Telecommunications towers—tall, industrial structures like lattice or monopoles—often clash with the surrounding landscape, particularly in scenic, historic, or residential areas, interrupting the skyline or natural vistas. While the public demands reliable cell service, local residents frequently complain they are not adequately informed or involved in the decision-making process until it’s too late, leading to distrust of telecom companies and local government.

Saratoga Associates has extensive experience providing Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) services for cell tower projects, allowing us to systematically analyze, predict, and ultimately minimize the negative visual effects on the community and landscape.
