months so wanted to check what the boundary looked like from the other side.

When I checked, there are quite large patches stretching high up the length
of the conifers. Any ideas on what may be causing this and why on the back
only? I wondered if maybe the people who maintain the area being my garden
have been putting something on it or damaged them in some way?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Many thanks

As mentioned above, pruning would be prime suspect (without seeing the tree's to be sure), coniferous trees dont regrow once cut back beyond the green.
Copper nails would do absolutely nothing, its an old wifes tale.
