What type of woods area trees with cones and needle like leaves?
Not entirely sure what you mean, but I think you are referring to "coniferous" trees, various species of pine have needles and cones. Also called "softwoods" in timber, and "evergreen" as most species keep their leaves through winter.
Just remove the lower branches that are in your way. No other pruning is necessary.
