A stump in a mowed lawn area, near a walkway, or one sprouting new growth are the common reasons to grind. With more ash removals happening around Brookings recently, more yards are dealing with this decision than in past years.

Frequently Asked
01

Will an ash stump keep sprouting after removal in Brookings?

Ash can send up sucker shoots from the roots for a season or two if not ground — grinding stops that regrowth.
