Document Description
This project will involve the removal of a dead windmill palm stump and the removal of one living windmill palm that is showing signs of decline. Stump and ball removal will be done with a fecon stump grinder for minimal disturbance. The palms will be replaced with 10” windmill palms for an asymmetrical look which is accurate with how the palms were historically. The windmill palms are of historical significance to the Adamson House, serving to frame the entrance gates and enhancing the historic landscape and visitor experience.
