Moved into my house 2 years ago and have no idea what these bushes/trees are called if anyone could please help me name them I would be very grateful thank you
Bad case of lollipopping instead of pruning.
Could you put a close up of each of the leaves. The shape of the bush is not true and does not help.
They are gnomes not smurfs.
these leaves are in the same order as original pictures of pictures not sure what you mean by lollipopping rather than pruning

Top one looks like Philadelphus or Mock Orange, no idea about the second one and the last one looks like a Tamarisk.
Lollypopping means severely pruning a shrub or tree so that the plant looks like a lollypop. Bare stem/trunk and round head of leaves.
Whoever had the house prior to you moving in has made a real mess of those shrubs.
