Can somebody identify this please?

I'm new to landscaping and recently moved into a house that had a lot of it. Some of it is great and a lot of it had to be changed because it was not done well. This is one shrub on the side of my house that I like and I want to put another in my front yard. It's about 3 feet tall and I have three others on the side that look like it but are more like 4-6 feet tall. I was guessing Dwarf Hinoki False Cypress but I honestly have no idea so I thought I would come to the experts. By the way, I'm in zone 6 if that helps. Thanks.

RE: Can somebody identify this please?

its a conifer.. and though i care not where you post.. there is a forum for such.. and there is a guru over there that can name ... precisely .. what it is ...

it reminds me more of an arb.. that i have as Thuja occidentalis 'Golden Globe' aka 'Globosa Aurea'

and one 'tell'.. is whether yours was ever sheared.. or if it is natural shape ... the one above.. grows in this shape.. all by its lonesome ... and you should be able to tell by sticking your head in it.. lol ...

coloration varies thru the year ... so i dont know if yours is the yellow version ... but you might want to change the search at the link to ... Thuja occidentalis 'Globosa'

good luck
