I’m not sure if they’re all the same type because their size differs, but could also be the times each were planted? But I also want to know if they flower at all? And when? I live in central Florida now and know NOTHING about anything related to Florida gardening, so you guys’ help is extremely valuable to me hahaha show the far away view and then the up close view of each

Claire do you mean me? I don't remember mentioning it but your question is relevant. Our house smelled terrible when we bought it due to un-tended pets. Gutting down to beams, studs, and joists took care of that though! Only the master bedroom and finishing stuff like baseboards are left to do, Husband is working on it slowly and sporadically as work allows. Which is practically never...

And just for fun, it could be a marble-mimic porcelain tile....or a travertine or travertine look tile. So...to narrow this down, it could be: 1. Porcelain tile 2. Marble 3. Travertine 4. Porcelain tile that looks like one of the above Fun isn't it? Go for the colour in the pic. If you can find movement like that, then good for you! If not, you will still have the "look" (look often comes from colour...).

Can someone tell me what kind of ficus are these, tree or columns?

Looks like ficus nitida. You can keep them trimmed as a large hedge, or they can be "limbed up" and allowed to grow into a very large tree. Beware of the invasive roots. If you want a hedge, keep up on the trimming or the plant can get away from you (become too large). Ficus in SoCal has also been ravaged by a fungus disease which is killing a lot of ficus. Keep the cutting tools disinfected before trimming.

First pic looks like a Viburnum. Among the most popular varieties for hedging in Florida are odoratissimum (Sweet Viburnum) and suspensum (Sandankwa). Yours seems to look more like the latter.

Yes - sweet viburnum produces much larger parts.

So it produces flowers then?

They've all been getting maintenance sheared which is probably preventing flowering - use their names to search for pictures of the blooms of each.
