You can, if you have a need, also trim live branches. Most conifers will not

I have a Blue Spruce that has grown tall enough to have its lower
branches impinging into the airspace of my driveway. Every time I
prune one of them back, the branch dies.

Is there a right and wrong way to prune a Blue Spruce?
