Brisbane's Most Commonly Removed Tree

The cocos palm is Brisbane's most removed tree and for good reason. They produce dense, messy seed clusters that stain paths and driveways, attract fruit bats in large numbers, and can drop heavy frond bunches without warning.

We remove all palm species across Brisbane's north and east: cocos palms, bangalow palms, date palms, foxtail palms, traveller's palms, and fan palms. Each species has its own removal challenges cocos palms are messy, date palms are heavy and spiny, tall foxtails require rope access. We bring the right gear for each job.

Palm Tree Removal Questions

How much does palm tree removal cost in Brisbane?+

Small palms under 3m cost from $90–$200. Medium palms (3–7m) typically $200–$450. Tall palms (7–15m+) range from $450 to $1,200+ depending on height, access, and how many fronds need clearing. Cocos palms usually sit mid-range due to the messy frond removal required.

Are cocos palms protected in Brisbane?+

No. Cocos palms (Syagrus romanzoffiana) are an invasive exotic species and are generally not protected under Brisbane City Council vegetation protection provisions. They are the most commonly removed palm in Brisbane.

Do I need a permit to remove a palm tree in Brisbane?+

Most palms are not protected under BCC's vegetation provisions. However, some native palms (like the Bangalow palm) may be protected in certain zones. We check before quoting — just send us your address.

What do you do with the fronds and trunk?+

Palm fronds and trunk sections are chipped where possible or cut into manageable lengths for removal. Palm material can't always be shredded through a standard chipper due to the fibrous trunk — we carry the right equipment for palm jobs.

Can palm tree roots damage foundations?+

Palm root systems are generally fibrous and non-invasive compared to ficus or camphor laurel. They're unlikely to cause structural damage, but can clog drains and become a hazard near pools or on embankments.
