From their general shape and growth habit, I would say they appear to be Leyland cypress.

Thanks Mitchell. I'll stop by a nursery today and ask to see them.

If your goal is to plant that same tree(s) on your property, please be aware that Leyland cypress has a reputation as an undependable tree because of its susceptibility to seridium canker disease. You might consider some other evergreen trees or large shrubs as alternatives.
