I see you drop a lot of palms. Do the branches stick in the lawn or are they soft enough to just bend at the ground?

Rare they stick in the lawn but dead ones might.

The head leaves a few marks but no biggie, you just have to explain what's going on and why it's priced that way.

I have had really large headed mongrel tall palms that could have been dropped refused by customers coz of the lawn ... so they pay a lot more for less impact.

But don't forget, we got foam and stuff to lessen the impact if need be.

We use a conveyer matt from the mine here. we can drive the dingo on it and drop trees onto it. Heck one of the local contractor puts his 6 tonne digger on it with no dents in lawn. can save a lot of hassle.bit heavy but thats what the dingos for.

Ekka a palm like that would fetch bout $1k here for planting.add those up....
