The Delray Beach Palm Difference
Most “tree services” hack palms into a bare “hurricane cut” that weakens them for years. We never do that. Green fronds stay; only dead, dying, or dangerous material comes off. Every tool is sanitized between trees to block lethal yellowing — the fatal, insect-spread disease that’s active across Palm Beach County.
Palm Health & Lethal Yellowing
Lethal yellowing is a fatal palm disease spread by an insect. Per UF/IFAS, the only proven control is preventive oxytetracycline (OTC) trunk injections every 4 months — and it works best as prevention, before symptoms appear. If your palm’s new fronds look striped or frizzled (“Frizzle Top”), that’s a magnesium deficiency our palm fertilizer corrects.
Storm Prep for Delray Beach
Before the June–November hurricane window we do a hazard pass: remove loose fronds, clear dead trunks, and confirm no palm is a wind-thrown risk. One visit can prevent a season of storm damage and insurance claims.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I trim my Delray Beach palms?
Most species benefit from trimming 2–3 times per year, with a key service before hurricane season. Fast growers like queen palms may need more; slow growers less. We recommend a schedule after assessing your trees.
Is palm trimming messy?
No — full cleanup and debris removal is included on every job.
Do you trim near power lines?
We assess line clearance and coordinate safely; work near utility lines follows utility notification rules. Never attempt line-adjacent trimming yourself.
What's the difference between trimming and pruning
Trimming clears dead and overgrown fronds; pruning is the health-focused removal of diseased material and shaping. We do both, and explain which your palm needs.
How much does palm trimming cost in Delray Beach Palm Tree Trimming?
It depends on palm height, species, access, and how much comes off. Delray Beach Palm Tree Trimming gives a free written estimate — call (561) 529-5270.
