Gappy laurel hedge

[Banjax]

Hi, Just looking for some advice.

We have a line of 11 laurel plants running along the front of our house, however, there is about 40-60cm gap between each plant, which means that instead of looking like a hedge, it just loks like...a row of plants. Id like to plug the gap. What plants can I use to fill them in and turn it into a proper hedge? I thinkk I will need something with quite a narrow root ball?

thanks

It probably sounds mad, but if you give them a hard prune and cut them back to about 2 feet, they will get much bushier and put out a lot of side branches from lower down which will fill the gaps.

Or if they have a lot of low but upright branches, bend them down sideways and weave them in and out.

When planting a hedge. loads of people plant them a long way apart, letting the plants grow tall and thin, and hope they will fatten up at the bottom later. It doesn't work. Plants tend not to get bushy low down unless you prune them a lot when they are small.

How tall are they ? Can you post a photo please so we can see the shape of the plants ?
