Why Proper Palm Installation Matters
A palm can look great on install day and still struggle later if the basics are missed. For that reason, we focus on correct depth, stable placement, and a clean bed finish so your palms establish with less stress and look better for years.
We plan for long-term success:
- Placement that avoids rooflines, gutters, and tight corners
- Spacing that prevents overcrowding as palms mature
- Bed prep that looks clean and keeps trunks properly exposed
- Irrigation compatibility so watering is consistent
Common mistakes we help you avoid:
- Planting too deep (one of the fastest ways to create problems)
- Random layout that feels unbalanced from the street
- Placing palms too close to structures and hardscape
- Skipping finishing details like edging, cleanup, and bed reset
Upgrade the Look at Night With Lighting
Palms look even better after dark. For that reason, many homeowners add landscape lighting during installation. A few well-placed uplights can make your front entry and backyard feel significantly more polished.

QWhich palms look best for Lakewood Ranch curb appeal?
It depends on your home’s scale and the look you want. Many front-yard installs use Foxtails for a clean silhouette or Sylvesters for a bold statement, while smaller spaces can benefit from Christmas palms or tighter groupings. We’ll recommend a few options and choose placement that looks balanced from the street.
QHow do you decide spacing and placement for long-term growth?
We plan for mature canopy size, sightlines, and clearance from rooflines, gutters, driveways, and hardscape. Proper spacing prevents overcrowding, makes maintenance easier, and helps palms stay healthier over time. If you want the whole yard to feel cohesive, starting with landscape design is often the best first step.
QCan you replace dying or poorly placed palms?
Yes. We can remove failing or awkwardly placed palms, reset beds, and install new palms that fit the space and layout. If the project includes fresh rock/mulch or a bed refresh, we can bundle it into a larger landscape installation scope for a cleaner finished look.
QWhat should I do in the first 30–90 days after installation?
Consistent watering is the biggest factor early on, especially in heat or full sun. We’ll give you a simple watering rhythm based on season and exposure, plus guidance on keeping mulch/rock levels clean (not piled against trunks). If you want the palms to pop at night, adding landscape lighting during install is a popular upgrade.
