“Bottoming out” trees, or cutting off the lower branches takes a bushy looking/overgrown tree and lets you see through the tree to what is beyond it. This opens up your yard in a great way and also makes the trees looks great.
Notice in the first picture of these two chestnut trees, how your view nearly stops with the tree.

In the after picture, you get to enjoy the trunk and branches more. Notice how you can see past the trees to view in the distance.
Chestnuts in their prickly husks that will turn brown and drop off the tree for fall squirrel treats.
