Default Type of evergreen, what tree is this?

I have these two trees in my yard that I am not sure what they are exactly. One is 6ft the other is 8ft were planted 1-2 years ago. I have tried to identify on my own and the closest looking trees I found were Leyland Cypress or Northern White Cedar but neither seem to be spot on. Can anyone help me?

Sorry I forgot to introduce myself earlier... I am new to this forum and wish to say hello to everyone! I joined this site not only to get my previous tree dilemma answered but also for future help with my new yard. I just moved into my house a year ago and have lots of landscaping to do. Thanks for viewing my post and I hope one of you is able to help me identify the two trees that I posted pictures of. Thanks again. KW

The leaves don't really look like Eastern White Cedar, and the tree structure doesn't look like cypress. Could you provide a closeup of one of the branches and the leaves? Say about 4 to 6 inches of branch?

Might be some sort of arborvitae

Looks more like a Juniper than a cedar
