Trimming is about clearance and appearance, getting limbs off the roof and shaping the canopy. Structural pruning is about long-term form, correcting weak unions and training young trees so they grow strong instead of splitting later.

Laurel oaks grow fast and are common in newer subdivisions, but that speed comes with weak wood and a tendency to form bad forks. Correcting those forks while the tree is young is far cheaper than removing a split oak fifteen years later.
