Took about an hour to clean off all the fronds and get them shredded and hauled away. Looks so much better. Am glad that got done today since it is very gusty tonight. I took a lot of video but can't get those posted on here thru RV.NET.

What it looked like before they started...

Here is one pile of fronds removed and on it's way down to the pile on the street. He made about 5 trips to unload his box and go up for more.

he is at the top cleaning up to the green fronds. He cut off the dead leafy fronds as well.

The big truck to shred and haul the debris away
Image

these pieces are light and by themselves would not do much damage
Image

these pieces are solid and heavy and can do damage. My neighbor has a cracked windshield on her RV from one of these that came down from another palm tree last year.
Image

Here it is all cleaned up!

He did a good job on your tree, Barbie. It must be comforting to know you're safer now with it trimmed like that.

You are lucky to have the help with palm. Around here it can cost $1000 to just trim one Palm, if you can even find someone and most won't haul away the fronds and won't chip them because they are very tough on even industrial chipper blades and only 1 dump in region will take them. I'm trying to get my one tall palm that came up volunteer trimmed.

Yes, even tho the tree is on my property, the trees are all taken care of by the maintenance crew here which is nice.
