Default If to BIG..
The you might have to contact your local landscape company. Im talking about big though like if your palm tree is over 20 feet.

Default Make sure you have someone spotting you underneath
so you dont fall and bust your butt... it hurts trust me, and hopefully noone is looking..

Default So did you ever bust your butt?
There is also art to pruning, unless you want a conglomerate of leaves in different areas. Maybe pick up a book about pruning from RPT or Branes and Noble.
