How often should palms be cleaned?

It depends on the species and where it is standing, but once or twice a year suits most Brisbane palms. Palms over a path, pool or driveway are worth doing more often simply because of what is underneath them.

Do you take the seed pods as well?

Yes. Pods are the messiest part of a palm and the reason a lot of people call in the first place — they drop, they sprout, and they stain paving.

Can you remove a palm instead of cleaning it?

Yes, and for some palms that is the more sensible option long term. Palm removal is a separate job — we can quote both at the same visit so you can compare.

Do I need council approval to remove a palm?

Sometimes. Some species and some properties are covered by local vegetation rules, and it differs between councils. Cleaning is not usually affected, but removal can be. We can advise on your situation at the quote.

Palm Cleaning Brisbane

Palm cleaning takes the dead fronds, seed pods and loose material off a palm in one visit. It is the maintenance job most Brisbane palms need once or twice a year, and it is a lot cheaper than dealing with what happens when a frond lets go over a path.

What a palm clean covers

We take off the spent fronds, the seed pods and the loose frond bases, and clear the debris. Palms hold their dead material until it falls, and a soaked frond coming off a mature palm carries real weight. Anything overhanging a path, a driveway, a pool or an entertaining area is worth keeping on top of.
