Stump grinding is just one of many services Metro Detroit Tree Service offers. It is not included in the price of tree removal, but it is a very affordable add-on. Some homeowners or business owners do it themselves, but take it from us: it's a difficult job and is best handled by professionals with professional equipment. Particularly with very large trees or those with deep spreading roots, it's different from the kind of work the average person with typical equipment can handle. We'd be happy to take care of it for you at a price our customers always smile at. Our stump grinding and stump removal service in Detroit, Michigan, guarantees a great job. We have a professional team of experts ready to help with any tree service you need. Other tree services include tree planting, tree cabling, tree removal, tree trimming, tree pruning, and land clearing. Metro Detroit Tree Service is your next go-to tree service company!
Learn MoreWhen a tree falls, or after hiring a tree removal service, stump grinding is necessary for safety and curb appeal. The process our tree service uses to remove and grind your tree stumps is as follows. First, we go in by hand, with a shovel, to remove any loose or embedded rocks around the stump. These rocks pose a hazard and can damage our cutting wheel if not removed. We then take a chainsaw and trim the stump as close to the ground as possible. This is one of the extra steps we take to make the job even quicker and more efficient. It's not necessary, but it is a mark of professionalism as far as we are concerned. Our tree care company is second to none when it comes to removing trees and stumps with the best techniques.
Next, we raise the grinder wheel a few inches above the stump using the hydraulic lever. We swing the wheel back and forth to efficiently clear the wood. Every four inches or so, we raise the wheel, move in closer, and go at it once again. We continue that process until we have ground through the entire stump. Then we rake up all the wood chips and either haul them away or leave them for you if you have specified that you'd like to use them for mulch or landscaping materials. Finally, we tamp down and rake the soil, and if necessary, spread a layer of grass seed, which we then rake into the soil. You'll be responsible for watering the area regularly until your grass has taken root. After removing a stump or tree, our lot clearing service is highly recommended. Our clients usually hire our complete tree service, including stump grinding and tree removal. Your yard is in skilled hands with our tree care services in Macomb County and surrounding areas.
If you're the do-it-yourself type and considering renting your own gas-powered stump grinder to take care of the job yourself, note that our prices for removing one or two stumps will often be less than the cost to rent a stump grinder for the day. You can always call us for a free estimate and find out for sure. You'll also need a vehicle with a trailer hitch to tow the machine, which can be another expense if you don't already have one. Also, note that using a stump grinder is a hazardous operation unless you have proper training, so if you do go that route, you'll want to ensure your dealer provides complete training before you try to operate it! We suggest that you hire our tree service for these types of jobs, as you'll be safe and sound indoors while we take all the mess and hassle out of the operation.
