    I moved into my first house and have a bunch of shrubs in the front yard. I need to figure out how to prune them, and I'm totally clueless about plants.

    A dwarf cultivar of Arborvitae Thuja occidentalis. Again, best not pruned, or at most, a very light trim.

    Thank you again. Each recommendation to not prune a shrub is making my life a little easier. =)

    Looks like it could be a Chamaecyparis to me.
