Palm Tree Trimming in Las Vegas
Palms need different tools, technique, and timing than broadleaf trees. We trim to keep the palm healthy, not to scalp it into a "pineapple" cut.
“I have been using Redgator Tree Trimming and Landscaping for my palm trees for the past three years. I highly recommend them.”

Why this matters
A palm doesn't grow the way a broadleaf tree does — one growing point at the top, no secondary branches to fall back on, and every green frond still feeding the trunk. Dead fronds hanging against a home in Las Vegas heat are a real fire risk, and an overgrown skirt is a favorite nesting spot for rats and other pests. So we follow the industry guideline: leave fronds above roughly the 9 and 3 o'clock position on the crown. Strip green fronds down to a tuft — the so-called hurricane cut — and you starve the palm; it can permanently narrow the trunk at that point in its growth. We take off what's dead or genuinely hazardous and leave what the palm still needs to feed itself.
