Umm, very big!

Some of them would be 40-50 foot tall.

I had a rethink...

I am not taking any!

Have fun ripping them out, have you thought about using building equipment?

Just curious

Why did you buy a property with such beautiful palm trees and then go and bulldoze them ?
Why didnt you just buy a cleared block and let someone else buy that block who would enjoy them?

We wont be knocking them all down snags. We want to sculpture and revive the area as it has been let go for probably 10 years or so. Its terribly overgrown and most of the trees down there are in poor health.

The plan is to remove all the suffering palms and in certain areas just clumps of them to make way for a play area with flying fox, cubby house, swings, trampoline etc the kids. Then a pond and bbq area with maybe a gazebo or something.

That photo is a small snapshot of the area to tidy up and doesnt give any idea what we are trying to do. I probably should have been more specific in my opening post.

Advertise them, some idiots actually like them and will come and dig them up for you.
