Privet naturally wants to grow dense, so a thin or patchy hedge is usually a sign the maintenance routine needs adjusting.
Encouraging density
- Cutting two to three times through the growing season
- Trimming all sides evenly, not just the top
- Ensuring adequate light reaches any shaded sections
Consistency is really the key factor with privet more than anything else.
