Palm Tree Trimming in Port St. Lucie

Trimmed right, not trimmed hard

The "hurricane cut" - stripping a palm to a few upright fronds - is all over PSL, and it does exactly the wrong thing: it starves the palm and makes it weaker in wind. We remove dead and dying fronds, seed stalks, and hanging boots while leaving a full, healthy crown. The palm looks clean and stays strong.

What's included

• Dead and dying fronds removed at the trunk
• Seed and fruit stalks cut (no more berries staining the driveway or feeding rats)
• Loose boots skinned where you want that smooth-trunk look
• Everything hauled - fronds don't go in your weekly pickup pile unless you want them there

What it costs

Most palms: $75-$250 per palm depending on height and how long it's been. Skinning tall sabals costs more than a quick queen palm cleanup. Multiple palms on one visit price better per tree - get the whole row done at once.

Timing

Palms can be trimmed year-round in South Florida. If you only do it once a year, late spring is the sweet spot: seed stalks come off before they drop, and the canopy is cleaned up before storm season.
