Out with the Juniper bushes

Under the maple in the front, we have some juniper bushes which no one really liked but that were here when we moved in.

We wanted to take them out since they seemed impossible to weed once the grasses moved in.

It was harder than we thought. My dh finally had to come in with the tractor and drag out the main roots with a chain.

All clean now.

Newly planted with flowers and spread with mulch. Much better!
