Thin barren branches... inconsistant across a lot of the trees. Are therse yellowing leaves or browning leaves?

Yellowing from too much water? Lawn sprinklers overspray and water the trees 3 times a week. Maybe i could put some plastic under the mulch to reduce water? But do my roots need to air?

The tree seems to not have a stong enough trunk to hold itself up. Large lower branches grown fast but aren't necessary. Will trimming them help the tree spend its resources on bulking up its trunk?

Mixed Health Trees
I have 40 Podacarpus trees surrounding my backyard to screen the ugliness out. They are all in varying degrees of health. Some lush and full and growing tall. Others are looking desperate and sad. Anyone have any thoughts - More water, less water, thin them out, top them.
Thought about possibly cutting the low branches on every other tree to make them look like a tree in hopes they would grow taller while the nontrimmed would fill in the sunny underbelly?
