Sooo, I may have tried to trim the bushes in my front yard last night, and I may or may not have made them look worse. :/ They are out of control. I really want to just have the three majorly ugly bushes that are in under the front window (that actually look like one crazy, large bush) removed completely. My thought was to just take my hedge trimmer and trim them across the top and in front to make them look like a rectangle. At least it would look more orderly even if they are still hideous bushes.
However, it is not as easy as it sounds or looks! I got the front half trimmed down and then realized...I can't reach the back half of them! There is a huge lilac bush on one side, and the porch on the other, so I can't get behind them or in between them at all.
On top of the ugly bushes, the lilac bushes need trimmed back as well. There is another one on the other side of the house that is growing out over the driveway and in front of the garage door. I really wish I knew what I was doing or had someone to show me how. But, I suppose my only option at this point, other than leaving them to look like crap, is to hire someone to landscape them for me. :(
