It's trimming time for the yews in my yard. They were here when we moved here 39 years ago. I managed to keep them trimmed back for most of that time. Then a few years ago I let things go. A little too long.
Here's a picture of a low yew. (not my house) This one is about half way up the window. Now picture one past the window to the roof line. Yup, time to cut them back a little. Or a lot.
I used a pruner until I thought the blade was going to bend. Then out came the chain saw. It was thick in there. It's amazing how many piles of debris you can make out of a few bushes. Or twelve so far. Two more to go and then a tree that got bigger than I thought it would.
I was going to have a 30 yard dumpster delivered. I might need a 40.
When the bushes come back maybe I'll keep them trimmed like this...
Maybe not.

Work.
Letting is go to long can have consequences. Ugh!
Greetings to you and best wishes!
It sounds like a lot of work! And debris!
Shurbs are a lot of work! My sympathies!
