Few plants say “coastal living” more than palms. From stately Sabal Palmettos to showy Traveler Palms, these trees instantly create a tropical, welcoming feel. For homeowners, businesses, and event planners in Murrells Inlet, Myrtle Beach, and throughout the Grand Strand, palms remain one of the most sought-after additions to any outdoor space. At C-Scapes Mulch & More, we carry a wide selection of palms, provide delivery and installation support, and help customers choose the right varieties for their needs.
Whether you’re planting a single palm as a dramatic centerpiece, lining a driveway with smaller varieties, or renting palms to decorate a wedding venue, our team has the knowledge and supplies to make it easy.
Why Palms Thrive in Coastal South Carolina
South Carolina’s coastal climate is perfectly suited for palms. With hot summers, mild winters, and sandy, well-drained soils, our environment helps palms flourish. Unlike more delicate trees, palms are resilient in wind and adapt well to different conditions, making them ideal for beachfront communities like Murrells Inlet and Surfside Beach. Palms also require relatively little maintenance once established. With the right start — proper planting depth, soil amendment, and watering schedule — they provide years of beauty without constant upkeep. That’s why they’re such a popular choice for both homeowners and commercial properties in the Grand Strand area.Popular Palm Varieties at C-Scapes
