To set up the Caribbean Style Palm, you'll need approximately 16 bags of 80-pound Quickrete. Next, dig a 30x30x15 inch deep hole. Once done with that use a post hole digger and dig a 12 inch diameter pier another 2.75ft deep. This with help with stability so the concrete pad does not tip over in storms. Make sure to use 4 #3 rebars to connect the square pad to the pier. The pier is securely connected to the cube using rebar, ensuring stability and strength. This concrete mix provides the necessary foundation for the palm's installation, supporting its weight and ensuring it remains firmly anchored.
Once concrete is poured, Artificial Palm Creation can install the palm trees for free in DFW and for a small fee in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Waco, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City.
For New Pool Builds, you do not need as much concrete if you are attaching the palm tree to the concrete deck that is being built with the pool. Please call us for further information on how much concrete is needed.
