Specialised care for every palm
Palms need different care to other trees. Dead fronds and heavy seed pods build up in the crown and can fall without warning, especially in high winds, and neglected palms attract pests and disease.
Our team prunes, cleans and checks palms of every type, from coconuts and royals to fan and clumping palms. We tailor maintenance plans for homeowners, resorts, strata and property managers, so palms are done before they become a problem.
Regular maintenance keeps your landscape looking sharp, adds to kerb appeal and reduces the risk of damage to roofs, cars and people.

Dead and dying fronds cut cleanly without damaging the trunk.

Why palms need regular care
Regular pruning removes the dead fronds that become hazards in high winds, prevents pest infestations and keeps palms structurally sound. Well-maintained palms also give a clean, manicured look that adds value to a property.
We avoid over-pruning, which weakens palms. Only dead and hanging material is removed, so the palm keeps the green fronds it needs to stay healthy.
- Fewer falling fronds and pods
- Healthier, longer-lived palms
- A tidy, well-kept landscape

Palm Tree Maintenance questions
How often should palms be maintained?
Most palms in Cairns benefit from a visit once or twice a year. Coconut palms usually need de-nutting about twice a year.
Do you use spikes to climb palms?
We use climbing methods and EWPs that avoid unnecessary damage to healthy trunks.
Can you set up a maintenance schedule?
Yes. We set up regular visits for homes, strata complexes, resorts and commercial properties.
Is over-pruning bad for palms?
Yes. Removing green fronds weakens the palm. We only remove dead, dying and hazardous material.
