Palm tree trimming & removal in the East Valley
Dead fronds and seed pods cut, tall palms trimmed clean, and unwanted palms removed. Call or text (480) 340-7907.
In short: Family Tree Trimming trims and removes palm trees across Apache Junction, Gold Canyon, Mesa and the East Valley. The crew cuts dead fronds and seed pods, trims tall palms by climbing or ladder, and loads the debris on the trailer so the yard is left clean.
Palms are everywhere in the East Valley, from fan palms along Apache Junction streets to tall palms over backyard pools in Mesa and Gilbert. They look great when they are kept up, and messy and risky when they are not. Palms drop heavy fronds and seed pods if they are left untrimmed.
Why trim palms
- Safety. Dead fronds are heavy and come down in monsoon wind, onto roofs, cars, pools and people.
- Pests. A thick skirt of dead fronds is a home for pests.
- Fire risk. Dry fronds burn easily.
- Mess. Seed pods and fruit stain pool decks, patios and driveways.
- Looks. A clean trunk and a full green crown just look better.
How we trim palms
Cody's crew removes dead and hanging fronds and cuts the seed pods and flower stalks. Good palm trimming leaves the green fronds. Over-trimming a palm into a "pineapple" or "rooster tail" stresses it and can weaken it over time. Tall palms are trimmed by a climber or from a ladder, depending on the tree.
Palm removal
Sometimes a palm needs to come out: it is dead, too close to the house, leaning, or you are redoing the yard. The crew cuts the palm down in sections, cuts the trunk into rounds, cuts the stump down low, and hauls the debris away. See tree removal for other trees.
When to trim palms here
Many homeowners have palms trimmed in late spring or early summer, after the flowers start and before monsoon season, so heavy dead fronds are gone before the storms. Read how to get trees ready for monsoon.
Cleanup is part of the job
Palm fronds are bulky and sharp. The crew loads everything onto the trailer and cleans up the yard, so you are not left with a pile.
