Proper palm trimming, not over-pruning

The most common mistake with palms is over-trimming — stripping so many green fronds that the palm is left with a "hurricane cut" or "rooster tail." Palms pull nutrients from their fronds, so over-cutting starves the tree, weakens the trunk and invites disease. We remove only what should come off: dead and dying (brown) fronds, loose boots, seed pods and flower stalks — leaving the healthy crown intact so your palm stays strong and looks right.

Palms we service

  • Coconut palms — frond and coconut removal so nothing drops on cars or people.
  • Royal palms — tall, self-cleaning palms that still need heavy fronds managed safely.
  • Queen & date palms — regular frond, pod and boot removal.
  • Sabal / cabbage palms — Florida's state tree, skinned and cleaned up.
  • Clusters & specimen palms — careful trimming to keep that manicured look.

Coconuts & seed pods removed

Falling coconuts and heavy seed pods are a real liability over driveways, walkways and pool decks. We clear them as part of the trim and haul everything off. Call (954) 754-6673 for a free estimate.

Common questions

How often should palms be trimmed?
Most palms need trimming once a year, though some — like coconuts over a driveway — are done more often to keep fruit and heavy fronds from dropping.
What is a "hurricane cut" and why is it bad?
A hurricane cut strips most of the green fronds, leaving only a few pointing up. It looks tidy for a few weeks but starves and weakens the palm, and it does NOT help it survive storms. We trim palms properly so they stay healthy.
Do you remove coconuts and seed pods?
Yes — removing coconuts, dates and seed pods is part of the trim, so nothing heavy drops on your car, deck or family.
Can you trim very tall royal palms?
Yes. We use climbers and bucket trucks to reach tall royals and other big palms safely.
