Palm Tree Removal

Palm trees are gorgeous and usually don’t require much upkeep or maintenance. Usually palm tree care is cosmetic, but even sturdy trees can get sick or grow too much. 

There are many reasons palm tree removal may be necessary. However, these trees are difficult to remove and require help from a professional, so don’t do it alone!

The Majestic Tree Service team has the right tools and gear to safely remove any palm trees causing issues on your San Ramon and San Jose property. Our ISA-certified arborists can also assess your tree if you have any questions about whether or not you should remove it.

How do you remove a palm tree?

Cutting down a palm tree is complicated, and requires the right tools and expert help.

We at Majestic Tree Service remove palm trees with the following steps:

1. Assessment: An arborist will check the tree’s size and location. They will also look at its overall health, helping decide the best way to remove it.
2. Preparation: We will prepare the area to reduce damage and keep everyone safe during removal.
3. Trimming: The palm tree’s fronds and trunk will be trimmed down to a manageable size.
4. Removal: The remaining trunk will be carefully cut down and removed from the property.
5. Stump Grinding: If desired, the tree stump will be ground down below ground level to allow for new landscaping or construction.

Once the tree itself is removed, we will also grind the stump to prevent it from growing back in the future. When you choose us, you’re signing up for comprehensive tree removal.

When to Remove a Palm

Palm trees are hardy, but there are a few situations where it’s better to remove them. The following are a few of those reasons:

• When the tree is diseased. Fungal and bacterial diseases can greatly damage a tree. This risk increases when the tree’s health is weak due to other issues. If a tree is too sick to be worth recovering, removal is safest. This also decreases the risk of it infecting other nearby trees.
• When the tree is too large. In residential areas, trees can grow too large. This may endanger people and property. If your palm tree is too large, it may need to be removed.
• When the tree’s roots are too large. Large trees often have big root systems. When these roots grow too much, they can harm nearby structures. This includes homes, buildings, and roads.
• When the tree is leaning. If your tree is leaning, it may be recoverable – but it could also be dangerous. Severely leaning trees are at a higher risk of falling and should be removed before they can fall on their own.

Benefits of Taking out a Palm Tree

Some benefits of taking out a palm tree include:

• Safety: If a palm tree is diseased, damaged, or dead, it can pose a safety risk to your property and those around it. Removing the tree eliminates this risk.
• Space: Palm trees can become quite large. Their roots may damage sidewalks, driveways, and even the foundation of your home. Removing the tree frees up space and prevents future damage.
• Aesthetics: A poorly shaped or overgrown palm tree can take away from your property’s beauty. Removing it can improve your curb appeal.
