Get matched with top trees and shrubs trimming or removal pros in your area

Plan to trim your palm once or twice a year. Most homeowners schedule the work in late spring—May is ideal—so dead fronds are gone before hurricane season hits. Brown fronds, dry leaves, flower pods, or visible storm damage are clear signs it’s time to call a pro. Staying on this schedule protects your property, reduces fire risk, and keeps the tree strong enough to handle summer storms.

A standard palm-trimming visit starts with a health inspection, followed by cutting away dead or overgrown fronds and, if requested, removing flower pods or fruit. Crews should remove all debris and leave the site clean and tidy. Some companies also inspect soil conditions and recommend treatments if they detect pests or nutrient deficiencies. Always confirm exactly what the service covers to avoid any surprise add-ons.
