Can someone tell me if this hedge is dead

 


Hello

We have just moved into a new house.

Our property borders a farmyard and along one edge grows some sort of
evergreen
conifer hedge about 7 feet tall and 30 feet long...some parts
of it are as green
as could be and has a lot of new season growth
showing, but large parts of
it...appears to be if not dead, then
certainly unwell...it is all brown and
shows no new growth this season.


Now I know that the inside areas of connifers, the parts that get no
sun, are
often brown and look dead, but this hedge gets full sunlight
all day, and every
scrap of the dead looking hedge, including the
outside branches that get the sun
is brown with no new growth at all
this season

I wonder what has caused it (run off from farmyard?) and how to breath
new life
into it.

Looks like a leylandii. And yes, it's dead. It is an ex-hedge. It is no
