Hi,

I don't know much about hedges so could someone please tell me what
this
hedge is.

http://www.baldman.eclipse.co.uk/hedge/page.html

And if there's any hope for it?

It has holes in it and patches where the leaves are all brown.

Thanks,
Steven

I think it is Leylandii http://tinyurl.com/6fppl6 which has been pruned
too severely. It is unwise to cut into the dead wood. It may recover
if shoots from other living branches grow over the dead gaps. You can
encourage them to do so by redirecting them somewhat.
