Need a little clarification so that we can explain to a customer the difference in services:

1. Trim back enough of a bush or shrub to maintain the existing shape and / or size of the shrub or bush.... What would you call this?

2. Trim back large portions of a bush or shrub so as to alter the shape and size of the shrub or bush.... What would you call this?

Is there specific terminology that is universal or do I have to explain this in detail every time we are giving an estimate?

This is a result of a guy that being a pain....says that not enough was taken off each bush....first started off as a complaint that we did not trim his bushes that were just going into bloom...As a general rule of thumb we don't trim bushes that are just starting their bloom cycle....it's one of the characteristics that those bushes are chosen by doing such would eliminate one of the main characteristics.
