Need help ripping out bushes - $60

[FreezeDryGuy]

As someone who's ripped out a BUNCH of bushes over the years, I'd put money that those bushes won't be out in 30 minutes using that method.

What will get them out in that time frame is someone with a backhoe or a Mini-X

Dang, I've under estimated the bush

I had some massive boxwood holly bushes that I ended up exposing the base, cutting them out with a chainsaw flush to the ground , and let them be. 6 weeks later new growth and I was able to maintain them all at a manageable size moving forward.

It will probably take years to get rid of them even after they are ripped out/dug up. Any little bit or root will sprout on Holly. PITA to get rid of.

Please post pictures of what your yard looks like after someone hooks up a 4 wheel drive pickup to these bushes and attempts to pull them up

Careful. I have a friend that did this and it got him weeks in the doghouse. Ask before you dig…

I'm redoing the entire front yard with several dozens yards of top soil, sod, etc. Thats why I don't care much, just want those old ass bushes gone

Thats what I hear, was hoping ripping the whole thing up would take care of it.

I gotta say, I wasn't anticipating the passion people have for bushes and bush removal techniques
