Riverfront oaks and old-Florida tree care

Sebastian's canopy is riverfront canopy: live oaks and sabal hammocks running down to the Indian River Lagoon, with inlet wind working on anything that stands above the rooflines. We treat the old hardwoods preservation-first, pruning to keep them before we ever talk about taking one down, with ISA branch-collar cuts and before-and-after photos on every visit. We will not hat-rack a tree, whoever asks for it. A removal happens only when the tree has genuinely earned it.

Heritage oaks, Highlands pines, city permits

Structural pruning on the heritage live oaks down by the riverfront, sand pine removal on the Sebastian Highlands lots, and the city tree-preservation permit handled for you. Sebastian's tree ordinance is one of the stricter ones around, and we work to it on every job.

About Swift in Sebastian

Sebastian Tree Service,
Call (772) 773-6676

Swift Tree & Landscape is a family-owned, fully insured tree service run by owner-operators Danny Ramirez and Johnathan Portillo. Sebastian is an old-Florida fishing town where the Indian River meets the inlet, and we work the mature oak streets of the Highlands and the riverfront lots down by the water every week.

Here the permits run through Indian River County and, inside the city limits, the City of Sebastian, and we handle that for you. One honest note: mangroves on a riverfront lot fall under state DEP rules, and that trimming we refer out to a licensed mangrove specialist rather than pretend it is our wheelhouse.

What sets us apart here

Preservation-first on the riverfront

Sebastian still feels like the old Florida it was 80 years ago, and the live oaks and sabal hammocks are a big part of why. We treat every mature oak as preservation-first. Structural pruning before removal, always.

The Indian River County code is its own animal. We coordinate with county code enforcement on every qualifying job and the City of Sebastian when town code applies.

Tree removal: arborist cutting a felled trunk into rounds with a chainsaw

Tree Removal

When a tree has to come down, we take it down cleanly and haul off whatever you want gone. Sebastian has a strict tree-preservation ordinance, and every removal goes through a city review that we handle for you. Most calls are dead or dying live oaks, sand pines leaning toward the house, or laurel oaks past saving. ISA Certified Arborist, written quote in 4 hours, COI before any saw runs.

Tree trimming: pruning a branch with a pole saw

Tree Trimming & Pruning

Sebastian is heritage live oak country and the structural pruning standards matter more here than almost anywhere on the Treasure Coast. We follow ANSI A300, no topping, no lion-tailing on the heritage oaks, and we work to keep canopy density appropriate for both wind load and the city’s preservation expectations.

Palm trimming from a bucket truck lift

Palm Trimming

Sabals everywhere. Sebastian is named for them in spirit, plus queens and a few coconuts on the warmer protected lots. We trim to ISA palm protocol: no hurricane cuts that shorten palm life, no climbing spikes on living trunks, tools cleaned between properties so Ganoderma rot does not move through the older neighborhoods.

Stump grinding a pine stump with a stump grinder

Stump Grinding

Sandy Sebastian soil grinds clean. Depth matched to next step: 6 to 8 inches for sod, 12 to 18 for replant, deeper for paver pads or concrete. 811 location honored every job, the older Sebastian Highlands lots have shallow irrigation and electric runs in unexpected places.

Emergency tree service for a storm-downed tree lying across a yard

Emergency Tree Service

We pre-position equipment ahead of named storms. Storm calls here are mostly oak limb failure, queen palm uproot, and sand pine snap. A real person answers our 24/7 line. COI before any climber leaves the truck.

Palm trees bending in hurricane-force wind, the reason for hurricane prep tree work

Hurricane Prep

Sebastian’s heritage oaks are the priority. They take decades to establish and weeks to lose without proper pre-season pruning. Plus the queen palms and any pine close to structures. We walk the property pre-season, photograph high-risk trees, document removals or pruning in a format the city, your HOA, and insurance can all work from.

Land clearing with an excavator on a freshly cleared lot

Land & Lot Clearing

Sebastian’s tree-preservation ordinance shapes every clearing job. There are no shortcuts on heritage tree counts. We coordinate with city review, mark what stays before any equipment arrives, take out Brazilian pepper and other invasives, and leave heritage oaks and sabal stands standing. Builder COI with additional insured, debris manifest on every project.
