Pruning alder- expert thoughts needed

I have been asked to reduce and thin the crown on two mature 60' alders bordering two properties. After a prolonged dispute between two neighbours, solicitors letters have finally resolved this.

This is the first time I have worked on an alder, and would be grateful for any advice, I have been asked to start as soon as possible, but I'm led to believe the winter is the best time to prune alder if at all, Any advice is appreciated, many thanks Andy.

Is the alder straight up, like a ladder?

 

Are there any points to reduce the height to, without "topping" the tree?

 

Will a reduction on its own not suffice as usually the growth on an alder its out at the tips.

 

Sometimes pics tell a thousand words:biggrin:
