very sad evergreen 1 of 2

[HGrep]

Hi everyone,
In the home we moved into a year & a half ago there about 20 very sad looking evergreens. (2 different types; I'll post the next in a separate post) I am sure it is a basic evergreen around here but I never learned a thing about trees before

It is very sparse looking & leaves have never really been so green.

There are a couple other trees I might ask about in separate posts, as well. Sorry, I wanted to ID all of these this Spring so I can decide who stays & who goes!

Much thanks!

I tried rotating the picture but no go. But if clicked on it opens right side up. If anyone knows how to change the rotation, I can try to fix it!

I'm going to guess Arborvitae or maybe cypress.

Arborvitae I.e. white cedar.

You can chew the leaves for vitamin C.

I'm no expert, but in my experience if these look "sad", make sure they're getting direct sunlight. The evergreens that don't get it will probably shown brown on that side. Also, water is always important. I'd suggest making a judgement as to which can be brought back to health based on these locational facts, then take action after deciding. Cheers.

Yes, I agree with benali on that. They can make a decent landscape plant if you fix them up.
