Palm Tree Doctor is South Florida's leading palm expert. **We do not trim or remove trees or palms***
We have been operating out of Pompano Beach since 1991. Palm Tree Doctor is the original palm specialist. We diagnose palms, treat palms for spiraling whitefly, malnutrition and disease and also maintain nutrition on palms. We have three full time technicians and a full time office manager who answers the phone live. We do not use subcontractors. We have an $85 charge for a consultation. This amount will be applied toward any treatment performed by Palm Tree Doctor. An ISA Certified Arborist will diagnose and evaluate your palms and in most cases, can perform the service at time of consultation. If diagnosis is uncertain, or if you are not satisfied by the Arborist's diagnosis, there will be no charge.
Company failed to respond to request for quote. Didn't even bother to contact me to discuss or come by for a quote. Would not hire this company under any circumstances.

Our Palms were failing and we called the Palm Tree Doctor. We only had one treatment and some new growth developed on two of the three trees. Instead of continuing I chose to hire a maintenance service to regularly treat my plants.

This man LOVES palm trees; knows all about them. Washingtonian is a goner but the Foxtail and Jelly are on the road to recovery. He is cheaper than buying a replacement tree. Very reasonable price. Second time I have used them.
Description of Work: Just had them out to look at some sick palm trees: a Washingtonian, a Foxtail and a Jelly. You know it is not good when he asks to take a photo because it is the worst bug infestation he has ever seen.

Description of Work: I called because I had a palm tree that the trunk was splitting near the canopy. We discussed the tree problem; however, he informed me that there was nothing I could do but did say that it should be safe if not for a severe hurricane.

Mike called me shortly after he inspected the palms and reported that to an untrained eye the palms may have appeared to have a problem with the dropping leaves, but Mike informed me that the palms had just been weathered a bit, and did not need any servicing and would be just fine. He also gave me some very good tips on how to take care of palms (what to do and what not to do) I was renting my house as I am currently living out of state and he had every chance to make a sale or convince me to spend a lot of money taking care of the palms, and I would not have known the difference, but instead he was extremely honest with his assessment. His knowledge of palm trees was also very professional. I would definitely recommend the Palm Tree Doctor to anyone who needs their palms looked at and would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Mike from the Palm Tree Doctor was very responsive and was able to go to my house very soon after I called for an appointment. I had 3 Royal Palms that appeared in distress and needed to be looked at.

Hello [removed member name]. I know it's frustrating to leave a message that goes unanswered. We never received a voicemail from you. We take pride in returning each and every voicemail. There are several other companies with names similar to ours. Perhaps you called another company. We don't remove trees, but can recommend a reputable landscaper. Please call us at 954-946-3600 if you would like a recommendation.

WOW WOW WOW! These guys are amazing. This is not a company out for your money - they truly care about keeping your property and palms healthy and beautiful. They are the REAL deal too - arborists that may specialize in Palms, but they are not lacking in their knowledge of other trees and plants. I had Michael out, one of the two arborists to consult on a large palm i had that was dying (ganoderma :( ) and to check my other palms out. He was a pleasure to meet and walk through my property with. Not only did he focus attention on my palms that needed help - but he also provided useful, honest feedback on my other trees and plants on my property ONLY due to his desire to insure everything is happy and healthy. Finally - what struck me as amazing was his honesty and desire to educate me during his short time at my house. In south florida - you DO NOT find that in alot in most industries, but specifically in the landscaping industry. I'd do business with them again, and would recommend them to anyone and EVERYONE that would listen to me. Trust me on that.

I will call them again should I need them.
Description of Work: I contacted Palm Tree Doctor and was asked to email a picture of my tree to them. Upon examination of the picture by them, they made a determination that the tree had been struck by lightening and the "core" had been killed and therefore the tree could not be saved. They did not waste my time, or my money. I repect that.

Excellent. He was the most knowledgeable palm specialist I have ever talked to. He made recommendations that were for the best interest of the plants and not what the 'owners want'. He scheduled a free of charge follow-up business and arrived on time as promised and did his entire inspections again. He honored his free of charge promise and did not try to upsell anything to me. A true professional who takes pride in his craft.

I called the Palm Tree Doctor on Nov 10th and told Mike I thought my formerly gorgeous Sylvestris Palm was in danger of dying. We set up an appointment for the 12th and Mike arrived on time. After examining my problem tree he assured me my tree was indeed healthy and not in any danger. But the tree had been badly pruned by a previous landscaper. The landscaper had advised me to add a few more feet of soil surrounding my tree which Mike explained was the worse thing I could have done. He told me I should remove the added soil back to the original height. He also gave the tree some needed nutrients. He then examined my other trees, including 2 coconut palms. This man was absolutely wonderful. He spent considerable time advising me on how to properly care for my trees. He also told me to call him anytime I had a question. When we first spoke I was told the fee was $75 for him to come out to my house and check on the trees. I totally expected after the amount of time and effort he put into doing his job, that the final bill would be over $300.00. To my shock, the charge was only the original $75.00 quoted. If you have any questions or problems with your palm trees you must call Mike. He is extremely knowledgable and a pleasure to deal with. I only wish I had more reasons to use his services.
Description of Work: Examined my Sylvestris Palm and numerous Phoenix Roebelenii Palms. Added some nutrients to my Sylvestris and educated me about how to care for these trees. He also suggested I changed the amount of soil surrounding my large tree.

GREAT! Mike arrived on time and was extremely knowledgeable about palms, soil, nutrients, location, etc. He took his time to explain what he would do to save our very sad looking bottle palms and a Christmas palm and also explained what I should do in the future to fertilize and maintain our trees. He was a pleasure to work with and the price was reasonable. I will definitely hire them again to keep our trees healthy and happy!
