First picture is before (wish I had a taller one) and second pic is afterward. Did some research afterwards and it said it could take years to come back and he basically clear cut it.

Rough! Too often I see palms with the boots removed prematurely. This a leap beyond that.
Not an arborist but I’m a horticulturist. Look, it’s not ideal, but it could be worse. When I’ve seen this done, the palm usually recovers. It’s not working against its habit or anything; it just needs to grow upward a bit more and replace the lost fronds. Wouldn’t do it again, though. Not familiar with the species.
This is why we don’t let landscapers come anywhere close to our trees. People think I put mesh around my plantings to keep deer and rabbits at bay but it’s mostly to keep the landscapers from getting too close and getting funny ideas.
who on this sub does tree work with palms? I’m very curious
