    Thanks a bunch for the upload man. I have a couple of fan palms here in my garden in south Australia. I used this method and they came up looking beautiful. Greatly appreciated 👍

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

    Man Benitez, you guys are awesome, that's some hard work that you make look easy but it's not. I hope you charge what you're worth because that's time consuming tedious and very messy work. After you're done with the blade work, next comes the pick up and clean up of all that junk!! Two big thumbs up to you guys and thanks for showing us how it's done!!

    We have only one Palm tree and it grew tall. I was wondering how the Palm trees were trimmed, as I never saw this done. I thought a machine did the cleaning? Thanks for informing us how it is done. Now to get my son to work! Scary about the scorpions and spiders, thanks for the warning!

    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
      @mr.benitezhimself  9 місяців тому +2

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

      My question also. Why 3ft because you charge by the foot and client wanted to manage that cost?

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

    • @mr.benitezhimself
      @mr.benitezhimself  10 місяців тому +1

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

  • @brucebirch3608
    @brucebirch3608 9 місяців тому

    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.

  • @socalsand86
    @socalsand86 Рік тому +1

    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
      @mr.benitezhimself  9 місяців тому +3

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

      @@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
      @mr.benitezhimself  9 місяців тому

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

  • @dominicc6988
    @dominicc6988 3 роки тому +2

    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

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