With the help of my neighbor, her son, & my son, we were able to take out this bush between the fences & added herbicide so I wouldn’t grow back! This felt like an accomplishing weekend.

The branches were touching the ground when I started. I chopped them all up to the picture above. Having an 8 y/o & 10 y/o go between the fences to cut up the roots really helped quite a bit. My neighbor helped putt out the bulk of the branches so the boys could get in there. I did the rest. The boys helped with cleanup of the branches. I have NEVER tackled anything lawn related but i was just getting too tired of the backyard being ugly & I really want to grill this summer. My husband has been picking up a lot of extra shifts on the weekends so he never has time. I’m doing things in pieces because I want to learn how to do things on my own. Next week we got another project. I am so proud of myself!
