Palm tree removal
 

I just had my last Queen palm removed yesterday by Bowen's Tree Service. They are by far the best I have ever seen. They make those guys with the bucket trucks look like beginners. Did it in half the time too. Yes, they are licensed and insured and competitively priced.:BigApplause:

what was the competitive price??

Actually cheaper than Valley Crest, who removed 2 for me a couple weeks ago.

and how much was that?

Just curious of what is the price. We have a Washingtonia that needs removing. We had someone stop by who said they would do it for $200. Found out after questioning them they were not going to remove the ball, just cut it off above the ground. We said no thanks. Did they remove the ball?

They ground the stump about 6" below ground level, they couldn't go deeper because there is a lamppost wire there somewhere. They charged me $300. Valleycrest charged me $750 for 2 trees and wanted $490 for this one.

Just had two queens flush cut.
 

We just had two queen palms removed. It was OK for us to simply 'flush cut' instead of dealing with the ball.

Greenside UP did the work and charged $275 for whole job. I have used Hector for various things over the past few years and am always pleased...

Could you give me the phone number for Bowen's Tree Service. Need palm tree removed. Thanks.

I'd like their number as well.

Right from google. Bowens tree service. 352. 874. 9848.

Two of my palm trees trunks have black on them and the trunk is starting to crumble. Are they experts enough to tell me what's wrong? Thanks.

And up course all of you that removed trees got ARC approval first.

Other than diseased trees why are yo folks removing your palm trees and what are you replacing them with?

Had several queens removed. I called ARC and was absolutely told that there is NO requirement for approval for removing palms and no requirement for replacement. The rule is for canopy trees only and that palms are not canopy trees

It is clearly stated here:
Village Community Development Districts as the bottom FAQ on the page.

Where are you seeing the black....near the bottom, mid, or top? Does the tree look healthy otherwise ? Is this palm a queen?

We back up to Villas, so not a lot of space between lanai and wall. We had a queen palm planted in each corner of the back yard.

When we did that in 2008(?) we could see fronds sitting on the lanai. They grew much faster than Jamie (landscaper) had predicted and by this year it looked like two telephone poles. Without the view and the trimming becoming more difficult due to height, down they came.

Now we enjoy the neighbor's :thumbup:

Thank you

I know exactly what you mean. And, if not removed, those seed pods can get so big they look like something out of a scary movie. :22yikes:

Good to know. Thanks very much for noting this.

No need for ARC approval for a palm removal

All, thank you for the clarification regarding PALM tree removal, apparently I did not read the ARC requirements well, I thought it said trees over 4 inch with no clarification for palms. my bad.
