I will assume you are speaking about Washingtonia Palms and what you have called a "petticoat" is called a skirt. I cannot imagine that your yard is "full of their debris" because they shed very infrequently (perhaps only one or two fronds) in high winds and that is why they have a skirt.

You will find Washingtonia Palms all over Florida and in California, interestingly, a variety of the Washingtonia Palm is their state palm!

I have a feeling those palms were there before you. If you resent having to pick up the fronds -- don't! Let your yard man pick them up..
