Tree question...

So I've got this pine tree in my backyard, I hate the thing but my wife won't let me cut it down. However, there's a big hole in the branches and they hang low enough that the grass doesn't grow in the shade....

Anyhow, can I trim the branches up another 5 feet or so all the way around without damaging the tree too much??

than another 5ft up may be too much, cant tell for scale how low those branches sag but couple feet just to give you and yours enough headroom should do the trick, you can use that excuse not to make too much work for yourself, KEEP THE WIFE HAPPY, and if you really want to get rid of it there are other ways and she will never be the wiser
