Two years ago, I cut out about every other bush around the front of my house using a reciprocating saw which cut each bush off at the stump. I then followed up with a brush killer applied to the stumps. I covered everything with pine straw. When the stumps rot out, then I can backfill each indentation with topsoil.Dang, I've under estimated the bush

Thank you!I would endorse the “cut and cover” solution. I cut two huge hollies down to the ground and painted this stuff on the exposed stumps:

I got it at my local seed & feed where the workers actually have experience with the things they sell. Get a throwaway paintbrush, pour this stuff straight into a disposable pan, and paint it on the stump. Not a sign of anything resembling holly has come up after almost three years. YMMV.
Oh, and DO NOT get it on you or anything you want to live…
Your house and bushes look just like mine. I wish my wife would let me rip my bushes out.
I've seen Holly bushes bend the forks on a bobcat. Ended up doing like you said and miniex it out of there.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
