What a *terrible* mess. Why didn't they just have them felled and then
start again with a decent hedge, I wonder?

I wonder why you can't mind your own business, bitch?

Not a pine. Not sure I agree with Pam though about it being a
cryptomeria - if it was it would probably survive for the owner to
mutilate it again. No tree surgeon I've ever worked with would do
anything like this, in fact they'd probably pull the culprit
apart.................very slo................................wly.

Well, it will probably SURVIVE, anyway. It is an outrageous mess,
and will regrow into a shapeless blob, but I don't know how you CAN
prune a conifer back that hard at all cleanly. Have you any ideas?

The centre of the picture shows what look very much like cypress
cones, and the leaf growth pattern fits, so my guess is that it may
be a cypress of sorts. But I am no conifer expert.
