Palms & feature plantings
Palm trimming and tall-tree care in Collaroy
Plenty of Collaroy gardens are built around palms, from a single feature by the pool to a row along the boundary. They look great and ask for little, but the dead fronds, seed pods and old flower spikes build up out of sight at the top, and once they are twenty or thirty feet up, they are a real job to deal with safely.

Local considerations
What tall palms actually need
Height and access are the real issues with Collaroy palms. Once they clear the roofline, safe removal of fronds and pods takes climbing gear and care so nothing drops on the pool, the paving or the neighbour.
In short
A tidy palm lifts a whole Collaroy garden. A neglected one drops fronds on the pool and seeds itself over the fence.

How we approach Collaroy jobs
A tidy palm lifts a whole Collaroy garden. A neglected one drops fronds on the pool and seeds itself over the fence.
For Collaroy palms we work off the right access for the height, protect whatever is underneath, and keep the crown healthy rather than over-cut. Tall date and cotton palms with spikes are handled carefully so no one wears a frond on the way down.
In practice
Worth keeping in mind
Clean, not stripped. A healthy palm keeps its green fronds. We remove the dead and hanging ones, not the lot.
Height is the hard part. Above the roofline, palm work is all about safe access and controlled lowering.
Pods and spikes. Seed heads make the mess and the seedlings next door, so they come off with the fronds.

Questions
Collaroy tree service FAQs
How often should palms in Collaroy be trimmed?
Most palms are happy with a clean once a year, sometimes twice for fast growers or messy seeding types. The goal is to clear dead fronds and seed heads before they drop or self-sow.
Will trimming hurt my palm?
Not if it is done properly. We remove dead and hanging fronds and the seed spikes while leaving the healthy green crown, which keeps the palm strong. Over-trimming into a thin tuft is what stresses them.
Do palm seed pods cause problems?
They can. The seeds make a mess and readily germinate in garden beds and next door, so removing the flower and seed spikes during a clean saves a lot of weeding later.
Can you remove a very tall palm in Collaroy?
Yes. Tall palms are removed in sections with the right climbing and lowering gear so nothing lands on the pool, paving or fence, and we grind the base afterward.
Is the dead frond skirt on my palm a problem?
It can harbour rats and drop without warning. Clearing it makes the palm safer, tidier and less attractive to pests.
