Palm Tree Trimming in Pasadena, CA

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

Pasadena palms tend to be old, which mostly means tall. Once a palm is past the height of a ladder the only way it gets done properly is climbed, and plenty of them here are well past that.

Dead fronds come down, seed pods come off before they drop and sprout across the yard, and the old frond bases are skinned back down the trunk if you want the clean look rather than the shaggy one.

Palm Trimming & Skinning in Pasadena

A palm dropping seed pods over a Pasadena lawn plants a crop of seedlings you will be pulling out of the beds for the next two years.

Some of the oldest and largest trees in the county — coast live oaks and deodar cedars that were mature before the houses under them were built
Many of those trees are protected, so a removal here can be a question for the city before it is a question for a crew
Craftsman houses with deep eaves and low roofs, which puts limbs onto the roof itself rather than merely over it
Big canopies over narrow older streets, so almost everything is rigged and lowered rather than dropped

Questions about palm trimming & skinning in Pasadena

Do you skin the trunk?

Yes, if you want that look. It takes the old frond bases off and leaves a clean trunk. Say so at the estimate — it is more time up the tree and it belongs in the price.

It is taller than the house. Is that a problem?

No. Tall palms get climbed with spikes and a line, which is how most of the ones here are done.
