View Pruning Wimberley, TX
View pruning is a term that upsets many arborists (not my favorite subject either). It is not ideal and in most cases has a detrimental effect on the overall health of the tree. It is controversial. Generally, view pruning involves reducing the height of the tree to see over the top, or in the case of extremely tall trees, generally involves opening up the tree through the center to see through it.
View pruning is extremely difficult to bid, and in most cases tree care companies generally end up having to bid it on an hourly basis because it is very time consuming, generally is on slopes where brush cleanup is a nightmare, and as the trees in the front are pruned, other trees behind them are opened up and need pruning also. Most reputable tree care companies generally offer it as one of their services out of necessity. It can be done with minimum impact to the tree, but generally needs to be done yearly and in the winter for minimum impact. Aspects of height reduction such as drop-crotching and yearly pollarding are often used. I will do view pruning where it can be done with minimum impact to the trees, and do understand how a good view can impact the value of a property
