Invasive Plants

When someone says a plant or something is invasive, do you know what it really means?? We just found out the hard way; it SUCKS. I’m assuming the landscaping in the front of our home was done when the home was built; the bushes/plants/grass are pretty established. We spent time cutting the bushes down a couple weekends ago and Doug has been ripping roots out of the ground ever since. The roots are taking over the grass, trees and other bushes around them. Our poor grass is suffering the most. Eventually we are hoping this grass will be bark anyways, but in the meant time we have to keep it nice and green.
