What we do
Palm Tree Removal in Brisbane, the Redlands and Logan
Palms are half of what we remove in the bayside suburbs. The cocos (queen) palm is the usual offender: it needs cleaning every eight to ten months, drops slippery orange fruit that stains concrete, and attracts bats and rats. Golden canes multiply into a clump that pushes on fences and pipes. Alexandra and Bangalow palms grow tall and thin and drop heavy fronds and seed on cars. None of them are native to Brisbane and none are protected in the councils we work in, so the usual answer when a client is sick of one is simply to take it out.
Removal is done by climbing or from a ladder for smaller palms, taking the head off first and then the trunk in sections. Palm trunk is fibrous and heavy and does not chip well, so it is cut into rounds and loaded on the truck. The stump is ground below ground level the same day if you want the spot for lawn or a garden bed. We also do palm cleaning: fronds, seed pods and hanging dead material removed so the palm looks tidy and stops dropping things.
We remove palms every week across the Redlands and bayside, Logan and out to Coomera and Pimpama, where the new estates were planted with cocos palms that are now 10 metres tall.
What's included in our palm tree removal service
Cocos (queen) palm removal
The most common job. Head off, trunk sectioned, stump ground. Fruit and seed cleaned up.
Golden cane and clumping palm removal
Whole clumps cut out and the root mass ground or dug so they do not come back.
Alexandra, Bangalow and Foxtail palm removal
Tall, thin palms climbed and lowered in sections over pools and roofs.
Date and Canary Island palm removal
Big, heavy and spiky. Planned with the truck close by; these often need the whole crew.
Palm cleaning and de-nutting
Dead fronds, seed pods and fruit stalks removed so the palm is tidy and safe for the season.
Stump grinding
Palm stumps ground below ground level the same day. See stump grinding.
