So I had been out cleaning up from this winter, enjoying the 50 degree weather (when it came). Trimming way overgrown bushes down to a more reasonable size. To give you a size reference the bottom of the window is just over 5 feet tall. Just high enough for me to keep banging the top of my head into. The before pictures were taken early spring and mid summer of this past year. The after pictures were this week. The bushes are not done, I wanted to give them a chance to recover before I cut back the front to where it should be. (Or it might kill them)
