Default Re: How do you spikeless climb big palms?

I find people get you in when the palms reach chaos levels.

After many many chats I tell them not to let them get berries and depending on the season clean maybe every 6 to 9 months.

But oh no, every 2 years when it's a shit fight they want it done, cheap, and the same price as 2 years ago.

It's the most undercut yet dangerous thing you'll do.

They care not if you spike them usually, they only care how cheap you do it. In some resorts etc you might get better work and do them from a tower etc but for urban yards, you're the janitor but paid worse.
