Different palm tree types planted in a front yard, in front of a Florida house

Palm trees are iconic symbols in Florida, and they can transform your property into a stunning oasis. 

However, installing these majestic plants requires expertise and careful planning so they thrive in their new environment. DIY installation can often result in stunted growth, poor health, or even tree death. DIY attempts can lead to costly mistakes and wasted time and resources.

International Society of Arboriculture (ISA)-certified arborists, like Grasshoppers, have the expertise to make sure your palm trees are installed correctly. Professionals can also give them the best chance to flourish and enhance your property’s beauty for years to come.

Palm Tree Planting Services

Planting palm trees is not as simple as digging a hole and dropping in a sapling. It’s easy to underestimate the complexity of palm tree planting, leading to improper placement, inadequate soil preparation, or choosing species unsuitable for the local climate. You have to account for the unique needs of palm trees without compromising the tree’s health and longevity.

Our services at Grasshoppers take the guesswork out of palm tree planting. We offer comprehensive planting and installation services tailored to each species’ specific requirements and your property’s characteristics.

Types of Palm Trees That Can Be Planted in Florida

Central Florida offers an ideal climate for a variety of palm species. Here are some popular options:

  • Sabal Palm
  • Queen Palm
  • Pindo Palm
  • Foxtail Palm
  • Pygmy Date Palm
  • European Fan Palm
  • Windmill Palm
  • Bottle Palm
  • Christmas Palm
  • Areca Palm

Regardless of which type of palm tree you get, they require regular watering, fertilizing (or mulching), trimming, and pruning. And for new palms, they require heavy watering twice a week.
