It has been a couple months since the city had a contractor cut down my ash tree in the boulevard. On my block about 6-8 trees were cut down. All of them now have seedlings growing from them (in which I have to cut weekly).
For some reason the city decided to hire a different contractor to grind the stump (instead of using the same one who cut down the tree).
Ironically, when they cut down Ash trees on city property (like parks) the stumps are ground right away.
It would be nice of the stump could be at least ground down before the Fall so grass can be planted before winter.
