Stump Grinding

Remove Unsightly Tree Stumps with Safe, Efficient Grinding

After a tree is removed, what’s left behind can be just as problematic — stumps can attract pests, pose tripping hazards, damage mower blades, and ruin the clean look of your landscape. At Spears Tree Experts Inc., we offer professional stump grinding services in in Plymouth, Canton and Northville and surrounding Southeast Michigan communities.

Whether you're cleaning up after a recent removal or dealing with an old stump that’s been in the way for years, we have the equipment and experience to get the job done quickly and safely.

Our Stump Grinding Process

We use commercial-grade stump grinders to tackle stumps of any size, on any terrain. Our process includes:

1. Site Inspection

We evaluate the size, location, and root structure to plan the safest and most efficient approach.

2. Grinding and Removal

Our machines reduce the stump and surface roots into mulch — typically 6–12 inches below grade.

3. Backfill and Cleanup

Stump grindings are typically used to backfill the hole. We offer debris removal for an extra charge; however, many clients choose to save on costs by disposing of the material via city services or using it as garden mulch.

FAQs About Stump Grinding

  • How deep do you grind the stump?

    We typically grind 6–12 inches below the surface, which is deep enough for grass planting or landscaping. Deeper grinding is available upon request.

  • What happens to the wood chips?

    Save on service costs by choosing to keep your mulch on-site! It’s a great way to get free, natural ground cover for your garden beds. If you’d prefer us to haul it away, we can certainly do so for an additional fee.
