Sago Max

I specialize in trimming and beautifying Sago palm trees. I offer services to all other types of palms as well and can help to simplify or to add to your landscape. Sometimes weekly maintenance landscapers tend to Sago Palm Trees, but very rarely to they manicure them to have them look their best. My specialty is to shape and shave the trunk. This removes the old, gray, and sickly looking frond remnants from years of improper trimming. I continue to this process on all other Palm trees. The end result, on whatever palm you have, is the for you have the best looking palms in the neighborhood.

Sago Max was started in my backyard as I sat and looked at my Sagos one summer evening. It had been years since I touched them as I relied on my weekly maintenance guys to handle my landscaping needs. I knew they weren’t taking care of how I liked them to be, so I went ahead and “Maxxed” them out. It felt great to use my hands again, to sweat and get dirty. The end product was just how I envisioned them looking and how I remembered handling them so many years before. I called up one of my dear friends and asked if I could tend to his beautiful (but un manicured) Sago in his front yard. He didn’t realize that it wasn’t taken care of and that it could look so much better. He gave me the go ahead and Sago Max as we know it was created. I had my first client and the rest is history. I had recently gone through some very challenging things in my life and was not happy with my corporate position. I remembered back to 2008-2009 when I teamed up with a dear friend and bought and sold Sago Palm Trees. This is when I taught myself how to make the trees look their best. From trimming and leaving just the right amount of fronds to shaping and shaving the trunk to give a manicured appearance, my masterpieces were sought after. An opportunity presented itself and I fell back into the normal grind of being an employee. In 2008 is when I learned the craft, in 2019 I had the courage and the desire to make it into a business. I’m a local product raised in Fresno and graduate of Fresno State with a degree in Political Science. I’ve replaced a desk and computer with pruners and chainsaws to follow my dream of going to work every day with a smile on my face. The old saying goes “If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.”
