Hassle-Free Palm Tree Removal
Palms can look great until they start dropping fronds, seeds and mess everywhere, so we make removing or tidying them simple. At Summit Tree Services on the Sunshine Coast, we safely handle tall, awkward or hard-to-reach palms near pools, roofs, driveways and fences, taking care to protect surrounding gardens and structures.
We climb, rig and lower heavy palm heads and fronds in controlled sections, so nothing crashes onto tiles, sheds or cars. Seed pods, trunks and waste are cut up, removed or chipped for easier handling. If you are tired of constant palm clean-up, call 0487 907 783 to book a visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Palm tree removal raises questions about safety, access and what happens to the mess, especially around pools, roofs and boundary fences.
Do palm tree roots cause damage to pipes or foundations?
Palm roots are generally fibrous and tend to spread in a dense mat near the surface rather than forming large, destructive tap roots. They can still interfere with garden edging, paving or shallow pipes. In tight spaces or near structures, removal and stump grinding can help prevent ongoing nuisance or minor damage.
How are tall palm trees removed safely?
Tall palms are usually climbed or accessed with an elevated work platform, then dismantled from the top down. Fronds and palm heads are cut off first, often rigged and lowered with ropes to avoid damage. The trunk is then cut into manageable sections, which are lowered or carefully dropped into a clear zone.
What happens to the fronds and palm waste after removal?
After removal, fronds, seed pods and trunk sections are cut down further and usually chipped or loaded for disposal. Chipped material can sometimes be reused as coarse mulch in suitable areas. Fine seeds, old boots and husks around the base are raked or blown up to leave the area neat and safe.
Cleaning Up Messy Palms
Palm tree removal usually starts with a safety check for powerlines, access and decay in the trunk or crown. Climbers then work from the top down, removing fronds, pods and finally the main trunk in manageable sections. Stumps can be left low or ground out, and surrounding areas raked, blown and left tidy for everyday use.
