These is part of the leylandii family and will continue to grow like a weed year on year, removing a lot of nutriment from the soil and taking up more and more space. Unless you are totally attached to them I personally would dig out and replace with something that does not leave the area around it an arid desert.

You could trim them as if they were a hedge, but don't cut into brown wood.

Might have been better to choose another plant if you don't want it higher than seven feet. But yes, you'll have to cut them, probably every year, and they will bush out a bit more so you may need to trim the sides as well.
