living hedge
I find "hedges" alone not enough.
Having worked in this field quite extensively, the (source) term provided to me, several times, was "living hedge", from different authors and for different (tropical) plants, as it's common practice throughout the world.
I found an occurrence of the term in the link below.

Well, difficult to address this question as my source texts did not deal with environment specifcally...
As explained by our colleagues "living" hedge means that the hedge is made of plant species that are thick or bushy enough to make a hedge/fence.

hedges
While "haie vive" does refer to a particular type of hedge, it is generally (mis)used for hedges in general.
At least it seemed to me that "haie vive" referred to one comprising particular types of plants. The following suggests it is simply in opposition to a wooden fence or a dead hedge!!!
Haie vive : Clôture faite de végétaux vivants (arbres, arbustes épineux, lianes), par opposition aux clôtures de bois mort (haies sèches). ...

A la fin du XVIIIe siècle, l'académie française1 définit la haie comme une « Clôture faite d'épines, de ronces, de sureau, &c. ou seulement de branchages entrelacés », en précisant qu'appelle « Haie vive, Une haie d'épines, ou d'autres plantes de même espèce qui ont pris racine ». En 1798, les académiciens ajoutent qu'on appelle « Haie morte ou sèche, Celle qui est faite d'épines ou d'autres bois morts entrelacés. »

To the best of my knowledge, in English a hedge has never been anything other than a live one. Note that we also have the word "hurdle" – "a portable frame made of interlaced twigs etc. used as a temporary fence or enclosure" – and that the 100-m hurdle running event is the "100 m haies".
And in case anyone knows a place called "Le Plessis", the word comes from the folding of hedge branches into gaps in the hedge to fill it in, in much the same way as hurdles are formed (from dead wood).

Presumably, then, in the absence of any specific indications of what is meant, "haie" (in the "enclosure" sense) should be translated as "hedge, hurdle, or fence" !!!

: Just "hedge" was my initial reaction, given a) the murs "secs" just before an b) the potential confusion with any other kind of "haie" - the 100m sort being exactly what I was going to mention !

multi-species hedge
La 'haie vive' (ou 'haie libre' ou 'haie vivante') permet ainsi de ne pas perdre d'espace dans le jardin contrairemant à la tristesse bien trop habituelle des haies mono-espèces, celles-ci de plus favorisant par essence la diffusion des maladies.

La haie libre ou haie vive
Haie libre en cours de régénération dans le Kent. Le charme, le noisetier, le houx, le sorbier et l'aubépine sont couramment utilisésLa haie libre associe des arbustes à feuilles caduques ou persistantes. Elle est généralement composée de 4 à 8 espèces, choisies pour leur floraison, leur fructification ou leur feuillage automnal décoratif. La taille permet d’équilibrer les différents végétaux entre eux et de limiter un développement excessif.

"natural" (multi-species) hedges
Maybe "natural" does the trick?
