Prune it so it is wider at the bottom than at the top. That will keep it full to the base. If soil care has been neglected for a long time, some fish meal or blood meal might be indicated, too.

Feed the soil, privet is a gross feeder so mulch with composted bark or similar or gently fork in some compost or other good humus rich matter.
