Every quote and every stump is handled personally. I’m a hands-on, insured professional who takes pride in doing clean, careful work right here in Metro Detroit.

Before launching Stumpocalypse, I founded HomeGrown Cycles — a trusted mobile bicycle repair service that’s been part of this community since 2009. The reliability, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that built HomeGrown Cycles now drive Stumpocalypse — fast, clean, and safe stump grinding starting at $150.

Why Grind Your Stumps?

Prevent Hazards

Old stumps create tripping hazards and obstacles for mowers. Grinding them out makes your yard safer for kids, guests, and equipment.

Improve Curb Appeal

Stumps leave your lawn looking unfinished. Grinding them out restores a clean landscape and increases your property’s visual value.

Stop Regrowth and Pests

Stumps can regrow or attract termites and carpenter ants. Grinding eliminates the root system and removes a welcome mat for pests.
