Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to remove a palm tree?

Palm tree removal often costs $300 to $1,500, but tall palms, tight access, and hauling can raise the total above $2,500.

Does palm tree removal include stump grinding?

Usually not unless it is listed in the quote. Palm stump grinding is often a separate add-on because the stump is fibrous.

Why does palm hauling cost extra?

Palm trunks and fronds are fibrous and may not chip like ordinary hardwood branches, so crews often cut and haul them separately.
