[quote=Anonymous]We have big boxwoods for foundational shrubs right up against the house. Bought the house with them. They are quite big, and becoming untenable. I'm having trouble walking behind them near the house. Tons of weeds are now growing those areas, and I can't really doing anything about it because of lack of space. There are also vines/ivy growing in the middle of them that I can't even pull out because they are very hard to reach. The boxwoods seem to be many years old and have very thick trunks. I wanted to rip them out completely and start all over again with new landscaping next year, but my wife wants to keep them. How hard can I prune them without killing them? Is it possible to remove as much at a 1-2 feet around all sides? It'll probably look like just branches if I did that, but will it grow back in? [/quote]
