Thanks - the most help would simply be a decent sense of balance. I don't mind the work, it's the falling down that's annoying, and the bruises that longer for weeks afterward that Paul worries about.
David, I'll trade you the clearing of one small but steep, brush-covered back yard for a half acre of golf course - flat, mown and fewer obstacles!
Not that I'd want to cut down the lilac bushes and all the other shrubs and trees in my yard at any other time of the year - the birds (from junco up to the huge wild turkeys) and critters love it, and the sparrows shelter in the yews when the weather is nasty. My neighbor obliterated all the vegetation and "terraced" the yard shortly after moving in, put down some grass seed and gravel, and afterwards admitted it kinda had a "prison yard" feel. His sister has mitigated it somewhat with some plantings, but the wildlife and children prefer my yard!
