Just be very careful and do your homework. Remember these are PLANTS, they are not oak trees. Had two people in our neighborhood charged as if they were having live oaks removed because they had no idea of the differences. Having "stumps" ground can be very expensive. Again, palm "trees" are plants, very fibrous inside. If yours are diseased at all, even if not very visible yet, chances are the inside is very "spongy". If you hire someone to cut them down, have them cut VERY close to the ground. Instead of paying for "stump removal" (something worthwhile for oaks and other hard woods TREES, just use common stump remover from Ace or other HW store. We've used it on the remains of 3 palms we cut down ourselves at our house and all you do it pour some one and it works ! It's not over night, but just have them cut down so very little is left. If you have it done, main thing is do NOT take anyone's word that they are fully insured and licensed ! So many times we've taken someone's card, said we'd consider them, but when we called the state's toll free number to check the license and insurance, we've had it turn out to be a LEGITIMATE Florida license number...but... had NOT been renewed for years. Same with dept. of insurance, so many DID fine insurance ONCE, but the state of Florida does not go after providers annually to make sure their insurance is up to date. Do your home work, can't say it loud or often, enough ... the old "ounce of prevention" and it only takes a few minutes on the phone to check it out.
