#1 has flat foliage pads so may be a Chamaecyparis. It is obviously a variegated variety.
Not really sure about #2. Looks a little like Cryptomeria but the foliage is longer and more open than typical.

The first one is one of the many variegated Chamaecyparis lawsoniana cultivars.
The second one is Juniperus communis ''Oblonga Pendula''
