Viewscape Clearing

 V&V offers fully integrated viewscape clearing including forestry mulching and residential/commercial tree services.  At V & V we believe sustainability means doing it right the first time. Viewscape clearing is more than simply chainsawing a few trees down or mulching brush. It is a skill demanding attention to detail, ecological sensitivity, safety and an understanding of a landowner’s long-term goals. We understand that for many mountain residents the quality of their viewscape is the single most important criteria in home or site selection.  In addition to comprehensive field services, we offer mapping and consulting services to help assist you with your home site and viewscape planning. 

Important Considerations During Viewscape Clearing

In haste to obtain dramatic viewscapes, landowners rarely get the information they need to formulate wise strategies.  Considerations such as increased solar gain, habitat, wind and weather impacts on buildings, as well as effects on remaining vegetation and drainage, are seldom thoroughly considered. For instance, many homeowners clear mature hardwoods from viewsheds without thinking about damage to wildlife habitat, especially songbirds, or how to deal with the successional vegetation that immediately arises. We believe these considerations should be brought to the attention of our clients, many of whom have already suffered the efforts of less knowledgeable or conscientious service providers.
