Hi Joe,
It would be hard to tell, but maybe you can follow up on some of these possibilities
Pinus echinata Shortleaf Pine
Pinus taeda Loblolly Pine
Pinus virginiana Virginia Pine
Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus)

Then, too, it might be a fir and not a pine at all.
As to the other tree, it could be a juniper, or a yew, or maybe a larch or fir. I can't tell from the description, but if you can post a pic, I'm sure we can get it pinned down.
Regards,
Matt
