Anyone know what I can do to save this plant?

There are several possible reasons your Creeping Juniper’s leaves are turning brown.
β˜€οΈ Is the weather in New Jersey super hot lately? If this is true, then your Creeping Juniper needs to be watered more frequently.
▫️ Pest could also be the culprit. Any pest can be treated by regularly watering to knock off any pest (such as mites or worms) that are harming the leaves. Or spray the leaves with Neem Oil, but don’t use this product when the temperature is at its hottest.
▫️Blight disease may also be a culprit. This disease will first turn the green leaves yellow and as the disease progresses, the yellow leaves will turn brown. To treat this disease, you should trim off the brown damaged leaves and then treat the Creeping Juniper with a fungicide, like Neem Oil. Or you can use any copper fungicides.
πŸ™I hope your plant will make a speedy recovery.
