Amazing changes with the removal of those forsythia, Jo Ann. One neighbor has a thicket of them that's really amazing in bloom and does give them some privacy.
Neil - I left the two big ones but had others cut almost flush with the earth. One in the front was cut down to sitting height but the nice guy with the chain saw somehow misinterpeted the "bench" I wanted made so now it's only fit for very tall basketball players!
I'll get the guys to come back and move the slab to another garden atop cement blocks so it will be a bench.
