Before all though, check whether or not the bushes you are about to tear out are protected species or not. If they are then you need to pull them out carefully and replant them to a designated location or a site approved by your local council. If the bush has a birds nest in it, then it should be left untouched until the eggs have hatched. Some bushes have really deep root systems, which weave and tangle with utility lines running underground.

The chance of you breaking a utility line in your effort to remove bushes is quite slim, but the chance of you hitting a utility line with one of your power tools is higher so be careful and if possible find out the location of such lines running beneath your property.

If you have a compost bin or heap you can throw greens and leaf matter in it and only get rid of the stems and branches.
