A close-up of the foliage and cone in the first picture would really help.
Suspect this is a cypress of some sort, maybe even Lawson's Cypress Chamaecyparis lawsoniana which has loads of cultivars. |

1. Think this is a juniper as it feels spikey to the touch and has sharp juvenile leaves and scale leaves. 
2. Leyland Cypress (probably) cone (and leaf close-up): 
I owe you thanks: I found my first Juniper Shieldbug on one of these!

Not a juniper - hmm maybe Lawsons cypress - cypresses are not my strong point!

Junipers don't get that big. By the time they're a a couple of meters high they get very straggly. In growth habit, they look a bit like gorse.

I'd say almost certainly a Lawson var. (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana var.).
Lovely tree.
