Damaged Hedge

 
Hi all, Im looking for some advice and hoping someone here can help.

I chained my bicycle around the trunk of my garden hedge and some
lowlife sawn through the trunk in order to steal my bike. I dont really
care about losing my bike as it was old and not really worth nicking but
now my hedge is damaged. I known nothing about gardening. Can this be
fixed or how do i go about replacing a hedge?

Thanks
K

What is the hedging plant?  Many will re-shoot from the stump.  If it is
such then re-growing this way is quicker than digging it out and starting
again.

With most privet hedges the stump will regrow.  In fact with old over
grown hedges with thick trunks folks often cut them back to within a
few inches of the ground... within a couple three years they have a
nice revitalized more managable hedge.  I'd concern myself more about
finding who stole your bike and saw his legs off... see how he likes
having stumps.
