Palm service

Planting & Installation

Site evaluation, soil preparation, bracing and establishment care, planned before the palm ever arrives.

Installation crews handle site evaluation, soil preparation, irrigation coordination and establishment care so new palms survive their first seasons.

Pit depth and width, backfill zones, guy bracing and the irrigation run — the four decisions that determine whether a new palm establishes.

What drives the price

Palm work is priced by site conditions, not by a flat rate. Height and trunk diameter, access for trucks and cranes, debris volume, irrigation needs, permit requirements and scheduling all move the number. Compare written estimates that spell out scope, cleanup and who pulls permits.

Questions to ask a provider

  1. 01Are you licensed and insured for this scope, and can I see current documents?
  2. 02Is the estimate written, itemised and inclusive of cleanup and disposal?
  3. 03Who is responsible for permits, street closures or crane staging?
  4. 04What happens if site conditions differ from the estimate?
