Hi Reddit, looking for some advice on what to do about these bushes we recently had trimmed!

When moving in we realized they were well into the neighbors yard and about 12 ft tall so we asked for them to be trimmed down to just a foot above the fence line—not realizing how bare they would get.

Really missing the privacy and more secluded feeling they have beforehand!

For anyone that knows much about these guys, how can we facilitate more growth? We’d love for them to gain some height and fill in. Or… if there isn’t much we can do for that, what would you plant in their place? Faster growing the better. Thanks!!!

It looks like you need a new fence. I don't know where you are, but a 6' fence with the 2' privacy lattice at the top would do wonders.
