I have the same kind of row of cedars...except maybe 50 foot tall.
They are all trimmed up..high enough to walk under. A few years back, I dumped my leaves, from the fall season, under the farthest cedar tree in a spread-out layer about a foot deep.
Within a couple years the tree started turning brown. Had a guy out to look at it and the first thing he said.."a foot layer or more of leaves cuts off the oxygen for the roots and will kill a tree."
I never knew that...that tree is completely dead now. I'll take it out this fall.
