Are these trees dead?

I think the roots got damaged when the boundary wall was being rebuild last year. I thought that because of the snow and the hot summer that they would reestablish themselves this year but it's not looking good.

I wonder would western red cedar be a better option.
Good growth rates, good screening.

But what sets them aside from leylandi is that you can cut them back to old wood and they regrow. That makes managing them much easier.

What are they like for remaining reasonably green and bushy at the lower level? Say they were being maintained at a constant height of 3 metres or so.

I've noticed that Leylandi are better than Lawson's for this.
