Palm Tree Service
Orange County, CA
It is undeniable that our palm trees are a major reason our home in Southern California is so beautiful.
But we're sure you've noticed that when palm trees are neglected, they become a bit unsightly. This is because unlike deciduous trees and evergreens such as pine and cyprus that don't change much throughout the year, as palm trees continue to grow, their old heavy, sharp fronds remin. They're an eyesore, a fire hazard, and are prone to causing accidents that homeowners, property managers and business owners could be held liable for in the event that they cause any damage.
Orange County Tree Care Company expertly handles palm trees and ensuring that they stay healthy and continue to grow safely and properly for years.
If you have palm trees on your property, you are very fortunate! But with great beauty comes great responsibility, and it is is important to properly maintain them to ensure that they will continue to be an l asset to your community that everyone can enjoy.
If you'd like to have your palm trees serviced, or if you're concerned about their health and would like a professional to come and evaluate them, please call us today at (949) 264-5444.
Caring for Palm Trees in California
Nutritious Soil is Important
Just like humans need nutrition in the form of macronutrients and micronutrients to stay healthy, palm trees are very similar. They have high requirements of nitrogen, magnesium, manganese and potassium in order to stay healthy. So healthy palm trees need soil that is rich in all of these nutrients in order to thrive. If the soil is not rich in these nutrients, or if the soil doesn't allow for them to be easily absorbed by the tree, the tree will suffer.
If you are concerned about palm tree care, the first step should be to obtain a soil sample, as you can easily test to see what kind of nutrients are currently available to the tree, and you'll know how what type of fertilizer you'll need to obtain. It is possible to get a custom blend of fertilizer based on the needs of the soil.
Why Pruning Palm Trees is Important
We've all seen the palm trees with beards. They are not cute. Remember when you were younger and your mom said your room looked like a rat's nest? There probably weren't actually any rats (hopefully) but with palm trees, without proper pruning, they can literally become rat's nests. Without proper pruning, diseases and pests of all sorts can negatively impact the health of a palm tree.
When pruning a palm tree, the arborist should focus on dead or severely discolored tissue, because nutrients in any declining foliage may be reused by the tree in new tissues. If pruning is done improperly, any nutrient deficiencies could be worsened if the tree is not allowed to recycle these nutrients. It is important to have an experienced tree service provider prune your palm trees so that they stay healthy.

We are unable to offer standardized pricing across the board for our palm tree services because each case is different. If you are in need of palm tree skinning, palm tree maintenance or palm tree removal, please contact us. We will conduct an inspection and provide you with a free estimate for the service.
Palm Tree Skinning
This is a term that is often referred to as "skimming," as the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. Basically, it's the process of removing the rough webbing of "skin" that's left behind on a palm tree by years of trimming. Skinning involves carefully removing this outer layer while being sure to avoid damaging the inner part of the trunk, which is soft and rather delicate. This service restores the classic look that makes the palm tree an icon in Southern California.
Palm Tree Trimming & Maintenance
Palm trees are beloved by citizens and even non-citizens of California. But if they are not well-maintained, they tend to lose their curb appeal.
Palm Tree Removal
At times, you may find that palm trees on your residential or commercial property in Orange County are becoming hazardous. This could be because they are in danger of growing into power lines above, or obstructing sewer pipes below. During the Santa Ana winds, your palm tree may have become damaged somehow. In these cases, a removal may be necessary. Cutting down a palm tree to the stump may seem like a simple task, but there is a lot involved in making sure that it is done safely. Orange County Tree Care Company always does a full evaluation beforehand to ensure that there will not be any personal or property damage during the service.
