Looking for tree service in Vero Beach? Swift handles tree removal, tree trimming, palm care, and storm cleanup across Vero Beach, the Indian River barrier-island corridor, and Ocean Drive estates. Call before noon and we’re on-site the same day, written quote in your inbox within 4 hours. ISA Certified Arborist. Fully insured.
Most of our Vero Beach calls are the same handful of jobs: a big oak that needs thinning before storm season, a palm that has outgrown the house, a dead tree too close to the roof to leave standing. We come look at it, put the price in writing, and do the work with an arborist on the crew. We prune to keep healthy trees healthy and never top them, and you get before-and-after photos so you can see exactly what we did. Out on the barrier island the salt wind changes how we trim, so we plan around it.
A lot of Vero Beach trees need a city permit before they can come down (anything 3 inches across or wider, palms over 12 feet). We pull that permit for you so you are not the one standing in line at City Hall. And if you have a heritage oak you want to keep, we prune it to last instead of hacking it back.
Same-day on-site assessment when you call before noon, and the written quote lands in your inbox within 4 hours. ISA Certified Arborist, fully insured, family-owned. We send the COI before any crew steps on your property.
Call (772) 773-6676 and a real person answers, even at 2 a.m. during storms. Need a permit? We handle the county paperwork in-house. Financing available on jobs over $1,500. Or use the form on this page, written quote in 4 hours.
Swift Tree & Landscape is a family-owned, fully insured tree service run by owner-operators Danny Ramirez and Johnathan Portillo. Our crews are in Vero Beach every week for tree removal, trimming and pruning, palm care, stump grinding, and storm cleanup, and every job goes out with an ISA Certified Arborist on site and a written, itemized quote.
When you call, a real person picks up, even at 2 a.m. in a storm. We give you a straight answer on the phone, show up when we say we will, and clean up before we leave. If you have an old oak worth keeping, we prune to protect it. If one is a real hazard, we tell you plainly and handle the city permit paperwork for you.

We tell the truth on the phone, even when it costs us the booking. Itemized written quotes, no day-of surprises.
Daily crews dispatched from Port St. Lucie. Vero Beach is on the daily US-1 route.
We have worked the gated communities out on the island, John’s Island and Central Beach, and the inland neighborhoods west of the lagoon. The island is a different kind of job: constant salt wind off the Atlantic, HOA committees to clear, and gatehouse access to set up ahead of time. We handle all of that, and county permit coordination comes with any job that needs one.
On the palms, coconuts, royals, and sabals do well near the water. Queen palms we usually steer people away from, because they do not last in that wind.

This company is all about the customer- ease of scheduling, communication, quality of the job, follow up etc. I couldn't be happier and the price was reasonable.

Great work and nice to work with

When a tree has to come down, we take it down cleanly, in sections when it is close to the house, and grind or haul away whatever you want gone. Inside Vero Beach city limits most removals need a permit first (anything 3 inches across or wider), so we pull that for you. An arborist looks at the tree before we quote, and the written price is in your inbox within 4 hours.

Good pruning keeps a tree healthy and off your roof. We thin and shape to ANSI A300 standards, which in plain terms means no topping and no stripping a canopy bare. Vero Beach is full of old live oaks worth doing right, so we take the time to cut them properly and work historic-neighborhood jobs around the city’s preferred windows.

We trim palms the way they are meant to be trimmed: dead fronds and seed pods off, healthy green fronds left on so the palm keeps feeding itself. No hurricane cuts that shorten its life, no climbing spikes on a living trunk, and we clean our tools between properties so we are not carrying Ganoderma rot from one yard to the next. Vero has every kind, sabals, queens, royals, washingtonias, coconuts, and we know what each one needs.

Once the tree is gone, we grind the stump below grade so you can lay sod, replant, or pour concrete over it. How deep depends on what you are doing next, and we will ask. Vero’s sandy soil grinds clean, and we call 811 to mark utilities first, since the older neighborhoods have irrigation lines and old wiring in odd places.

When a tree comes down on your house or across the driveway, call us and a real person answers, day or night. We are centered in Indian River County and stage equipment ahead of named storms, so we can usually reach Vero fast. Our crews are insured, and we send the COI before anyone climbs.

The cheapest storm damage is the kind you head off early. Before the season we walk your property, flag the trees most likely to fail, and thin or remove them so a big blow does not take the roof with it. Old live oaks and any pine near the house come first. We photograph what we find and write it up so it satisfies the city, your HOA, and your insurer.

Clearing a lot in Vero Beach means dealing with the city’s tree rules before any machine shows up: a tree count, a site plan, and a replacement schedule. We handle all of that, pull out the Brazilian pepper and other invasives, and leave the heritage oaks and sabal stands you want to keep. Full insurance on file for builders.
