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.
What’s included
- ✓Removal of dead and dying fronds only
- ✓Seed pod and boot removal
- ✓Skirting and shaping
- ✓Safe removal of pest and rodent nesting material
- ✓Height-appropriate rigging for tall palms
Why this matters
A palm doesn't grow the way a broadleaf tree does. It has a single growing point at the top, no secondary branches to fall back on, and every green frond is still feeding the trunk. Dead fronds hanging against a home in Las Vegas heat are a genuine fire risk, and an overgrown skirt is a favorite nesting spot for rats and pests. But we follow the industry guideline of leaving fronds above roughly the 9 and 3 o'clock position on the crown, because stripping green fronds down to a tuft, the so-called hurricane cut, starves the palm and 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 needs to keep feeding itself.

Before & after
What customers say about our palm tree trimming
“We have used RedGator for our Palm Trees since moving to Nevada 8 years ago. I truly appreciate their prompt communication and a desire to serve.
