How much does palm tree trimming cost?
Palm trimming prices depend on the palm's height, the type of palm, how many fronds and seed pods need to come off, and whether the trunk is being skinned. FR Tree Service gives a free quote for every palm job. Call (909) 684-6220.
What is palm tree skinning?
Skinning removes the old frond bases (the "boots") from a palm trunk to leave a clean, smooth trunk. It improves the look of the palm and removes a place for pests and debris to collect.
How often should palm trees be trimmed?
Most palms in Southern California need dead fronds and seed pods removed about once a year. Avoid over-trimming: cutting off healthy green fronds weakens the palm.
Do you trim tall palm trees?
Yes. FR Tree Service has climbers who trim and skin tall palms, and a ground crew that chips the fronds and cleans up.
