Palm trees are a popular choice throughout Tauranga and surrounds, but sometimes they can grow to become a problem with branches, spikes and seeds dropping. High winds also increase the risk of flying palm spikes. Check out some pictures from just some of the challenging jobs we’ve managed around Omokoroa, Whakamarama, Tauranga and beyond.

The Avenues
Large Date palm removal
The team came in, climbed to crown and removed the palm fronds. The tree was felled into lawn area, ringed up and processed. Stump grinding the large stump came next.
Reason for Removal
Due to the site of the palm, when high winds pick up there was a risk to clients below to put them in danger from the massive spikes. This was a very dangerous situation, in addition to providing a home for rats in the crown.

This project included the dismantling of three large Phoenix palms and the pruning of two.
Matua

In Valley Road, Mount Maunganui, this palm tree was causing problems for the young family living here by dropping spikes everywhere. This dismantle involved using a Hiab truck to complete the job successfully.
Prune in Otumoetai
By removing the lower fronds on a palm tree, not only does the appearance improve but more sunlight enters the garden which encourages the growth of surrounding plants. This super-high prune at an Otumoetai residence also makes the tree safer to work around.
