View pruning that gives you the Strait back

Serving Clallam County and Jefferson County

Half the properties on the Peninsula were bought for a view that a fir grew through ten years later. We window, thin, and raise crowns so the water and the Olympics come back — and we do it without topping, because a topped tree is an ugly tree and a future hazard with a deadline.

01How view work actually works

Windowing cuts openings through a crown so the view reads through the tree. Crown raising lifts the bottom of the canopy off your sightline. Selective thinning takes whole limbs back to the trunk so light and water show between what is left. Which mix is right depends on the tree, the angle from your deck, and how the wind loads that slope. That is a conversation we have standing where you actually sit.

We prune to keep the tree structurally sound and looking like a tree. No lion-tailing, no topping, no leaving stubs to sprout into a thicket in two seasons. Good view pruning is the work you barely notice — you just see water where there used to be branches.

02General pruning too

The same saw does quieter work: deadwooding, clearance from roofs and chimneys, fruit trees, ornamentals, and young-tree structure pruning that saves you a removal fifteen years from now. If it grows and needs a cut, we handle it.

Timeline

Most view pruning jobs run half a day to a full day.

What drives the price

Tree count, height, and how much crown has to come out. Windowing two firs off a deck is a different day than opening a whole bluff line.

Every job is quoted onsite, free, and in writing before anything is scheduled.
