How often should palm trees be trimmed in Florida?

Most Florida palms need trimming once or twice a year. Remove dead and fully brown fronds and seed stalks. Green fronds feed the palm and should stay.

Should I hurricane cut my palms before storm season?

No. University of Florida IFAS research shows that stripping green fronds, often called a hurricane cut, weakens palms and makes them more likely to fail in high wind. We remove only dead, dying and hanging fronds plus seed pods.

What areas of Florida do you serve?

We serve Florida statewide, including Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Fort Myers, Naples, Daytona Beach, Melbourne, Gainesville, Ocala, Lakeland, Tallahassee and Pensacola.

Trimmed the right way

Green fronds feed your palm. We leave them on.

Many crews strip palms down to a few fronds and call it a hurricane cut. University of Florida IFAS research shows that weakens the palm and makes it more likely to snap in a storm. We follow the Florida standard instead.

How we trim

Full, rounded crown

We remove dead, brown and hanging fronds plus seed stalks, and keep green fronds at or above the 9 to 3 o'clock line.

What we won't do

The "hurricane cut"

Stripping green fronds starves the palm, thins the trunk over time, and leaves the bud exposed to wind.

Services

Everything your trees need, one call.

Palm trimming

Dead fronds, boots and seed stalks removed, crown cleaned up, debris hauled away.

Seed pod removal

Stop the mess of falling dates and berries on pool decks, cars and pavers.

Tree trimming

Oaks and hardwoods thinned and raised off roofs, driveways and power drops.

Tree and palm removal

Dead, diseased or leaning trees taken down safely and cut to the ground.

Stump grinding

Stumps ground below grade so you can sod, plant or pave over the spot.

Storm prep and cleanup

Dead limbs off before the season, and downed trees cleared after a storm.

When to trim in Florida

Book before storm season, not during it.

Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. Trimming in late winter and spring gets dead wood down before the wind arrives, and crews have more openings.
