It looks like box? If so I think it may have been had by box blight caterpillars and if that’s the case there’s no hope, it will need replacing! If so replace with privet, it grows relatively fast and you can keep in shape easily.
This is due to how it’s being cut, need to ensure there’s a layer of leaf when trimmed. Looks like there has been a large cut back where there are no leaf. Have a picture of mine but can’t attach 😔 shows one side nice and leafy green with the other like yours as I had to cut back to during autumn
Mine is looking similar but not quite as sparce.
It will hopefully perk back up. Mine always do.
Had a few nasty frosts this year that took back some of the green.
It privet. You’ve cut it back hard which is absolutely fine to manage it for size and shape. I’ve hacked our back much harder to reduce the size of the hedge. It’ll bounce back as it a bomb proof plant. There’s not a lot it needs. It wouldn’t harm to feed it once and water it if it’s really dry this summer. In less than a year or so it’ll look as good as your neighbours.
You can give it a trim and then add general fertiliser over the next few months
In winter it tends to lose its colour a bit, especially where there’s been snow and frost. In about a month from now it’ll be back to growing new leaves and look healthier and more green
I would be tempted to clear a little of the litter (wood and leaf and detritus) and mulch with a compost and chicken pellet manure mixture and give the whole thing a biweekly liquid feed and a water. We don’t normally do this for hedging but after a hard prune and a year characterised by long period of no rains and then far too much rain, the plants will appreciate a spring boost.
Feed it and wait for summer
