Gulf Coast Palms

About Gulf Coast Palms

Mary Esther sits on the north shore of Santa Rosa Sound, and in late afternoon the water past the docks turns the color of green bottle glass. Gulf Coast Palms cares for yards in this small sound-side city, where palms frame front walks and the breeze off the water rarely quits. Here lawn care comes with palms at the center: trimming spent fronds, keeping trunks clean, and holding the grass beneath them even and green. Summers on the Emerald Coast bring thick heat and quick squalls, and fall answers with clear skies and the first cool mornings. A palm trimmed right against that sky is one of the coast's simple pleasures, and leaving one standing tall and tidy is the whole point.
