  Going by the glorious colour I would say  Metasequoia  glyptostroboides....common name Dawn redwood.
  A deciduous conifer.
  
  However  in your 1st pic it is difficult to see detailMore pics below see link..

  I know there’s only a few conifers that drop their needles, and one being Dawn Redwood, but the ones I’ve seen are a lot more cone shaped ?

  Your 2nd pic  looks a perfectly normal shape for a Dawn redwood...a fabulous example.
  Please compare the leaves/needles on your tree to my pic.
  Do they match?
  
  Normally the bottom branches get removed to reveal the interesting trunk...see pics in my link
