We have a privet hedge. Would never have chosen it, but it's probably as old as the house. So just going with the vibe really. Recently hacked a huge amount off one side of it, so it's looking a bit holey and bare, but hoping it'll re-green soon.

This is my beef with those sorts of hedging. Regardless of personal taste or wildlife arguments, so many of the trad hedges require more maintenance than I think you're average homeowner wants to provide.

Hmm. Not really. Imo. We did barely anything to it for years. It needs clipping but it doesn't really mind how or when. The recent hacking is because we decided we wanted to make it slimmer to get more garden space. Privet is fairly polite.
