First yr in this house, 3 large palms dropped 20 million seeds all over the yard! Had trees trimmed...more seeds dropped. What is the best way to get them out of the grass?...a rake & shop vac is where I'm headed!


Well, sounds like you're in a pickle with all those palm seeds scattered all over your yard! It's a common problem when you have large palm trees, especially after trimming them. But don't worry, there are a few things you can do to get those seeds out of your grass.

Here's what others have found helpful:

  1. Rake the seeds: One of the simplest and most effective ways to get rid of palm seeds is to use a sturdy rake to gather them up. Make sure to go over the area a few times to get as many seeds as possible.
  2. Use a blower: Another option is to use a leaf blower to blow the seeds into a pile, which you can then rake up. Make sure to use the lowest setting so you don't damage your grass.
  3. Hire a professional: If you're feeling overwhelmed or don't have the time or energy to tackle the job yourself, you can always hire a professional landscaping company to do the work for you.

Remember, this is a time-consuming process, but if you're up for it, you can save yourself some money by doing it yourself instead of hiring a professional. However, if you're feeling overwhelmed, it may be worth it to hire a professional to do the job for you.
