Slender Hinoki False Cypress looks like she is dying and not sure why :( Only planted last year. Any suggestions to keep her alive?

I planted several Emerald Aborvitae in a wall formation about 3’ apart and over half of them died. What should I do?
Zone 5b/6A seems to depend on the map. I planted several Emerald Aborvitae in a wall formation about 3’ apart and over half of them died. They were 3’ tall when I planted them. If I had the money, I’d just replace the dead ones and try again, but that was a pricey investment for me.
I watered them every day after planting. There are two giant trees about 30 feet away from the closest Avorvitae, so maybe the roots were taking some of the nutrients? Its not like the Aborvitae closest to the big trees were the ones that died, there seemed to be no rhyme or reason for which died and which lived. Now I have a “wall” of short trees where 2/3 are dead.

Does anyone know what is causing this on my oak tree in CA? Black tar substance

Moved into a new place at the beginning of the year. Yard came with two cherry blossom trees, owner couldn’t remember the specific kind.
In March, they started putting out blooms for a couple weeks before the temperatures dipped down below freezing for a few nights. Afterwards all the blooms and leafs they had put out died off. Here in the last few weeks though, all this new growth started back like in the picture.
My question is, is there anything I need to do to help the trees out or do I just leave them as is and let them do their thing?
Thanks for any advice in advance.

Thirty six years ago we purchase a wooded lot to build our house. It was pretty dense so we hadn't a clue of what trees were there. Once the lot was cleared minimally to just create room to build, we saw they had saved a mature dogwood tree. It was perfectly positioned to create a really nice natural area right by the house around it. The first few years it struggled a bit but it has been overall healthy, apart from increased pruning as it declined. This year about half tthe limbs failed to come out after winter. It just seems its time is just about up. So, are we better taking the tree out immediately and replanting, or can we plant somewhat close to the old tree and get established for a year or two? Also, should we try to burn out the stump after a year to try to accelerate decomposition and create more space for new roots?

I had an animal of some sort eat my favorite pine tree over winter. I wrap any of my young trees for protection normally but I’ve never had one tough my conifers. What are the odds it would ever regrow? I assume I know at need to dig it out now? It’s a blue Swiss pine. Here is a picture of it from the nursery and what it looks like now.

Before I even ask the council I just want to check if anyone on here has dealt with this kind of situation and been successful?
Some details;
The tree is not protected (noTPO)
Council: Staffordshire CC
Front garden depth 6.7m width 5m
Proposal for the grass verge would be "no dig" method to protect roots and the driveway would also be no dig with a permiable surface.
Multiple houses on the same street have driveways and boundary walls significantly closer to similar Lime trees.

Looks like the neighborhood deer had a field day with our 5 year old white pine. Any tips on how to revive it? I definitely plan to cage it going forward, but curious is it can survive what happened over the rutting season.
