Expert Palm Tree Cleaning Services
What Palm Pruning and Cleaning Involves
Certain palm varieties require regular pruning of dead palm fronds. Seed pods must be consistently removed to avoid clogging pool filters, gutters, messing gardens, driveways, patios, etc. Dead palm fronds can become a major fire hazard during the hot, dry Australian Summer months and trimming is a safeguard not to be overlooked during fire season.
Proper palm tree maintenance helps to promote overall flourishing healthy palms in the garden and reduces the risk of disease development/occurrence. Whatever the reasons for your palm maintenance, the experienced team at Jordan’s Tree Services can skilfully prune and clean your palms safely and without damage.

Why Regular Palm Maintenance Matters
While palm trees are relatively low maintenance, they still require regular care to stay safe and healthy. Over time, dead fronds and seed pods can build up, creating an untidy appearance and increasing the risk of pests such as rats and snakes. During Perth’s hot summers, this dry material can also become a potential fire hazard.
Dead fronds and seed pods can be surprisingly heavy and may fall without warning, posing a risk to people, vehicles, roofs, and surrounding property. Regular palm cleaning helps keep your trees looking their best while reducing these safety risks.
Our qualified arborists provide regular palm cleaning service that clears build up before it becomes a problem, keeping your palms healthy and the area beneath them safe to use from Perth to Bunbury.
The Problem with Over Pruning Palms
Many people assume that cutting a palm back harder means it will need less maintenance, but that’s not the case. Removing too many healthy green fronds often referred to as a “hurricane cut” can place unnecessary stress on the tree. Over-pruning weakens the palm, slows healthy growth, and makes it more susceptible to pests and disease.
At Jordan’s Tree Services, we follow best-practice pruning techniques, removing only dead, damaged, or hazardous fronds. Regular, professional maintenance keeps your palms healthy, attractive, and safe while preserving their natural shape for years to come

FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
F.A.Q
How often should palms be cleaned?
Most palms benefit from a clean once or twice a year, depending on the species and how quickly they shed. We can recommend the right schedule once we've seen your palms.
Is it bad to cut a palm back too hard?
Yes. Over pruning into a "hurricane cut" strips away healthy fronds the palm needs, leaving it stressed, slow to grow and more prone to pests and disease. We only ever remove what's dead or hazardous.
Should I prune my palm trees myself?
It's best not to. Palm fronds and seed pods are heavy and often need to be reached at height near roofs, fences or power lines, and cutting away healthy fronds can harm the palm. A qualified, insured palm tree pruner has the equipment and know-how to do it safely and correctly
Can you maintain very tall palms?
Yes. Height isn't a barrier, we have the right equipment and experience to safely clean and maintain palms well beyond the reach of a ladder.
