Why Palm Tree Maintenance Matters in Newlands
Safety, Aesthetics & Property Value
Palms add that tropical flair to a Newlands garden, but left unchecked, they can quickly become hazards. Dead fronds may fall, seed-pods attract pests, and unshaped crowns can block light or views of Table Mountain. Regular maintenance keeps them safe, sharp and value-enhancing for your property.
Palm Health, Pest & Disease Prevention
Cape Town’s climate (especially around the slopes of Newlands) can bring wind, storms and pests that target palms. A maintenance plan gives early detection of pest infestation or nutrient deficiency, so your palm stays strong for years.
