Some type of false cypress - chamaecyparis - I'd say, there's 100s of cultivars. White cedar in the USA I believe.

Might be Lawsonii or Leylandii. The fan shaped foliage looks like chamaecyparis rather than juniperus.

Not ideal for bonsai in most cases due to growth pattern - good for the garden though.

Here is a link that might be useful: Chamaecyparis

These may actually be arborvitae, with similar growth habit and much larger, looser foliage. These are suitable for garden design, imparting a vertical design element.
