Landscaping?

There is a huge list of wants on my things to do to the yard. And there isn't a whole lot of extra time to do it in! We took an evening and cleared out the nasty bush and crooked tree on the side of the driveway one afternoon/evening Brandon cut the tree down with a chain saw and pulled the roots out with his truck! We had called for an estimate on a couple of the trees removal, we were quoted about a hundred dollars or more per tree, so this was one way to do it right?
