Hi, there's a large camellia shrub that I'd like to remove in my garden. It's growing amongst several other shrubs and I'm afraid if I disturb the soil around the roots too much it could kill the other plants. Also, the roots have come above ground in several places and I'd like to pave the area...is my only option going in and taking out the roots as carefully as possible?

I have two 3 year old Ceanothus which unfortunately this year suffered severe wind damage to one side. They look unsightly at the moment with one side in full bloom and the other side nearly bare. Can I cut plants back after flowering or will I have to be more ruthless and get rid? Thanking you in advance
