I have a 3 acre property that i am thrying to landscape. the land was used as a hay field until 1950. It was then bought by a mining company and left for dead. In the past 50 years spruce, tamarack, poplar, pine and willow trees have sprouted up everywhere. I have now brushed the small willow bushes and left all the desirable trees. My question is this:what is my next step? I want nice grass but I don't want to till the whole property. Can anyone recommend a way of killing the wilows? I brush them and they come right back. I've been pulling them out but there are just too many and their roots are unbelievable.

thanks for the suggestions guys, its encouraging to hear that eventually these suckers will die.
bmlekki- no its not all forest. thats actually what I love about it. aside from the ugly swamp willows it is very park like. I've been mowing the majority of it with a finishing mower the whole time. The trees are spaced very nicely, and are a great mix of species.
murf- I'm not a "premium" member so I didn't catch the end of your post. Do you know Emo? I'm actually on 670 acres but am only mowing 3. I live 2 miles out of the rocking metropolis of 1200people.
