These can grow very large if left alone. For larger shrubs and trees - you are best to hire a tree professional who can remove the entire plant(s). It is much safer this way - much quicker and it's worth it. It is unlikely you can save the shrubs for replanting, but you can ask them if you wish to do this. To remove the plants, the roots are extensive, so they will use proper equipment to shred up the base of the shrub and down into the main roots system area. This way you can either plant a more desirable tree or shrub in the same area or grow grass. We had a few Rhododendron removed last year along with some larger trees - the shrubs were done for free as a part of the job so I can't say what it might cost you but I'd suggest getting at least two quotes from certified and ensured service providers in your area.
