Mitchel Coates
Owner/Operator 

Hi, I’m Mitchel– Owner & Operator of Mitch’s Stump Grinding & Outdoor Services
I started this business in 2023 with a simple goal: to offer reliable, high-quality stump grinding and outdoor services that people in Northern Michigan can count on. As someone who’s always enjoyed working with my hands and being outside, building this business from the ground up has been a true labor of love.
What started with just a Vermeer SC30TX, and a truck has grown into a full-service operation thanks to hard work, loyal customers, and the support of my family— who are all involved in the business. We’re proud to be a family-run company that values honesty, professionalism, and a job done right the first time.
Every day, I’m out in the field alongside my crew, making sure we leave each property better than we found it. Whether we’re grinding stumps, cleaning up brush, or tackling custom outdoor projects, we approach every job with the same level of care and commitment.
Northern Michigan is my home, and I’m proud to serve the people here. Thanks for trusting us with your property—we appreciate every opportunity to earn your business.

​Co-Owner/Operator

Hi! I’m Kevin – Co-Owner & Operator at Mitch’s Stump Grinding & Outdoor Services
I was born and raised in Boyne City, Michigan, and I’ve always had a passion for working outdoors and taking pride in a job well done. As Mitch’s nephew and Co-Owner of the business, I’m proud to be part of this growing family operation. I’m out in the field every day—grinding stumps, clearing properties, and making sure each job is done with precision and care.
Working alongside my uncle and the rest of the crew, I bring a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a commitment to treating every property like it’s our own. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a job completed right and knowing we helped make someone’s yard safer and cleaner.
Whether it’s one stump or a full cleanup, I’m proud to represent a company that’s built on family values, hard work, and serving the Northern Michigan community we love.
