Julie's Journal
Good girls have diaries... Bad girls have blogs!It’s been 4 years now since we’ve had our palm trees cleaned and they were looking really rough and so ugly. So bad that random tree service guys would knock on our door and ask if we’d like them cleaned up. LOL!
It’s a really expensive service, and the taller the palm trees are, the higher the cost goes up. We have 7 total in our yard, but the 5 that run along the wall in the backyard are the tallest. The other two are fairly small still and we can easily clean them with a step ladder.
Last week another random tree service guy knocked on our door and said he’d do them for $80, so we jumped at that offer. The only catch is, he didn’t do the removal, so we have them bundled on the side of the house and per our trash company we can take 5 bundles out per trash day. Doing the math in my head, we should have the bundles out of here by Thanksgiving. HA!
Here are the before and after pictures. Just look at how much more sunlight comes through to our backyard now! All I need now is some discount furniture for the patio, so we can enjoy the sunshine.

I had no idea palm trees needed maintenance like that. Learn something new every day!
Question to your other commenters: does your first name get saved in the email field here or is it just me?

I remember palm trees from when I lived in Calif., but never remember them being trimmed.
Amy – they get pretty ugly and plus critters like MICE like to live up in them.
Breezie – not ALL of them need trimming, but these “Fan Palms” do, and so do our smaller “Date Palms.”
Deb D on 28 October, 2008 at 4:38 pm I had NO idea that palm trees needed cleaning. I guess that’s what I get for living up north
Deb D´s last blog post..Time Flies
Deb – I bet you’ll notice it now more when you come across pictures of them online. LOL!
I personally like the shag. Maybe it’s just me 
Health and Nature Blog – it wouldn’t be so bad if creepy crawlies didn’t live up there in them.
Cool Palms! I love palm trees!
Yeh mine does get in the email rather than my email address (but I can comment today so I’m not allowed to complain!)
Hannah´s last blog post..Back to Work
Hannah – I was going to mention that YAY, comments are working for you today!
I’m not sure what that auto-fill is about. I don’t think anyone else can see it but the actual user though.
Jules – I think it’s an error in your template. They probably have the email field value coded wrong.

Amy, did you just notice this or has it always been that way?
