Regardless of appearance, the privet is an effective boundary, and it
doesn't blow down in the wind :-)
Yep, sorry about the link. Tinypic used to be the way to do this, but maybe
no longer


Yup - it was just the way you presented the link -- http should be start
letters
to tell our machines it is a link - none of this img stuff works - lol

With regards to the hedge(privet) - you will never get it looking right by
fiddling with the top
as little new growth will come from the bottom half in height of it.

It will end up looking like an elongated poodles tail !!

Chop the whole down to Three /Four ins of the ground and you will
eventually end up with a proper hedge again at a growth in
height rate of about 24 ins per annum.

There are lots of temporary barrier systems that you use over the next year
or so to create a temporary boundary whilst the
privet regrows.
