How about for our referral list, palm tree trimmers who do small jobs.
I have 4 Mexican Fans that need a trim. I called emailed and texted multiple guys on yelp. Some never replied at all, others asked for a photo but never followed up after I sent one.
They don’t absolutely need a trim and the dried tops provide a bit of shade in the summer. But it also is a home for noisy crows, and my prior trim was because wood wasps were nesting in them. These are harmless, I’d attack their nest from a spray can and they never attacked. But they freak guests out since they are karge and there are a lot of them. For whatever reason they haven’t come back the past two years. Instead this year I have a lot of shiny green beetles.
