Wood Chipping and Brush Removal in Hudsonville & West Michigan
Professional brush chipping for residential and commercial properties.
After tree trimming, storm cleanup, or land clearing, you're often left with piles of branches, limbs, and brush that need to go somewhere. My Tree Guy LLC provides professional on-site wood chipping services throughout Hudsonville, Grand Rapids, and over 25 communities across West Michigan — turning bulky brush into useful mulch or hauling it away completely.
Our commercial-grade wood chipper processes branches up to 12–18 inches in diameter, reducing massive brush piles to a fraction of their original size. Whether you need chipping after we've trimmed your trees, want an old brush pile cleaned up, or need land cleared for new construction, our crew handles it quickly and cleanly.
As a family owned and operated business based right here in Hudsonville, we take pride in leaving every property cleaner than we found it. Chipping is included with many of our tree trimming and removal jobs, but we also offer it as a standalone service — perfect for homeowners who've done their own yard work and need the brush processed.

Why Choose My Tree Guy
What Is Wood Chipping?
Wood chipping is the process of feeding tree branches, limbs, and brush through a commercial-grade wood chipper — a powerful machine with rotating blades that reduces wood material into small, uniform, mulch-sized pieces called wood chips.
Our commercial chipper is far more powerful than anything you can rent at a home improvement store. It processes branches quickly and efficiently, turning a towering pile of tangled brush into a manageable pile of fresh wood chips in minutes. The result is a dramatic reduction in volume — typically 75% or more — and a much cleaner, more usable property.
The wood chips produced during chipping are a valuable byproduct. They can be used as landscaping mulch around trees, shrubs, and flower beds, spread on garden pathways, used in play areas, or applied as ground cover in wooded areas. Many homeowners in Hudsonville and the Grand Rapids area specifically request that we leave the chips for their own use — it's free mulch that would otherwise cost $30–$50 per cubic yard at a landscape supply store.
When You Need Chipping Services
Chipping is one of our most versatile services. Here are the most common situations where homeowners and property managers in West Michigan call us for brush chipping:
After Tree Trimming or Removal
When our crew trims or removes trees on your property, chipping is the fastest way to process the resulting branches and limbs. Instead of hauling loose brush — which takes up enormous truck space — we chip it on-site, reducing volume by 75% or more.
Storm Cleanup
West Michigan storms leave scattered branches across yards, driveways, and sidewalks. Our chipping service quickly processes storm debris so you can reclaim your property and get back to normal. We respond fast after major storms throughout Ottawa and Kent County.
Land Clearing for New Construction
Builders and developers in the Grand Rapids metro area rely on our chipping service for lot clearing. We chip underbrush, small trees, and vegetation to prepare sites for construction — much faster and cleaner than hauling loose material.
Overgrown Property Cleanup
If your property has become overgrown with brush, saplings, and tangled vegetation, our commercial chipper makes quick work of it. We regularly help homeowners in Hudsonville, Jenison, and Zeeland reclaim neglected areas of their yards.
Brush Pile Removal
Many homeowners accumulate brush piles over months or years of yard work. Rather than burning (which many municipalities restrict) or trying to bag it all, chipping reduces the pile to a fraction of its size and produces useful mulch.
Seasonal Yard Cleanup
Spring and fall are peak seasons for yard cleanup in Michigan. Our chipping service is perfect for processing the branches, twigs, and brush that accumulate from winter storms or fall pruning. Start the season with a clean property.
Our Chipping Process
From assessment to cleanup, we make brush chipping simple and hassle-free.
Assessment & Access Planning
We evaluate the volume and type of brush, plan equipment access, and identify any obstacles. For larger jobs, we determine the best positioning for our chipper and truck.
On-Site Chipping
Our crew feeds branches, limbs, and brush through our commercial-grade chipper. The machine processes material into uniform, mulch-sized wood chips quickly and efficiently.
Chips Left or Hauled Away
Your choice: we can leave the fresh wood chips for you to use as landscaping mulch, spread them where you want them, or load them up and haul them away completely.
Complete Cleanup
We rake and clean the work area, ensuring no stray branches, leaves, or debris are left behind. Your property will look clean and tidy when we're done.
What We Can and Cannot Chip
Our commercial chipper handles most tree and brush debris, but there are some materials that cannot be processed for safety and equipment reasons.

Benefits of Professional Wood Chipping
Chipping is the smartest, most efficient way to deal with brush and tree debris on your property.
Reduces Volume by 75%+
A massive pile of loose brush becomes a compact pile of wood chips. What would fill multiple truck loads of loose branches fits in a fraction of the space when chipped.
Produces Useful Mulch
Fresh wood chips are a valuable landscaping resource. Use them around trees, in garden beds, on pathways, or in play areas. They suppress weeds, retain moisture, and enrich soil as they decompose.
Faster Than Hauling
Loading loose branches onto a truck is slow, space-inefficient work. Our commercial chipper processes brush in minutes that would take hours to load and haul by hand.
Environmentally Friendly
Chipping keeps organic material out of landfills and returns it to the landscape. It's a natural recycling process that benefits your property and the environment.
Cost-Effective
Chipping is one of the most affordable ways to deal with brush and tree debris. It's cheaper than renting equipment yourself and far more efficient than multiple dump runs.
Clean Results
Instead of an unsightly brush pile in your yard, you get a neat pile of usable wood chips or a completely clean property. Either way, the result is a huge improvement.
Chipping for Homes & Businesses
Residential chipping is our bread and butter. Homeowners throughout Hudsonville, Jenison, Grandville, and Zeeland call us to chip brush piles, process trimming debris, and clean up storm damage. Whether it's a small pile of branches from a weekend trim or a large accumulation from years of yard work, we handle it quickly and affordably.
