It has been a few years since we used Tree Frog to take down two big queen palms with fronds that were touching our roof. We were happy with his work.
Those trees had required too much maintenance to trim and to get rid of seed pods that seemed to sometimes grow huge overnight.
When we bought the house, we knew nothing about palm trees.
In the beginning we were hiring a trimmer that our neighbors used. But when I saw him shinny up the tree with a battery operated chainsaw RUNNING! I knew those trees needed to be out of our lives before somebody got hurt.
By that time I had also learned that palm rats live in queen palms. I had not seen any so far but I did not want to.
When taking down big trees, I think it is important to have someone who knows what they are doing, takes safety precautions, and is properly insured.
I was surprised at how much shade those big, tall palms had been providing, but I am still glad they are gone.
