Falling coconut safety
A mature coconut can weigh a couple of kilos and drop from 15 metres or more. De-nutting palms once or twice a year — especially near paths, carports and play areas — is a simple, low-cost way to keep everyone safe.

Palm Tree Removal & Pruning FAQs
How often should coconut palms be de-nutted?+
Usually once or twice a year, depending on how heavily the palm fruits. Always before cyclone season.
Can you remove a palm in a tight yard?+
Yes. We dismantle the palm from the top down and lower sections safely.
Do you grind palm stumps?+
Yes, we can grind palm stumps below ground so you can re-turf or replant. [CONFIRM IF OFFERED]
Is it okay to cut green fronds?+
We only remove dead and dying fronds plus nuts and seed pods. Over-cutting green fronds weakens the palm.
