Trimming and Sprucing up

My neighbor has evergreens at the back of his lot just like ours. His, like ours were overgrown and had branches down to the ground like bushes you see that are overgrown and need to be removed. These are so big that it would be expensive and difficult to remove. As you can see he trimmed the lower limbs off kept the central ones and made a nice looking, neat, manicured look for his evergreens with tan mulch on the ground. I really liked the idea so started working on mine.
