Call or text Tracy 352-913-5103 had him diamond cut my Sylvester and removed2 queen palms and trimmed pineapple palm. Can honestly say his work looks the best from any I’ve seen in the villages . Fair price and highly highly recommend.

Make sure they santize their cutting tools before they begin their trimming. Lethal Bronzing disease (Google it) is all over Florida. This disease wants it hits your palm will kill it in less then two months.

Not much work
 
Those aren’t too much work because they grow so slow. Tree health depends on ample space from other vegetation to permit root development. Just fertilize them regularly if your soil is sandy.

That said, if you decide to trim them yourself, remember there is a danger of getting jabbed by thorns. The base of the fronds carry some hefty spikes you will want to avoid and never cut off healthy branches. Branches that still have green contribute to the plants photosynthesis cycle. Bolt cutter type trimmers or a tree branch saw work great for DIY people for removing branches. The hair is easy to remove with just a box cutter.
