[@mr.benitezhimself]

GREAT JOB BROTHA"

[@tacokiller5638]

I recommend tarps underneath your working area, it helps with the clean up.

[@mr.benitezhimself]

Yup

[@tacokiller5638]

That ramborista merch 🤙🔥

[@lucyrobbins7805]

Thank for the video. Just wondered why this process is necessary? Might it help fix a dying palm tree?

[@brucemartini2288]

Can hear Billy Preston now, "going around in circles"😂

[@mr.benitezhimself]

Round and round

Does this method of skinning apply across different palm tree species? For instance, where I live, I have Sabal Palmettos and the boot splits at the base. I want to skin mine bc I think they look more presentable but I don't want to damage them.

[@mr.benitezhimself]

No each palm has a different way to get skinned/shaved

[@dnaka723]

I like your technique....much less pulling.

[@mr.benitezhimself]

Thank you for watching

[@brucebirch3608]

How much does something like this cost to do per tree. You charge hourly rate or you charge by tree. How long does it take you to do one tree 3’. This is cool I always wondered why those palms looked like this at the bottom sections.

[@mr.benitezhimself]

I charge by the ft Depending on which palms

[@Vanguardcredit]

Can you skin it all the way to the top? Or why just 3ft? I am doing some but its my first time

[@mr.benitezhimself]

You can skin as high as you want. In this case. The client wanted to do 3ft every season

[@socalsand86]

Why only 3’ a year? If my palm is about 10’ to the green up top can I skin more than 3’ up at once?

[@mr.benitezhimself]

In this case, the client wanted me to go 3’ a year. It gets costly by the foot, or to skin a whole palm.

[@darkwar12345]

How much do you charge to do the skinning part

[@WildlifeWarrior-cr1kk]

He probably charges twenty to twenty five per foot

[@davidbiller8813]

What time of year should I do this? How tall/old should a tree grow before I do this?

[@mr.benitezhimself]

I’d do this before spring/summer. Make sure the palms are at least 5ft + or taller

[@LILDOG13]

How much you charging for skinning and a light trim and on 10 foot tall wide palm ?

[@mr.benitezhimself]

I would need to see the palm for any time of quote

[@joshuadenheyer4008]

What do you charge for skinning palms bro. Going small medium large

[@WildlifeWarrior-cr1kk]

He probably charges twenty two twenty five per foot

[@joshuadenheyer4008]

@@WildlifeWarrior-cr1kk thank you. I live in Bonaire, island off the coast of venezuela and the palm shaving is getting more popular over here and we have these same palms. I can do the work but no idea on pricing. So thank you so much for the info bro🙏

[@mr.benitezhimself]

I charge by the foot, or a discounted price if I skin the whole palm. US dollar price

[@Rocketman0407]

How about using a sander for the finishing touch?

[@mr.benitezhimself]

Not recommended

[@The_Candyman86]

[@The_Candyman86]

How far up do i skin my washingtonia palm?

[@mr.benitezhimself]

@The_Candyman86 as high as it lets you

[@connortheamphibia90sfan27]

I think they should always wear gloves for skinning or trimming any palm trees because it is very important for safety

[@mr.benitezhimself]

Sure is

[@22siniko]

Do I need a contractors license to do this type of jobs?

[@mr.benitezhimself]

I am not a contractor but I do have my busjj on business licenses for each county/city I do business in, plus insurance to do these type of jobs

[@sjdjs0405]

How much do u charge for just one of those ?

[@mr.benitezhimself]

By the ft $12-20+
