back on top. cover the area back up with leaves, so it looks as if there never was a bush there in the first place. the idea is to make as few changes as possible to the forest ecosystem. the best job is the one that looks as if there was no work done in the first place.
what to do with the bush after it is removed? we leave the bush on the site, cut up and scattered about, the roots hung up on old branches, not touching the bare soil. very rarely will a pulled-out bush reattach itself to the soil and re-grow. it may look a bit ugly
