So when you have a big bearded palm what do you feel is the easiest way to get started. An when you have a double or triple palm where you can jump palm to palm is the charge cheaper or the same. I know there's a risk factor have to jump across. Looking good.

I personally don’t use ladders. So use whatever your more comfortable doing SRT/DRT method I’m always firm on my prices and rarely give discounts tbh

[@toddjensen7816]

@@mr.benitezhimself No there's no discounts. I was referring to as having to go from palm to palm cause of the spacing versus being able to jump from palm to palm like you did. Just curious minds wanna know.

[@mr.benitezhimself]

Todd Jensen the price stays the same if you have two palms together or 3+ palms together Or if they are spaced out etc My prices will only vary depending on the height, amount of growth, how long it will take me, debris disposal, gas, etc But generally for this amount of growth (trimmed yearly) the price stays the same

Great video. How often do you have to cut your palm trees 🌴 I have a similar situation in my house 🏡 2 story home one palm tree is just about the tip off the second story and the other palm tree maybe 5 feet less . What type of chainsaw would you recommend me just for my house work for the 2 palm trees . Keep up the good work be careful

[@mr.benitezhimself]

O first and foremost, I don’t ever recommend you trim your own palms. I recommend you get the Stihl 200t to trim any trees, cut down any trees, and cut firewood. But like I said, let the professionals do their job. Stay safe! Thank you 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴

I've noticed your getting quicker at climbing palms with all the longer stubs. I also was thinking what is the life span of the zig zag

[@mr.benitezhimself]

Thank you my friend Practice practice practice I got mine 2 years ago🤔 idr anymore but, I really baby mine. I don’t use it during the rain, never fell in water, dropped, and always inspect it for cracks, or any wear and tear. I read, once metal starts to crack its time to get a new one

[@Heavy_metal_rulez]

I agree. I can't remember but I think their made out of aluminum, I could be wrong though. I'll have to find out

[@Heavy_metal_rulez]

That's my goal is taking good care of my gear. I only ask this question just for the fact that it's a mechanical device and anything mechanical breaks down over time. And how many seasons would you say a climbing line is good for?

[@Heavy_metal_rulez]

I've gone through many myself, and they weren't even damaged. I just like to replace them out of habit. But yea I do what you do and use the old ones to tie things down

[@mr.benitezhimself]

WildWestHVAC I replace mine every other season And yes! Reusing then is what I do as well And don’t start buying gear because once you do, you can t stop 😂 at least with me lol

Do these palm trees get a hurricane trim yearly ?

[@mr.benitezhimself]

Usually if they are on commercial properties or by a clients pool, I trim them every 6 months. 🌴🌴🌴 If not, every year.

[@carloscastelantorres7623]
