1,100 lbs of palms here. (3) needle palms and (1) windmill palm.
Looks like I have a lot of work ahead of me later this afternoon to get them in the ground.

No Phoenix, lol. I like cold hardy ones that only have to be covered 3 months a year. I got them from Palms Unlimited out of Mobile, AL. Great company to work with and the palms look great. The pallet was 1,100 lbs and cost approx $1,200 shipped to my loading dock. The needles ARE huge. I didn't measure as it was getting dark by the time I completed installation, but I think they are about 5-6' tall from ground to top of fronds. The trachy is over my head.
Here's a teaser pic from the new landscaping I'm putting in for my work's new building. Warning: It's far from complete yet. I probably have another 30-45 days to wrap it up.
Next week I have 4-5 ton of rock coming to finish the pond.

Great! Super choices, and I like starting with big palms. 😀

That's too dang cool, man! I love the "island" trachy! You have a pretty awesome boss to give you free reign on the landscaping. That is sure to turn heads and drum up business.

Superb looking palms. Can't wait to see them all installed.
