What sets us apart here
Why Fort Pierce Homeowners Pick Swift
Fort Pierce is where the Treasure Coast meets the Atlantic. Salt air, wind exposure, and barrier-island access change the trimming calendar, and the species mix. We trim more coconut, royal, and date palms here than anywhere else in our service map.
Storm work is the other big Fort Pierce edge. Coastal properties get hit hardest in named-storm events. Swift documents storm damage with multi-angle photos and adjuster-ready written scope, the paperwork your insurance carrier needs, captured before any major cuts.

Local questions
Common Questions From Fort Pierce Homeowners
Are coconut palms safe in Fort Pierce hurricanes?
Coconuts are surprisingly wind-resilient when healthy, but lethal yellowing is a real Treasure Coast threat. We check every coconut at trimming for premature nut drop and yellowing fronds (early symptoms). Palm trimming details →
Will salt air kill my palms?
Some species tolerate salt; some do not. Sabal, royal, coconut, and washingtonia handle Fort Pierce coastal exposure well. Queen palms struggle within a few blocks of the beach. We can recommend salt-tolerant replacements when an exposed palm is failing.
Do you work on the beachside (South Beach and the causeway side)?
Yes, bridge access and HOA coordination handled. We have done removal and trimming work on Hutchinson, including condo and townhome HOA contracts. Contact us to confirm access →
How much does tree removal in Fort Pierce cost?
Every job is quoted from a free on-site assessment. Cost depends on tree size, species, how close it sits to your house/fence/pool cage, debris-removal scope, and whether crane access is needed. Live oaks and coconut palms in tight backyards cost more than open-yard pines. You’ll see an itemized written quote in your inbox within 4 hours, exactly what each line covers, before any work starts.
How fast can you respond to an emergency in Fort Pierce?
24/7 emergency line answered by a human, never a voicemail bot. Crews typically on-site within 60–90 minutes for active hazards. Storm-event backlogs may extend that window. We’ll tell you straight on the phone. Call (772) 773-6676.
Are you insured?
Yes, $1M General Liability per occurrence ($2M aggregate) + Workers’ Comp. Certificate of Insurance delivered before any crew leaves the truck. Happy to send your HOA or property manager a copy in advance.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Fort Pierce?
For most residential single-family lots, smaller trees are exempt. St. Lucie County requires a Vegetation Removal Permit for native trees 24″ DBH or greater on detached single-family lots. The City of Fort Pierce may have additional rules inside city limits. Swift checks both before any work begins and files the application in-house when required, at no charge on qualifying removals.
Do you haul off the debris?
Yes, standard quotes include debris removal and a clean property at finish. If you want chips left behind for mulch, just tell us on-site.
