Common Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus Rotundifolia) is one of the most popular evergreen hedges or shrubs used for screening and privacy. If left untrimmed to grow as a broad hedge it also deadens noise pollution. 

While trimming Common Laurel (Prunus laurocerasus Rotundifolia) can keep the hedge tidy and manageable leaving it untrimmed gives the benefit of flowers and berries for wildlife.
