My back yard is overgrown and honestly my wife and I are not going to pull the weeds and clear cut it. We want to do some deck extensions and such but need to kill what life is left and clear out the rest of the weeds first. There is also one of those god awful evergreen bushes that needs to be removed.
Any recommendations for the Aurora area? This is a one time thing to clean up the yard, at which point we (wife and I) will be xeroscaping it and enlarging the deck.
I may have a few days on my hands here, What's involved? Oh, I Can't haul it away, if that makes a differance.[Tooth]

Middle south end.
Need one of those huge evergreen bushes removed as well. The ones that die inside and then become homes for spiders.

If you're interested in professional work, give this company a call.
http://www.cklandscaping.net/
I trust it, well, because I started it with the man that is currently running it. I'm now what you would call a "silent partner". Tell the guy (Jesse) that will answer your call that J.C. recommended him. He will treat you right. If you are interested, let me know and I will talk to him.
Those Juniper bushes suck ass. I hate them. Might be even be a reason I'm out of it now!!! Spider breeding grounds!
We can give you an idea of how much it will take for ALL of the work to get done. yard, deck, fence, xerascaping, stone, anything.
Honestly, we won't be the cheapest company if you are getting multiple estimates. But we are legal, pull permits as needed, and guarantee the work (which is something you won't get with a cheapo fly-by-night company). I will stand behind it myself, my word is good here, it is good otherwise as well.
Just let me know.
J.C.

This is mostly prepping to change to a xeroscape and a bigger deck. Lots and lots of rocks on top of dead ground but I wanted the bush and ground cover removed.
truck in 4L + towstrap for the bush.
Ground clear the rest of it.

Sounds like I need to get close to the spiders to pull that off. There is a reason I am willing to pay for this.

I hate spiders more than anything in the world... But I have a 3/4 ton truck with low gears... If you got the straps, $250 will get you a bush pulled outta the ground.
There is a "spider touched me" fee, though... For every spider that touches me, add a 0 to try end of the price. [LOL]

So...
One spider touches you and it is now 250.0 for the job? And another spider makes it 250.00?

Soak that root ball with water really good before you yank it.

Best way to get rid of those junipers is to start with a chainsaw and work your way in until you get something manageable to get a strap around. Don't worry too much about the spiders, wear long sleeves and leather gloves. What you have going on really isn't bad at all compared to some juniper nightmares I've removed.
They are just spiders!! Sack up for god sakes!!!

Just start soaking the ground around it now. I'll be over Tuesday with the truck. Get the straps.
