Palm tree trimming in Anaheim and Yorba Linda, tall ones included

Palms are half the tree calls we get in Anaheim. Sunny Gardening Service takes off the dead fronds and seed pods, skins the trunks, and climbs the tall Queen and fan palms. Everything we cut leaves on our truck the same day. Call (714) 584-9358 or text a photo of your palms for a free estimate.

What a palm trim includes

  • Dead and hanging fronds

    The brown fronds that hang down the trunk come off, so the palm looks kept instead of abandoned and nothing drops on the patio, the pool or the car.

  • Seed pods and flower stalks

    Queen palms drop fruit and stalks all over the yard and the pool. Taking the pods off is the part of the job you notice for months.

  • Skinning the trunk

    The old frond bases cut back so the trunk shows clean. It takes longer than a frond cleanup, and it is what makes a tall palm look finished.

  • Tall palms and small ones

    Tall Queen and fan palms take a climb. A yard full of pygmy date palms along a wall or a pool takes a careful hand at ground level. One crew does both in the same visit.

  • Hauled the same day

    Fronds, pods and bark go on our truck. You do not end up with a pile at the curb.

When to trim palms in Orange County, and why the timing changed

The Orange County Agricultural Commissioner asks homeowners to avoid elective palm pruning between April and October. The reason is the South American palm weevil: fresh cuts attract it, and the county is working to keep it from getting established here. Its favorite host is the Canary Island date palm, but the county says most palms are susceptible. So if your palm only needs a cleanup, book it for November through March. A dead frond over the roof, the pool or a walkway is a different story; that one comes down when it needs to.

  • Yellowing that starts at the topmost fronds.
  • A crown that flattens out on top.
  • Notches in the newer fronds, or holes and tunnels at the base of the fronds.
  • Cocoons fallen near the base of the trunk.

Those are the signs the county lists. If you see them, call the Orange County Agricultural Commissioner at (714) 955-0100 before you call any trimmer.

What palm trimming costs in Anaheim

Real numbers from our own 2026 quotes and invoices, so you know the range before you call. Your price depends on the palms in front of us, and we give it to you before we start.

  • A tall palm: about $150 each. Each one is a climb, so tall palms are priced one by one.
  • A single smaller palm: about $80. Dead fronds and pods off a palm we can reach without a climb.
  • A yard full of small palms: priced as one group. Twenty-six small palms at one house came to $300 together.
  • A full palm job at one property: $800 for the palms we trimmed at a Yorba Linda property in September 2026.
  • Hauling is always included. No extra line for the fronds.

Recent palm jobs and quotes

  • A big mixed quote, August 2026. Six tall palms and twenty-six small ones at one house, priced together with the trimming of the front-yard bushes, and all the green waste hauled in the same price.

Where we trim palms

We trim palms in Anaheim and Anaheim Hills, where we are based, and in Yorba Linda, Peralta Hills and Orange. Palms in the parkway strip are the city's; our Anaheim tree permit guide explains who handles those. For the rest of the trees in the yard, see tree trimming.

Sunny and his team are great! I discovered them a year ago when I was in need of a new landscaper and stumbled upon an IG advertisement. A simple click connected me and we set up an appointment. Everything since then has been awesome. No complaints whatsoever. Keep doing what you’re doing Sunny!

Before you call

What moves the price

  • How many palms, and how tall. Each tall palm is a climb and is priced on its own; small palms are priced together.
  • Skinning the trunk takes longer than just taking off the dead fronds and pods.
  • Access for the truck and room to drop the fronds.
  • Hauling is included. We look at the palms and give you the price before we start, free.

When we are not the right call

  • Palms in the parkway strip are the City of Anaheim's. We will not trim those, and nobody should without the city's permission.
  • If a palm shows the signs of the palm weevil, the right first call is the county, not a trimmer.

Palm trimming questions we get

When is the best time to trim palm trees in Orange County?

If the palm can wait, November through March. The Orange County Agricultural Commissioner asks homeowners to avoid elective palm pruning from April to October to keep the South American palm weevil from getting a start here. Dead fronds hanging over a roof, a pool or a walkway are a different call; those come down when they need to.

Do you haul the fronds away?

Yes. Fronds, pods and skinned bark go on our truck the same day. It is part of the job, not an extra line on the quote.

Can you trim the palm in the parkway in front of my house?

No. A palm between the sidewalk and the street is a City of Anaheim street tree, and the code requires written permission from the city before anyone trims it. Ask through Anaheim Anytime or call Public Works at (714) 765-6860. Our Anaheim tree permit guide explains the rest.

How much does palm tree trimming cost in Anaheim?

By the palm and the climb. From our 2026 quotes: about $150 for each tall palm, about $80 for a single smaller palm, and a yard of 26 small palms came to $300 together. Hauling is included. Send a photo of the palms and we usually give you the price the same day.

What does the palm weevil look like on a palm?

The county lists yellowing at the topmost fronds, a crown that flattens out on top, notches in the newer fronds, holes and tunnels at the base of the fronds, and cocoons fallen near the trunk. If you see that, report it to the Orange County Agricultural Commissioner at (714) 955-0100.
