My back yard is quite overgrown, and most of my early efforts have been devoted to Paul Bunyan-like tree felling. At last, I have largely cleared one side, as seen below.
Where before there were 5 or 6 cedar trees and numerous weeds and vines, now there is a clear area, save for a few stumps that are not long for this world.

The lone tree I plan to spare back here is this gloriously large Rhododendron at right.
