Palm Tree Trimming in Los Angeles, CA

Dead fronds and seed pods off, trunks skinned clean — Los Angeles, Los Angeles County.

Los Angeles palms are the ones nobody else wants. Half of them are well past forty feet, which puts them out of reach of every ladder and most lifts, so they get climbed with spikes and a line or they do not get done.

The work is the dead fronds, the seed pods before they drop and sprout across the yard, and the old frond bases — the boots — skinned back down the trunk where you want a clean one.

Palm Trimming & Skinning in Los Angeles

A dry frond skirt over a Los Angeles roof in September is the exact thing a fire inspector writes up, and the exact thing an ember finds.

Street and yard palms everywhere, most of them decades old and tall enough that fronds and seed pods come down on cars, roofs and people below
Overhead service lines run through the canopy on a lot of residential streets, so clearance work is as much about what is around the limb as the limb itself
Dense blocks with narrow driveways and street parking, which decides where the truck and the chipper can actually sit
Santa Ana winds test every tree that has not been thinned, and the ones that fail are usually the ones carrying too much weight on the ends

Questions about palm trimming & skinning in Los Angeles

How often do palms need doing?

Usually once a year, and the year is best ended before fire season rather than after it. If yours is dropping fronds onto a walkway or a car, it is already overdue.

Do you skin the trunk?

Yes, if you want that look. Skinning takes the old frond bases off and leaves a clean trunk. Say so at the estimate — it is more time up the tree and it belongs in the price.
