I don't think so. The majority of the root system is large ball. The roots that spread are quite soft but they travel a long way. I have seen palms planted close to sidewalks and driveways with no apparent problems.
A palm is not a tree but related to grass.
Now that I have made such a profound answer to your question, I will immediately google "palm" and see if I am correct.
