These trees....?

We have these trees in our backyard...

This winter, they've grown 3 heads. I'm not sure if its from the snow or just from typical growth...but what am I requesting when I call a landscaper?

Sorry I'm new at this!

The ones along the fence on the inside ?
Those are arborvitae. The snow might have spread them apart, but you can tie them up to keep the cone shape.

Yes those! They look ridiculous now, thats an old pic.

Tying it up will help them come back togehter? Really!?

You can use plastic wire ties, or heavy garden twine.
Or you can just leave them loose and let them spread on their own.

You have to keep cutting them back, trimming them if you want them to stay small.

You would have to be there to make sure they trim them the way you want. Otherwise it varies, many people just let them grow and grow...
