Before: This is one of three places in our yard where a mixture of honeysuckle, wild grapevine, and wild rose had taken over. Used to be we kinda liked the natural look, but it had become too much. Besides, I think the neighbors didn't care much for it.
After: I removed this bramble bush area plus two more not shown. Also I took out wild grapevine along about 150 feet of fence. Not only did I cut and pull the growth out, I cut it up and bagged it so that it could be taken away and made into compost. There's still work to be done, removing a maze of honeysuckle roots, but the main part is done. Does it look better? Perhaps a matter of opinion--it's a work in progress.
