      <image:caption>Our arborist developed a plan to help a homeowner on Old Mission Peninsula restore their view of East Bay without sacrificing privacy. Initially, the homeowner believed the cedar trees needed to be removed entirely to open up the view. After learning they also valued the natural screening the trees provided from neighboring properties, our arborist recommended a selective stem removal plan and pruning approach instead. The result was a restored view, preserved privacy, healthier trees, and significant savings by avoiding unnecessary removals.</image:caption>
