Why Palm Tree Maintenance Is Vital
Falling Fronds & Safety Risk
Dead fronds are heavy and unpredictable. In the wind, they can fall, damaging property or endangering people. Maintaining them reduces liability and risk.
Disease & Pest Prevention
Palms are susceptible to pests and fungal issues. A maintenance program catches infestations early when treatment is easier and less costly.
Clean, Beautiful Appearance & View Preservation
Part of the appeal of palms is their elegance. Overgrown, ragged, or messy palms reduce curb appeal and may block views. Regular maintenance keeps them slim, healthy, and visually striking.
