Palm Tree Removal & Cleaning
Palm Trees Cleaned & Removed All Over Brisbane
Palm Tree Removal & Cleaning in Brisbane
Palm trees add to the wonderful tropical feel of Brisbane. They are lush, fast growing and are perfectly suited to our climate. The challenge is that not all palms are perfect for all locations, and some palm trees need regular cleaning and maintenance to look their best.
Palm trees such as Cocos palms, Alexander Palms, Bismarck Palms, Cuban Royal Palms, Golden Cane Palms, Canary Island Palms, Cotton Palms, Date Palms, Sago Palms, Cabbage or Palmetto Palm can cause significant problems as they mature.
Aussie Tree Solutions are experts in palm tree cleaning, maintenance and removal for Brisbane properties. No matter where your palm tree is located, or how close to your pool or home, we will find a way to clean or remove it safely!
Our Palm Tree Cleaning & Removal Services
Our palm tree maintenance or removal services use either our climbing arborists or a cherry picker (EWP).
We offer a range of palm tree options including removal, cleaning, and strapping (to stop dead fronds from falling).
Palm Tree Removal
No matter how high or how wide your palm tree or clump of palm trees, we can safely remove it for you.
We can even stump grind the remaining stumps, to fully clear the remaining root system and get the area ready for replanting. Stump grinding palm tree roots can be a tricky business if they have lifted pipes or power supplies. We have the expertise and experience to ensure that this is completed safely and effectively.
We are regularly called in after a backyard operator has tried to fell a tree and it has ended up on a house, which is why we only use tree felling in specific situations.
Palm Tree Cleaning
Some palm trees need regular cleaning to clear dead or dying fronds and remove seeds or fruits. If this cleaning is done incorrectly, it can permanently damage or kill the palm tree.
Because of the height of many palm trees, this is a dangerous task and should only be completed by trained and qualified experts.
Our team of arborists have decades of experience in cleaning palm trees. We have the qualifications and experience to safely clean palm trees, without permanently damaging the tree.
We also have the expertise to install strapping on dangerous palms, to catch fronds before they fall. Palm tree strapping is commonly used on palm trees in areas where people regularly pass the tree such as a school or public area, or it is near an area where cars regularly park.
