Depending on the location of the palm tree to be removed will depend upon what options can be taken for the palm tree removal process. It could be felled whole or lopped into small manageable pieces.
Felling
In open areas and where space pre-veils, palm trees can be felled using directional cuts and pull ropes, Skilled tree care professionals can cut a scarf (v cut) into the trunk giving a definite direction for the palm tree to fall, and with a second person pulling on the rope to give assistance, The tree care operator then makes a back cut into the trunk until the palm tree moves in the direction of the fall path, The rope person then pulls the rope enough for gravity to take over and do its job.
Lopping
If the palm trees to be removed are located in a confined space, they may require climbing and dismantling in small sections, the tree care professional uses tree spikes, a harness, and ropes to climb the palm tree. The first parts to be removed are the palm fronds, depending on the space available, the leaves are lowered down or thrown into a clear area, or they could be stacked in a suitable spot to act as a cushion for the section of head and trunk to be dropped into. The leaves or fronds are cut close to the butts in order to lessen the weight of the crown. Once all the Palm Fronds (leaves) are removed, the next section to be cut is the crown, or head of the palm tree. Depending on the type of palm tree to be removed, will dictate how the trunk can be cut into sections, with minimum space, the trunk may have to be lowered with ropes and pulleys in small sections so there is minimum disruption to surrounding plants and vegetation, or landscape. The trunk is cut into sizes that are manageable for the task at hand, where space pre-veils, large sections can be cut, when in small or delicate positioning, small manageable piece would be cut.
We mulch all the palm trees we remove. The mulch, although, not visually as pretty as premium forest mulch, is still a very practical and useful product. The palm tree fronds, when processed with the wood chipper, resemble sugar cane mulch when it comes out of the machine. The trunk of the palm trees, when mulched, resemble a course saw dust, a very absorbent material, the head of the palm tree when mulched in the wood chipper is a very coarse chunky composition, Palm tree mulch is a fantastic addition to your garden to help retain moisture and protect the garden from the drying winds.
The number one type of palm tree to be removed is the Cocas Palm ... Syagrus romanzoffiana
The cocas palms, once they reach an age of approx 7-10 years old, they start to produce their fruit, and if left unattended, will invite all sorts of insects, vermin and animals, We find ants, spiders, cockroaches, millipedes, rats, mice, bees, wasps, bats, possums and the occasional snake in amongst some palms.
Another type of palm which create an ongoing maintenance issue is the American Cotton Palm, Washingtonia Fillifera This palm tree has been included into the weeds list of Australia. The leaf stem has sharp thorns along the outer parts of the stem, this continues from the trunk to the fan shaped leaf. When the leaves die they bend downwards and form a skirt around the trunk. The shelter that the skirt creates provides a microhabitat for many invertebrates.
The Cuban Royal Palm, Roystonea Regia
is a fast growing species of palm. This is quite a popular palm, the larger version of the Alexander Palm, Archontophenix Alexandrae and often grown in suburban gardens. However, this isn't recommended, since once the palm grows to its mature size, the falling leaves can be a hazard, to anything which happen to be underneath it. And once they grow to a reasonable size, they can be very difficult and expensive, to have removed. The Cuban Royal Palm Can is an awkward palm tree to remove, because of its physical size. When in limited space, removing the Cuban royal palm tree in sections is a timely exercise. Although it is very soft to cut, the sheer diameter of the mature trunk means there is a lot of cutting involved.
Palm trees planted in close proximity to pools drop their fruit and flowers and create havoc with swimming pool pumps and filters. We remove palms from swimming pool areas quite regularly, from customers that are sick and tired from cleaning up the mess left by seed and leaf dropping palms. When planting your palm tree gardens, plan ahead to save money and the heartache of having to remove a palm tree that has been planted in the wrong spot.
The fruit that fall from the seed pods can become a hazard to people if they fall on hard surfaces, the seeds are like marbles and are very dangerous. It can cause a person to lose their step and fall or have their feet slip out from under them.
Once palm trees reach above 3-4 meters in height, depending on their location, the dead leaves (fronds) that fall can be very dangerous to people and property, e.g. The Royal Palm, mature leaf fronds can weigh 20-25 kgs, and when it falls from a height of 10 meters or so would cause damage to whatever it fell on. If the palm trees are in proximity to where cars are parked, extensive damage could occur.
When palm trees are included In the landscape, they can have a beautiful effect in creating a tropical atmosphere, however, depending on the location of where the palm trees are planted, they can outgrow their position, and no longer have the desired effect, Once above roof height, they can lose their appeal as the only visual part you see is the grey trunk, as this stage, once again, the falling leaves can be quite dangerous.
Palm tree removals requires the skill from a experienced tree care professional, The palm removal process can be avoided if consideration and planning is taken into account when the palms are first planted. The right palm tree planted in the right place can exist for ever, provided the extended life cycle of the palm is considered
