This is my neighbors bush which she asked for help on. I'm not sure what kind of bush it is. It is a low soft bush about 6 feet wide and 4 feet deep. It is an evergreen. One side of it has gone completely bare. The is no dead wood. The wood you see in the "dead" spot all is green at the end. Something is causing the gaping hole to appear. Her husband wants her to rip it up and start over. In this picture, it looks pretty good because it was taken from the top front. In the next post, I'll show you what's happening to it.

Any suggestions on what to do?
