significant portion of the root system. Instead of a grinder, we use heavy-duty equipment to cut through the roots and lift the stump completely out of the ground. The biggest benefit? You’re left with a clean, open space—making it much easier and quicker to plant new trees or shrubs in that spot, since most of the roots are gone too.
Root grinding is sometimes paired with stump grinding, but it’s not always necessary. When included, our team focuses on removing visible roots around the stump—either instead of or in addition to grinding the stump itself. This added step gives your yard a cleaner, more finished appearance and helps protect your lawn equipment from damage caused by tough, buried roots.
Forget the DIY tricks and weekend crews with borrowed equipment. Drilling holes and pouring in chemicals? It’s risky—and almost never effective.
Instead, count on the pros at Treemendous Tree Care. Since 2019, we’ve been providing safe, reliable stump grinding for homes and businesses in Utica—and we’re ready to handle yours too!
