    I've seen several 'beards' like that on palms here, in Vegas. I often wonder how they survive the 4th. One bottle rocket into that mess, and it's like an explosion.
    My old neighborhood had one over the sidewalk, right down to head height it was easily 15 feet of dead fronds.
    The 17 years over due roof next to it??? Super dry cedar shingles. They have a 20x15 blue tarp as their 'temporary' repair, the same as the first day I saw it, summer of '14.

    I don't know what state you're in but in Florida we have to have Street cones to let the traffic know what's going on and keep them out of Harm's Way. And the only other thing that I seen was in conjunction with his Rappel rope he should have been using his lanyard also. God forbid the saw kicks and cuts Rappel rope. Safety is always number one priority. You only fall one time from that height. Other than that nice cut.

      Wyatt Smith Maybe so, but here in Las Vegas clients call me to trim these types of palm trees because of rat/birds nest, scorpions, and all the seed pods falling off and landing on their roof during strong winds. Plus, in my opinion, palm trees are beautiful and really accentuates the property 💯👍🏼

      y2knoproblem based on your comment, I can tell you’re not very educated when it comes to palm tree trimming. So let me educate you really quick;
      1: there’s no amount of dead palm fronds that can do damage to roof or fence because they are so light in weight.
      2: green palm fronds could do damage so you control where we land those.
      3: the client was well aware of that was going to happen and was perfectly fine with it
      4:you climb this tree and do it yourself without having any palm fronds fall on the roof and gate🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️
