Here's what I did with my overgrown bushes, including yews: I put up
signs
and advertised "free shrubs, you dig". I got rid of at least 25 shrubs
and
2 50 foot long privet hedges that way and never had to lift a finger. I
watched while they labored!

Don't think I would do that as I'm gone frequently but I like the way you
think.
