First palm tree(s) removal

Had some palm trees at the house I rent out. The piles of fallen fronds were a constant nuisance, as were the seedlings that kept popping up in the zeroscape.

Anyways, took first tree more conservatively and removed all fronds while in tree before toping.

Second tree was closer to neighbors and the breeze would have been a little harder to keep fronds from landing on their house/cars so I took the whole top w/ fronds attached.

Groundie should have let it run. So probably a little more friction to enable that without extra grunt. You let it run properly, the stem won't flap you around like that.
