Palm Tree Removal

Before you look at removing a palm tree, you should gain council approval and consult with a qualified arborist from Bob & Ben The Tree Men.

A member of our team will conduct a thorough assessment of the palm tree to determine the best way to remove it from the property. This can involve scaling the palm tree and slicing it into sections or utilising a crane to lift it from the ground. 

We’ll then use a wood chipper to break it down into smaller pieces so we can remove it from the site.

During palm tree trimming, we aim to reduce the number of leaves or fronds we remove. Cutting too many can cause it to become weak or unhealthy as the leaves provide the plant with its food supply so it can grow.

Palm tree stumps are challenging to remove due to the roots growing horizontally and vertically. They can also go as deep as a metre into the soil. 

Your best course of action is to speak with a qualified arborist from Bob & Ben The Tree Men to determine the safest way to completely remove a palm tree stump.

You should consider removing your palm tree if it is diseased, dead or threatening your property and the people around it.

Palm trees in the Sutherland Shire are protected under the council’s Development Control Plan. 

However, you can remove a palm tree without approval in the instance:

• The palm tree is dead or dying
• The palm tree is within three meters of a building
• The palm tree is in a fire zone

The cost of palm tree removal varies depending on factors such as the tree’s height, condition and accessibility. Contact Bob & Ben The Tree Men for a free, no-obligation quote to get an accurate estimate for this type of work.

As long as you can provide our team access to the property, you can go about your day while we remove your palm tree.
