Why Palm Tree Trimming is Essential to Your Home


In Florida, you can see palm trees line the streets and even in residential properties. There’s a tropical feel to it and a good addition to the landscape of one’s home. However, if the palm trees are not maintained properly, they can grow hairy. Rather than add to the aesthetics of the home, it will make the property look unkempt.

So if you have palm trees, you have to think about regularly maintaining them through palm tree trimming. Just like hair, if left untrimmed for a long time, it will not look pleasant. With palm trees, the same can be said. And it’s not just about the appearance too; here are other reasons why you need to do some palm-scaping at home:

·         Get more out of the asking price if you’re selling the home. Palm tree trimming will maintain the appearance of your palm trees so they can grow beautifully. If you’re selling the house, you’d want the buyers, inspectors and appraisers to give it a high value, right? If you choose to do the trimming later, the buyers might ask to deduct the fee for trimming the trees from your asking price.

·         Get rid of rats’ nests through regular palm tree trimming. You must know that dead palm fronds attract rats. They climb into these things and build their nests, making your palm trees their home. It can really be disgusting to think that a rat family is living in your palm trees and breeding there too. Don’t invite them; trim your palm trees regularly.

·         Those dead palm fronds aren’t just a home for filthy rats; those are potential fire hazards too, especially if you already have a big stack in your backyard. All it takes is one lightning to strike that stack and you’ll have a big fire to deal with.

·         Talk about the stack of dead palm fronds you’re keeping there, it can cause accidents in your home and the neighbor’s home too. You see, when a palm tree grows taller, the palm fronds grow bigger. When they grow bigger, they get heavier too. So if there’s heavy wind in your area, it can carry the dead palm fronds and damage windows and other things in your property and your neighbors.

·         Simply, cause they look ugly and can give you the creeps.

Having palm tree trimming isn’t just a service to your home, it is also a favor you’ll be doing for your neighbors (no rats, no fire hazards, and no possible accidents). And the maintenance should help you get a better value for your home when you sell it.
