Our property after all the overgrown shrubs are gone.

Here is our house with the massive shrubs gone. What a difference!

Couldn't put pics in one post --- but here is another shot of the house - after.

Oh wow!  That's a big difference!  Your yard looks bigger!

I need to get by  my Mother's house to see how hers looks.  She just had 2 taken down (plus some other overgrown stuff) that were badly damaged in a storm recently.  She's excited to replant.  I think it's going to revitalize her whole yard!

It does make a tremendous difference. A little hard to see in the pictures. Now we don't have that bad fire hazard as the bushes were much too close to the house. And the 3 pines on the other side posed a real danger of damage to the roof.

Cool! So, what are you planning to do with all that open area? 

If I can turn my black thumb to green we'll do some planting. So far I haven't been too lucky!

Did you have before pictures?

It might be a little hard to see, but here is our property before the cleared the bushes and pine trees.

Did you keep the palm trees?  I think they are so pretty...

Palms are ok. We got rid of the 3 pine trees and all those berry bushes.

I remember when you posted about the tree men :lol3: to clean up the yard. Looks good from what I can tell. Must have been a few noisy days!
