Hi. I know someone who did a very good job of pruning my palm trees. He was very professional and very reasonable. If you’re interested private message me with your mobile number and l will reply with his business card. We paid €90 to prune three of them. He may give you a “quantity discount” if you have 23 palm trees. Paul

I would recommend research prior to employing anyone, trimming palm trees isn't always as simple as it appears.
The main reason being that trimming hanging limbs releases an attraction to any local palm weevil, which you must avoid at all costs. They are destructive and once established are really difficult to eradicate. Not withstanding the legal implications following any infestation. A short internet search will give you all the information and depending on the variety of tree recommendations for the best time to prune.
Obviously employing a local with this knowledge will give you peace of mind.

If you wait long enough you may be lucky and have a knock on The door from an elderly bearded Moroccan? Gentleman. He will spot the trees and see they need attention. Don’t be afraid to use him. Haggle a price and he returns some days later with his son and a large white van. They work fast and leave the place spotless. They only require a few bottles of water. Highly recommended and trustworthy. Sorry I don’t have a number. I don’t think he does either..!!!!! Lol. Good luck.! But 27 trees???? WOW..!
