Log and Wood Removal in Hudsonville & West Michigan
Complete wood and log hauling after tree work — your property left clean and clear.
After a tree comes down — whether from professional removal, storm damage, or natural causes — you're left with heavy trunk sections, large limbs, and piles of wood that need to go somewhere. My Tree Guy LLC provides complete log and wood removal services throughout Hudsonville, Grand Rapids, and over 25 communities across West Michigan, so your property is left clean, clear, and usable.
We handle everything from a few leftover logs after a single tree removal to massive cleanups involving dozens of trunk sections scattered across storm-ravaged properties. Our crew has the trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment to load and haul wood of any size — including those massive 3–4 foot diameter hardwood trunk sections that are too heavy for most people to move.
Unlike some tree services that leave wood behind for the homeowner to deal with, complete cleanup is included with every My Tree Guy job. When we remove a tree, all wood, logs, branches, and debris leave with us. Your yard will look better than we found it — that's our promise.
We also offer standalone log removal for homeowners who had a different company do the tree work and leave the mess, or for properties with old logs that have been sitting around for months or years. We're fully licensed, carry comprehensive insurance, and are BBB A+ rated.
Why Choose My Tree Guy
When You Need Log Removal
From post-removal cleanup to clearing old wood piles, here are the most common reasons homeowners and property managers in West Michigan call us for log removal:
After Tree Removal
When a tree comes down, the trunk sections and large limbs need to go somewhere. If you don't want to keep the wood for firewood, our crew loads and hauls every piece — leaving your yard completely clean and clear.
Storm Damage Cleanup
Major storms in West Michigan can leave large trunk sections scattered across your property, driveway, or even your roof. We handle the heavy lifting — literally — cutting, loading, and hauling storm debris so you can get back to normal.
Clearing Wooded Lots
Developers and homeowners preparing wooded lots for construction or landscaping in the Grand Rapids metro area rely on our log removal to clear fallen and cut trees efficiently. We haul the wood and leave a clean site ready for the next phase.
Old Wood Sitting in the Yard
It's common to find piles of cut logs that have been sitting in backyards for months or even years — left behind by a previous tree service or accumulated over time. We haul them away and give you your yard back.
Commercial Property Cleanup
Property managers, HOAs, and business owners throughout Ottawa and Kent County call us to remove logs and wood debris from commercial properties, parking areas, and common spaces. We work around your schedule to minimize disruption.
Our Log Removal Process
From assessment to final cleanup, we make log removal simple and stress-free.
Volume & Access Assessment
We evaluate the amount of wood, log sizes, and the best access route for our equipment. For tight spaces, we plan the most efficient path to get logs out without damaging your property.
Cut to Size if Needed
If trunk sections are too large to move safely, our crew cuts them into manageable pieces on-site using professional chainsaws. This makes loading faster and protects your lawn and landscaping.
Load & Haul Away
Using trucks, trailers, and loading equipment, we load all logs and wood debris and haul it away from your property. Heavy hardwood logs are handled with care to avoid damage to driveways and walkways.
Recycle & Repurpose
We don't just dump wood in a landfill. Hardwood is processed for firewood, softwood is chipped for mulch, and quality logs may go to local sawmills. We believe in responsible wood recycling.
Clean & Clear Property
After all wood is removed, we clean the work area — raking sawdust, clearing small debris, and ensuring your property is left in excellent condition.
What Happens to the Wood?
We don't just haul wood to a landfill. We recycle and repurpose as much as possible — keeping good wood in use and out of waste.
Firewood Processing
Quality hardwood logs — oak, maple, ash, cherry, hickory — are cut and split for firewood. Much of this wood stays local, heating West Michigan homes through our long winters.
Mulch & Wood Chips
Softwood and smaller logs are processed through our chipper to produce wood chip mulch. This mulch is used in landscaping projects, garden beds, and playgrounds throughout the area.
Sawmill Lumber
Large, straight, high-quality hardwood logs — especially walnut, cherry, and white oak — may be sent to local sawmills where they're milled into usable lumber for furniture, flooring, and construction.
Responsible Disposal
Wood that can't be recycled or repurposed is disposed of responsibly at approved facilities. We make every effort to minimize waste and keep wood out of landfills.
Log Removal for Any Situation
Whether you're a homeowner with a few logs in the backyard or a developer clearing a wooded lot, My Tree Guy LLC has the crew and equipment to handle it. We serve residential and commercial properties throughout Hudsonville, Grand Rapids, and the entire West Michigan area.
Residential log removal often involves navigating tight spaces — between houses, around fences, over landscaping. Our crew knows how to move heavy wood through challenging access points without tearing up your lawn or damaging your property.
Commercial log removal serves property managers, builders, and municipalities who need efficient clearing of large volumes of wood. We have the trucks and manpower to handle multi-day cleanups for big projects.
Bundle and Save
Log removal is most cost-effective when bundled with other services. When you combine tree removal + stump grinding + log hauling in a single visit, you save on mobilization costs and get a better overall price than scheduling each service separately.
Many homeowners in the Hudsonville and Grand Rapids area choose our complete tree removal package: we remove the tree, grind the stump, haul away all wood and debris, and leave your yard perfectly clean — all in one visit. It's the most efficient and affordable way to handle a tree that needs to come down.
We also bundle log removal with our firewood prep service. If you want to keep some of the wood for burning, we'll cut and split it to your preferred size and haul away the rest. You get ready-to-season firewood and a clean yard.
