Backyard Before Photos

I finally hired a gardening crew to trim (chop!) down our shrubs in the backyard. The last time we had it done was almost two years ago. We've had crazy road construction on our street and block for the last year, which has been loud, dirty and and also took away parking spots. I had to wait until that was done before I could get someone to work on our yard. I've been doing my best to maintain everything over the last couple of years, but, it inevitably gets away from me, and becomes terribly overgrown.

Here are the before pictures of the jungle.
