Storm Damage Stump & Root Plate Cleanup — Highland, Milford & Beyond

After a windstorm, the tree service hauls off the trunk and limbs — and you're left with either a snapped-off stump or an uprooted root plate the size of a garage door standing on edge in your yard. We handle both, usually within 48 hours.

Snapped stumps grind the same as any stump: standard below-grade grind, chips raked, done.

Uprooted root plates are the dangerous one. Once the trunk is cut off, the root plate can slam back down into its hole without warning — thousands of pounds, fast enough to kill. Keep kids away and never cut the trunk yourself. We bring the plate down in a controlled way, grind the root mass, backfill the crater, and rough-grade it for seeding.

Insurance and timing

Homeowner's policies frequently cover storm stump work when the tree hit a structure — we provide itemized invoices and photos formatted the way adjusters want. After a widespread storm we triage hazards first, cosmetic grinds after. Calling early gets you in the queue: (248) 544-1518.
