Mr. Miyagi, help me!
I have an evergreen in my backyard that hasn't seen a good day for as long as I have call my house "home." I thought I would do a little shaping...you know...make it look like they do in Karate Kid. I'm still working on it... but I think I'll leave much to be desired...lol.

Looks like a job for Edward Scissorhands! I bet you will "spruce" it up in no time!
hey...Edward Scissorhands...good idea.
Evergreens can take some serious cutting back. I cut some yews back to almost a stump. Let's see, they were about 5 feet tall around a patio, and I couldn't see my kids playing in the back yard. So I cut them down to about 18-24" tall. They looked rather bad for a while, but a year later were filled out nicely.
It looks like you may have cypress--trickier because you have to go in and cut out individual branches. Again, you can be rather severe. Have fun, enjoy the "sculpturing" process, and show us the result!
