Mr Benitez trimmed and skinned 2 very tall palms for me about 2.5 years ago. Great time. Money well spent. Trees look great. Glad I didn’t have to clean up or haul away.
How much did he charge
Not enough @@WildlifeWarrior-cr1kk
I remember you, your husband, your son, and your palms my friend 😄🌴🌴
Great work thanks for the education
Really enjoyed this video. How much can you charge for skinning? Is it per tree or per vertical foot? I'm located in Utah.
Very good work... how long did it take you?
A little bit over an hour
If I remember correctly
Great work! California palms is among my favorites. A combo with California palm and a large Brahea Armata next to it is hard to beat.
What is the least cold hardy palms you see growing in Las Vegas?
Ever encountered Bismarcks, queens or maybe Robilinis etc there?
Great question! Sago & queen palms usually don’t do well during the winter.
Is a Bismarck the same as a sable palm ? Cause they look a little similar
If so, yes I do come a Bismarck often, queen palms 24/7 , and robilinis , yes
They thrive here in the desert 🏜️
@@mr.benitezhimself cool, Bismarcks are slightly more hardy than queens I think.
No, Bismarck and Sables are not the same even though there is some Sables that look very similar to it like Sable Uresana.
Bismarck is a Blue/Silver fan palm from Madagascar it gets gigantic both vertically and horizontally and grows fast in very hot wheater.
I do this craft in Florida. The trees out west look so much dryer and I notice when the fronds are removed, they are cutting close to the body and creating flap with the petioles. My craft is similar and I would put my trees up against any… Dang! Wish we could post pictures!
Aye!! Are you an arborist ? I like the terminology you used
These days u don’t cut too close (flush cuts)
When I first started 4-5 years ago, I didn’t know any better
Even though you can't attach photos in the comments, you can create a Google photos link to the pics and share the link in the comments.
You do quality work. Very, very nice!
I recently started watching your videos I learned a lot from you so far I did one of my palms trees but now I need a estimate on cutting 2 palms trees they to closed to the pool
If you live in Vegas I can take a look at the palms for a free quote
@@mr.benitezhimself I will contact you yes I live in Las Vegas
Beautiful
Agreed
Yes I am
Speak for yourself 😂
@@mr.benitezhimself I am speaking for myself
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
When did you decide you could skin more than 3 feet at a time?
Depending on the palms
Clients requests
The tree will tell you when to stop. I’ve had customers wanting me to go beyond the limit… I tell them no. 180-45 degrees on canopy, fronds come off with 4-6 inches remaining. Shaving is done one level at a time and Florida trees get so much cleaner because of humidity. Out west palms are so dusty!!
Can I ask why you didn't clean all the complete palm? Is because you miss the gear or the person judt want a bit of the palm or always is important to let some of the stuff for the healthy of the palm?
How much was it ?
A lot of US dollars 💸
How many hours did it take you?
1 hour to skin this palm
@@mr.benitezhimself what’s your man hour rate ?
@Lumber_Jacked25 this is a client of mine of 3 years. I charged her for the job
Not by the hour
@@mr.benitezhimself nice !
@@Lumber_Jacked25 thanks for watching! Climb safe. You had great questions. The more specific, the better I can answer.
How do u charge for skinning, by the foot? And how much? I want to get into doing that as a side hustle, thanx
Lots of US dollars
how much do you charge per foot that you skin
@@jimmierev4220 every type of palm varies
id just use a chainsaw
To each their own I guess
But I’ll still do my method
Bro is the only one with a truck and trailer 😂😂😂
And thriving 💪🏼

Don't look in good condition
It’s thriving
