Dead and hanging fronds
We remove dry, brown and partially detached fronds that can fall without warning, reducing the risk of injury and damage below, particularly in windy or wet weather.
Quick, safe removal of dead, hanging or storm-damaged palm fronds in Hamilton, including spiky Phoenix fronds, with every frond cleared away afterwards.
Palm frond removal in Hamilton is a simple way to make your property safer and tidier. Dead or hanging fronds can be heavy, and when they drop from height they can injure people, damage cars and break outdoor furniture. Old fronds can also provide shelter for rats and insects, and they build up into a fire and debris risk. Our arborists safely cut away dead, damaged and overhanging fronds, and clear seed pods and dry flower stalks at the same time.
We work from the ground, with ladders or with climbing gear, depending on the height of the palm. All fronds are bagged or chipped and taken away. Whether it's one palm or a whole row, we can help. Get in touch for palm frond removal in Hamilton today.

Answers to common questions about palm frond removal in Hamilton. Still have a question? Get in touch.
Low fronds on small palms that you can reach from the ground can often be cut with a sharp pruning saw, sturdy gloves and eye protection. Be very careful with Phoenix palms, as their spines can cause painful puncture wounds that may become infected. Anything that needs a ladder, involves heavy fronds at height or is near power lines is best left to a professional crew.
Pricing depends on how many palms there are, how tall they are, the species and how many fronds need to come off. Spiky Phoenix fronds and palms over roofs, pools or fences take more care, and the volume of waste also affects the price. We are happy to provide a free quote for one palm or a whole row.
We try to prioritise fronds that are hanging over paths, driveways, roofs or play areas and could fall at any time. Call us on 07 808 5077, describe the situation and we will tell you when we can get there. In the meantime, keep people, pets and vehicles clear of the area beneath the palm.
No. Fully brown fronds no longer feed the palm, so cutting them off does not harm it, provided the cuts are clean and do not damage the trunk or the growing point. Fronds that are only partly yellow are still supplying nutrients, so where they are not a hazard it is better to leave them until they have died off.
Neighbour boundary issues like this are generally civil matters, so the best first step is a friendly conversation about having the palm tidied. Many neighbours are happy to share the cost or arrange the work once they know it is a problem. If the palm is unsafe, we can assess it and give both parties a clear picture of what is needed.
