Professional Palm Services in San Diego, CA

San Diego’s iconic palms offer shade, structure, and curb appeal. SavATree’s ISA certified arborists have extensive local experience with warm-climate palm species, including sabal, date, and queen palms.

In actuality, palms are not trees, they are classified as large, woody herbs, more closely related to grasses.

Proper care is key to preserving the health, safety, and beauty of your palms. Working with a local SavATree expert ensures your trees receive customized attention and long-term protection.

Palm Trimming

Our team performs strategic pruning to:

Remove dead or hanging fronds Improve palm health and structure
Reduce the risk of breakage or damage during storms
Improper trimming can compromise palm health, leading to reduced vigor and loss of nutrients.

In this weakened state, palms are more susceptible to various diseases and insect infestations. Our certified arborists are trained to apply best practices for every cut, preserving the health and structural integrity of your palms.

Palm Removal

Removal may be necessary when palms are:

Dead or severely declining
Damaged by storms
Causing structural interference

Our trained crews use advanced equipment and follow safety regulations to complete each removal with care.

Palm Health, Fertilization, and Disease Management

Common palm issues in the San Diego area include:
Lethal bronzing Weevil infestations
Nutrient deficiencies
Fungal infections such as Ganoderma

An ISA certified arborist can recommend a treatment plan that best suits the needs of your palm depending on species, local climate, and the specific insect or disease condition. SavATree also offers ArborHealth® fertilization and ArborKelp® biostimulant applications to support long-term palm vitality.

The whole process from start to finish was very good. Prompt. Professional. Attentive to detail & safety...not just for us but for our trees. As Andrew explained, they would rather try and save trees than cut them...but these trees needed to come down. He and his crew were fabulous & I would highly recommend. them!

I can’t recommend Eric from Save a Tree highly enough. When I noticed something wrong with our citrus tree, he responded quickly and came out to assess the situation. He identified a fungus problem right away and put together a clear plan to treat and save the tree. This isn’t just any tree. It’s been on our property for years and produces the sweetest oranges you’ve ever tasted. Family and...

We had a huge, very old elm tree that spanned 100 ft over our house, as well as large portions of ours and neighbors yards, a fence and landscaping. From the time Dylan first came with evaluation and free estimate, very fair quote and fantastic, professional, knowledgeable removal crew we were very impressed and satisfied. They also treated other trees. Will readily use them again and highly...

Top to bottom great experience. I’ve gotten many consultations concerning my trees and landscape but savatree was the best. The arborist Shane was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to do a thorough consultation. Many companies have tried to get us to take down our old oak but Shane took the time to do a follow up consult and measured how much of a risk the tree is and has suggested...

We had an all day job scheduled for 10/10/25. The crew came on time even though we were slated for flood watch and finished the job. The trees look so much better and are not in jeopardy of splitting in the wind. The lead even offered to cut back and remove a dying part of our citrus tree in the back that was not in the original scope of work. Highly recommend.

My experience with this company was good. The arborist who initially came out to look at the tree that I needed to have removed, was full of information and good advice. They handled the project of getting the permit from the City of Oakland, and while getting the permit took some time, I'm quite sure that wasn't the fault of SavATree. This was a large tree and a two day job. The crew showed...

I spoke with Phil W. to learn more about my tree a couple years ago. It was nearing the end of its life cycle and I managed to keep it going a couple more years by keeping the lower branches trimmed off. It finally had to go, along with a couple other plum trees. The price was very reasonable and everything was handled professionally. I highly recommend them.

SavATree / Arborscapes completed a deep Fall pruning at our home today. These folks know what they’re doing! Fidel and his crew did a great job shaping all our bushes…many of which were overgrown. They were on time, diligent and knowledgeable. I don’t hesitate to give five stars to this crew. Thanks guys. Nice job!

Great tree experts and service! They were prompt with the initial visit and quote. I had 3, non-native 30' trees removed and they provided attentive care to protect the surrounding plants and smaller trees. Very speedy and safe practices. Very reasonable pricing. Would highly recommend for your tree needs.

The SavAtree team was great! They were quick to return my request for an estimate and were able to get someone to our house in just a few days. Zach walked us through the work that needed to be done and provided us with a clear easy to understand estimate. We did review an estimate from a different tree company, but went with SaveAtree as their service was faster and more comprehensive plus...
