I moved the thread to a more suitable forum. What type tree/bush are you describing? Can you post pictures of it so we can see what you see??

I assume that Bob means an Arborvitae. It is normal for it to go brown where it is shaded from sunlight.

They were planted too close to each other but that is pretty much normal. People don't realize how much they will grow. When I was a kid we had one that was thirty feet tall if it was an inch.

I would rake out the fallen "leaves" between the trees, anything that is loose should be removed. Otherwise they look pretty normal to me.

I've never fertilized one nor do I know anyone that has done so. They definitely need the dead leaves raked out from between them and cutting some of the dead-looking branches from the interior won't hurt.

Do a Google for Arborvitae, there are lots of good articles.
