Client not quite ready to remove/replace these. Lots of wind damage. What would you guys recommended to make them a bit better looking? Most of the damage is one sided and pruning that off would look terrible. So at a bit of a loss here.

Already recommended replacement.

It looks like a chemical burn. Maybe snow plowed snow around them containing salt/chloride or some other deicer.
 
Its wind burn. Been getting worse slowly and from the wind ward side. They don't get much tlc or water.
Planted in a wind tunnel
 
What a horrid place for a tree to try to grow. Not surprised they are struggling based on those pictures. Is there any soil there?

Is there landscape fabric under the gravel?
