The right way to trim Naples palms — and why most crews get it wrong.
The infamous "hurricane cut" is the fastest way to kill a healthy palm. Palms need green fronds to feed the meristem; strip too many and the tree slowly starves. Our crews trim only dead, dying, and damaged fronds plus seed pods — leaving your palms healthy, symmetrical, and hurricane-ready without the shaved-pineapple look.

Palm Tree Trimming — questions we hear the most
How often should palms be trimmed in Naples?+
Most coconuts and royals want a trim every 6–12 months. Sabal palms can go 12–18 months. Over-trimming is worse than under-trimming.
Will you do a hurricane cut if I ask?+
No. We will politely refuse and explain why. It's genuinely bad for the palm and shortens its life by years.
Do you fertilize palms?+
Yes, we offer a Florida-formulated palm fertilization program targeting the potassium and magnesium deficiencies common in Naples soil.
