I've got four palm trees which need trimming in front of the house.

Can anyone recommend a reasonable vendor? Location is East Mesa

My PM has someone but they are charging $85 per tree which seems rather expensive. Or am I wrong?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Default My nieghbor used this guy

If he does not serve your area, maybe he could recommend someone?

No financial gain for me, just sharing a pleased clients info!

I would recommend asking for a quote if your looking to have any work done.

O.k thanks.

I left him a voice message.

Tree vendors like landscaping, pool and AC vendors are plentiful. Fortunately, finding someone reasonable as well as reputable is never easy.

The guy my PM uses is good but wants $85 per tree (4 total) which seems rather steep.

Hopefully I can get some additional leads.

OP How tall/big are the palm trees. $50.00-$85.00 is the norm depending on size. Then there's clean-up, hauling away and paying to dump the trash. It's dangerous work for those who have to climb up those tall palms with a chain saw and trim off those fronds. Some folks have died from suffocating in the fronds. Make sure liability insurance is in play. As a homeowner you can be held liable if someone gets hurt on your property.

Two of the trees are fairly and I got a bid from a recommended vendor which is about the same as what my PM is asking.

I've got another bid coming tomorrow and if the quote is similar I will with my PM. This way he's responsible to ensure the work is done correct.
