Palm Tree Trimming in Glendale, CA

Dead fronds and seed pods off, trunks skinned clean — Glendale, Los Angeles County.

A dry frond skirt is fuel, and in Glendale that matters more than it does on the flat. Palms on hillside lots often sit above a roof rather than beside one, so what comes off them lands on the house below.

The work is the same either way: dead fronds down, seed pods off before they drop and sprout, and the old boots skinned back if you want a clean trunk. Most of these are climbed, because they are well past what a ladder reaches.

Palm Trimming & Skinning in Glendale

On a slope, whatever comes off a palm lands on whatever is downhill of it — which is usually somebody's roof rather than open ground.

Questions about palm trimming & skinning in Glendale

Does a dry palm really matter for fire clearance?

It is one of the first things anyone inspecting a hillside property looks at. A skirt of dead fronds over a roof is dry fuel sitting directly on the thing you are trying to protect.

How often should palms be done here?

Once a year, and best finished before the dry months rather than during them.
