Very nice! Yeah, those Azalea had to go. I love boxwood. :)
Beau does ‘shrub removal’ that same way. He took out some AWFUL Barberry across the front of the house and I replaced them with Viburnum and perennial grasses. SO much better!
Barberry. Ug. I removed a line of them when we moved here a few years ago. Shrubs from hell. All those thorns. 🙄
