Why this matters
Palms are not trees — they are monocots, and they require completely different pruning techniques. Improper trimming (over-pruning, or "hurricane cutting") weakens the palm, attracts pests, and can ultimately kill it. Dead fronds and seed pods also pose a real falling hazard to anyone below.
How we do it
Climbing & Access
Palms cannot be climbed with spikes (spikes damage the trunk irreparably). We use ladders, pole saws, or rope climbing systems to access the crown safely.
Dead Frond Removal
Only completely dead (brown) fronds are removed. We never remove green fronds — palms need them for nutrient production and wind resistance.
Seed Pod & Fruit Removal
Seed pods and fruiting bodies are removed — these attract rats, bats, and insects, and can cause a significant mess when they drop.
Crown Cleanup & Debris Removal
All fronds and pods are hauled away or chipped. The area beneath the palm is left spotless.
