Palm Tree

Professional Palm Tree Services in Roseville & Placer County

While many think of palm trees as maintenance-free, anyone in Roseville knows that a neglected palm can quickly become an eyesore or a fire hazard. At Economy Tree Service Inc, we specialize in the unique care required for California Fan Palms, Mexican Fan Palms, and Canary Island Date Palms. We provide the expert "skirting" and trimming services needed to keep your tropical landscape looking pristine and safe.

Our Palm Tree Specializations

Palm Trimming and Skinning Over time, dead fronds accumulate and create a "skirt" around the trunk. Not only is this unsightly, but it also becomes a prime nesting ground for rodents and a major fire risk. We provide professional trimming to remove dead growth and "skinning" services to shave the trunk, giving your palms that smooth, polished, resort-style appearance.

Fruit and Seed Pod Removal Dealing with messy palm fruit or heavy seed pods? We remove these before they drop, saving you hours of cleanup and preventing unwanted seedlings from sprouting in your lawn or gutters. This also redirects the tree's energy back into healthy green growth.

Palm Health and Nutrition Palm trees are technically closer to grasses than hardwoods, meaning they have very specific nutritional needs. If your palm fronds are yellowing or stunted, it may be a magnesium or potassium deficiency. Economy Tree Service Inc provides specialized fertilization treatments tailored to the sandy or clay-heavy soils found in the Roseville area.

Safe Palm Removal and Replanting Whether a palm has outgrown its space near a pool or has been damaged by a hard freeze, we offer safe, efficient removal. Using specialized climbing gear or aerial lifts, we can remove palms from tight spaces between houses or near power lines without damaging your surrounding landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions About Palm Tree Care

How often should my palm trees be trimmed?
For most species in the Roseville area, such as Mexican Fan Palms, a once-a-year trimming is usually sufficient. This is typically done after the tree has finished its annual growth cycle and the seed pods have emerged. Regular trimming prevents the buildup of "skirts" (dead fronds) that can become fire hazards or homes for pests.

What is palm "skinning" and is it necessary?
Palm skinning (or shaving) is the process of removing the rough, leftover "boots" or husks from the trunk of the tree to reveal a smooth, clean surface. While this is primarily a cosmetic service to give your palms a sleek, resort-style look, it also helps eliminate hiding spots for insects and rodents.

Are dead palm fronds a fire hazard?
Yes. Dried palm fronds are highly flammable. In our hot, dry California summers, a palm with a thick "skirt" of dead growth can ignite quickly from a stray spark or firework. Economy Tree Service Inc recommends keeping your palms trimmed and "skirt-free" to improve the fire safety of your property.

My palm tree fronds are turning yellow. Is it dying?
Not necessarily. Yellowing fronds often indicate a nutrient deficiency, commonly magnesium or potassium, which is frequent in our local soil. We can provide specialized palm fertilization to restore the vibrant green color and health of your trees.

Can you remove palm trees near pools or power lines?
Absolutely. Palm trees are often planted near pools for a tropical vibe, but their height can make removal tricky. We use specialized rigging and aerial equipment to safely remove palms from tight spaces without dropping debris into your pool or damaging nearby utility lines.
