Palm Shaving
Palm Shaving
Palm shaving, also known as palm skinning or debarking, is a specialized palm tree maintenance technique aimed at enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the tree and improving its overall health. At Godfrey Tree Fellers, we offer professional palm shaving services tailored to the needs of your palm trees. Here’s what our palm shaving service entails:
Removal of Dead Fronds:
Careful removal of dead or yellowing fronds from the palm tree to improve its appearance and promote airflow within the canopy.
Thinning of Skirt Fronds:
Thinning out the lower skirt of fronds to remove old, dried, or diseased foliage, enhancing visibility around the base of the tree and reducing potential fire hazards.
Trimming of Excessive Fiber and Leaf Bases
Trimming away excess fiber and leaf bases from the trunk of the palm tree to create a smoother and more uniform appearance.
Debarking of Trunk
Gently removing the outer layer of bark from the palm tree trunk to reveal the smooth, greenish-gray layer underneath. This process can help revitalize the appearance of older palms, removing unsightly scars, blemishes, or insect damage from the trunk.
Cleanup and Disposal
Thorough cleanup of debris, including removed fronds, bark shavings, and trimming residues, from the surrounding area. Environmentally responsible disposal of debris, ensuring minimal impact on the environment and surrounding landscapes.
