Oh wow! That's a big difference! Your yard looks bigger!
I need to get by my Mother's house to see how hers looks. She just had 2 taken down (plus some other overgrown stuff) that were badly damaged in a storm recently. She's excited to replant. I think it's going to revitalize her whole yard!
It does make a tremendous difference. A little hard to see in the pictures. Now we don't have that bad fire hazard as the bushes were much too close to the house. And the 3 pines on the other side posed a real danger of damage to the roof.
