What is Palm Tree Cleaning (& Why You Need It)

Do you have a palm tree in your yard but don’t use professional palm cleaning services?

In this article, our experts will discuss what palm cleaning is, the benefits of investing in it, if you can do it yourself and when to call our qualified team members at Affordable Tree Service for assistance.

What is Palm Tree Cleaning?

Let’s start with the basics. What is palm tree cleaning, exactly?

Palm tree cleaning is fairly self-explanatory, really. It’s simply about removing any dead fronds seeds and other unnecessary hanging foliage from your tree. When cleaning your tree, you should also remove any pods as these attract birds and bats.

Can You DIY Palm Cleaning?

Technically, you can do your own palm tree cleaning. But the question is whether you actually should. Tree maintenance and palm tree cleaning can be very dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing or have the proper qualifications and knowledge to get it done right and efficiently.

It’s also very time consuming and can be quite expensive when you factor in the cost of hiring equipment, obtaining permits and everything else that is involved.

For these reasons we would never recommend you attempt to do palm cleaning on your property yourself. Always contact a professional like those we have on our team at Affordable Tree Service. 

Why You Should Invest in Palm Tree Cleaning

As with other tree maintenance, there are so many benefits of investing in palm tree cleaning services. Here we’ll discuss some of the most common advantages:

Aesthetically Pleasing

When well maintained, palm trees are a great addition to your property, and can give your landscaping a grand appeal. But when you don’t have them regularly cleaned, they can look scraggly and off-putting, which is not great.

This is especially advantageous if you want to increase your curb appeal when selling your property. 

Maintain Tree Health

If you’re going to have palm trees in your yard, you want to make sure they’re healthy. You can do this by ensuring your trees are maintained and professionally cleaned on a regular basis.

Improve Longevity

It almost goes without saying, but a healthier tree will live longer. When you invest in palm cleaning, you are improving your chances of your tree living longer.

Prevents Pests

Pests can destroy not only your palm tree but other plants and foliage on your property. If your palm tree is not cleaned regularly, you run the risk of attracting pests to your home and endangering your plants.

Safer

We’ve mentioned that we would not recommend cleaning palm trees yourself because of the danger involved. That’s one of the benefits of investing in professional tree cleaning. Not only will you get rid of the berries and fronds that could fall and potentially hurt someone, you also don’t have to put yourself at risk because you’ve arranged for a professional to do the work for you.

Save Time & Money

Another thing we touched on before was the cost involved in hiring equipment to do palm tree cleaning. When you choose to work with our professionals, you are essentially saving time and money, and who doesn’t love that?
