Often, less is more. Minimal, routine pruning to keep things in check and looking healthy allows plants to be their natural selves. I love plant carnage but I love preventing it too! Cut in little windows so growth can come in the inside of the plant so pruning more off if you need to do that doesn’t make it look so sparse. If you prune with electric hedge trimmers you could be pruning off the buds so watch out for that!

I can't stand a shrub with a flat top. God didn't make square shrubbery. I needs rounding off.
