The word bush undersells this one. In a Kidderminster garden, a group of dense evergreens had grown into big rounded shapes beside a brick wall, taller than a person and thick enough to block much of the corner. Our two photos show them before, and the bare circle of earth where they stood once they were removed.
What was growing there
The before photo shows a tall oval conifer, a second, darker one that has gone shaggy, and a few smaller rounded shrubs in a ring at the foot of the lawn. Some brown, dead-looking foliage is visible inside the group. Clipped evergreens like these reach a point where trimming no longer helps, and taking them out is often the tidiest way to reset a garden.
The cleared patch
The second photo, taken in dusk light, shows a roughly circular patch of loose, chipped soil where the shrubs once stood, with the brick wall, its ivy and a mixed border behind. That patch can be levelled and re-seeded, turfed, or planted up. Roots left behind are usually dealt with by cutting low, or grinding out, depending on what is going to go there next.
