I've helped people with much more overgrown gardens get them back fairly
easily by a bit of judicious pruning and taking out any self sown tress
and stuff. You'd be surprised how shrubs that look way beyond
salvageable respond to a bit of room and feeding. You'vbe probably taken
out or destroyed some really nice things!

A lawn needs far more attention than a shrubbery or border, and will
give a lot less interest and enjoyment.
