Bare or thin patches in a hedge are rarely random — there's usually a reason behind them.
Common causes
- Cutting too deeply into old wood on a species that doesn't regenerate well
- Insufficient light reaching lower or shaded sections
- Root competition from nearby trees or structures
- Pest or disease issues affecting a specific area
Identifying the actual cause is the first step before deciding whether a patch can be corrected.
