Title: Sculpted shrubbery

Some landscaper around here has started a style of pruning and shaping plants.  Several places around here have arbor vitae trees shaped like this.

The one below is along the edge of a golf course, the row above is in an upscale restricted homeowner neighborhood.

Anybody else seeing this style of shrub/tree pruning?   :shrug:  :laf:

Only pruning around here is also called making firewood.

Reminds me of that Monty Python film;  Bring me a shrubbery.

We have a winner!  Deer browse on those small trees (year round in these parts) and eat the tips of branches and foliage from the ground up as high as they can reach.  The bush or tree becomes evenly trimmed.    I took those two pics this morning.  Blacktail deer here.
