Perhaps the ultimate example is the classic hedge (composed of one plant), as in the photo above of a privet hedge. Formal hedges can have such a unified look that they essentially function as "living walls" in a landscape design.

The decision to remove a privet hedge is a difficult one. After all, privet does a lot of nice things for us. It gives us privacy from our neighbors, cuts down on noise pollution from the street, and cools our houses in summer by reducing wind and transpiration of groundwater through its leaves.

Question: I planted a privet hedge about 4 years ago along the top of a berm. It has grown very well. I trim it down each spring. However, it is now about 4 feet tall but not bushing out at the bottom. How can I get it to fill in at the bottom?
