    Thanks a bunch for the upload man. I have a couple of fan palms here in my garden in south Australia. I used this method and they came up looking beautiful. Greatly appreciated 👍

    Man Benitez, you guys are awesome, that's some hard work that you make look easy but it's not. I hope you charge what you're worth because that's time consuming tedious and very messy work. After you're done with the blade work, next comes the pick up and clean up of all that junk!! Two big thumbs up to you guys and thanks for showing us how it's done!!

    I recommend tarps underneath your working area, it helps with the clean up.

    We have only one Palm tree and it grew tall. I was wondering how the Palm trees were trimmed, as I never saw this done. I thought a machine did the cleaning? Thanks for informing us how it is done. Now to get my son to work! Scary about the scorpions and spiders, thanks for the warning!

    Can you skin it all the way to the top? Or why just 3ft?
    I am doing some but its my first time

    • @mr.benitezhimself
      @mr.benitezhimself  10 месяцев назад +2

      You can skin as high as you want.
      In this case. The client wanted to do 3ft every season

    • @gregorycook81
      @gregorycook81 4 месяца назад

      My question also. Why 3ft because you charge by the foot and client wanted to manage that cost?

    What time of year should I do this?
    How tall/old should a tree grow before I do this?

    • @mr.benitezhimself
      @mr.benitezhimself  Год назад +1

      I’d do this before spring/summer. Make sure the palms are at least 5ft + or taller

  • @socalsand86
    @socalsand86 Год назад +1

    Why only 3’ a year? If my palm is about 10’ to the green up top can I skin more than 3’ up at once?

    • @mr.benitezhimself
      @mr.benitezhimself  10 месяцев назад +3

      In this case, the client wanted me to go 3’ a year. It gets costly by the foot, or to skin a whole palm.

  • @canohernandez5276

    How much do you charge for 1 palm. Average?

  • @brucebirch3608
    @brucebirch3608 10 месяцев назад

    How much does something like this cost to do per tree. You charge hourly rate or you charge by tree. How long does it take you to do one tree 3’. This is cool I always wondered why those palms looked like this at the bottom sections.

      @@WildlifeWarrior-cr1kk thank you. I live in Bonaire, island off the coast of venezuela and the palm shaving is getting more popular over here and we have these same palms. I can do the work but no idea on pricing. So thank you so much for the info bro🙏

    • @mr.benitezhimself
      @mr.benitezhimself  10 месяцев назад

      I charge by the foot, or a discounted price if I skin the whole palm. US dollar price

  • @dominicc6988
    @dominicc6988 3 года назад +2

    Does this method of skinning apply across different palm tree species? For instance, where I live, I have Sabal Palmettos and the boot splits at the base. I want to skin mine bc I think they look more presentable but I don't want to damage them.

    • @mr.benitezhimself
      @mr.benitezhimself  3 года назад +1

      No each palm has a different way to get skinned/shaved

    I think they should always wear gloves for skinning or trimming any palm trees because it is very important for safety
