Here are some general steps you can follow to make your backyard bush square:

1. Measure and mark the desired dimensions: Decide on the desired size of the square shape for your bush and use a measuring tape or a measuring tool to mark the corners of the square. You can use stakes, sticks, or other markers to clearly define the corners of the square.

2. Clear the area: Remove any obstacles such as weeds, rocks, or debris from the marked area to prepare it for shaping.

3. Trim and shape the bush: Use pruning shears, hedge trimmers, or other appropriate tools to trim and shape the bush according to the marked dimensions. Start by trimming the edges to create straight lines, and then work your way inward to shape the bush into a square form. Be sure to follow proper pruning techniques and avoid over-pruning, as it may harm the health of the bush.

4. Maintain and monitor: Regularly monitor and maintain the square shape of the bush by trimming any new growth that extends beyond the desired dimensions. This may require periodic pruning to keep the square shape intact as the bush continues to grow.

5. Proper care: Remember to provide appropriate care for your bush, including proper watering, fertilisation, and protection from pests or diseases, to promote healthy growth and maintain the square shape.

It's also a good idea to consider the specific type of bush you have in your backyard, as different bushes may require different pruning and care techniques. If you're unsure about how to properly shape or care for your bush, consulting a professional gardener or horticulturist may be helpful.<|im_end|>
