Call (772) 773-6676
Stuart’s heritage canopy is its identity. The Old Stuart historic district along Osceola Street, the riverfront Roosevelt Bridge corridor, and the live-oak streets of Krueger Creek and Sunset Estates, these aren’t trees you replace. They’re trees you preserve.
Martin County’s tree-protection code is stricter than St. Lucie’s, historic-tree provisions add documentation requirements on top of standard permits. Swift coordinates directly with Martin County Building & Code Enforcement and Stuart City Hall on every qualifying job.

Tree Removal
Stuart’s downtown historic district has heritage live oaks that go back to the 1890s, and the city has strong tree-preservation expectations to match. Most removals here are dead or dying oaks, sand pines threatening the house, or storm-damaged sabals past saving. We handle Stuart and Martin County permitting in-house. ISA Certified Arborist, written quote in 4 hours, COI to your insurer before any saw runs.
Learn moreTree Trimming & Pruning
Stuart is heritage live oak country and we treat the work that way. ANSI A300 cuts only, no topping, no lion-tailing on the heritage oaks that anchor downtown, the Riverwalk corridor, and the older neighborhoods east of US-1. Same-day on-site assessment, written quote in 4 hours, scheduled around downtown event weekends when access matters.
Learn morePalm Trimming
Stuart palms split between sabals (the original native landscape) and queens, royals, and coconuts on the newer waterfront builds along the St. Lucie River. We trim to ISA palm protocol with no hurricane cuts that shorten palm life, no climbing spikes on living trunks, and tools sanitized between properties because Ganoderma rot moves through Stuart’s older neighborhoods quickly.
Learn moreStump Grinding
Stuart soil grinds clean, sandy, well-drained. Depth matched to next step: 6 to 8 inches for sod, 12 to 18 for replant, deeper for paver pads or pool concrete. 811 location every job, downtown Stuart and the older neighborhoods east of US-1 have shallow irrigation, electric, and the occasional original utility run from the 1920s in unexpected spots.
Learn moreEmergency Tree Service
Storm calls here are heritage oak limb failure, queen palm uproot near a downtown business, sand pine across a fence, or river-facing palm damage. A real person answers our 24/7 line. COI before any climber leaves the truck.
Learn moreHurricane Prep
Stuart’s heritage live oaks are the priority. They define the downtown look and they take careful pre-season pruning to come through a Cat 3 without major canopy loss. Plus queen palms and any pine close to structures. We walk the property pre-season, photograph the high-risk trees, and write the case in a format the city, your HOA, and insurance can all work from.
Learn moreLand & Lot Clearing
Stuart clearing work happens mostly outside the downtown historic district, pool prep, new-build pads, partial clears on the bigger lots west of Kanner Highway. We coordinate with Martin County code, handle Brazilian pepper and Australian pine removal, and leave heritage oaks and sabal stands standing. Builder COI with additional insured, debris manifest on every project.

What sets us apart here
Why Stuart Homeowners Pick Swift
Stuart is one of the oldest towns on the Treasure Coast. Many properties feature heritage live oaks, Spanish-moss-draped hardwoods, and old-Florida canopy that competitors don't know how to preserve. Our default answer in Stuart is "prune, don't remove", heritage hardwoods are almost always worth saving with structural pruning.
Martin County has its own code overlay. We coordinate directly with Martin County Building & Code Enforcement on every job that triggers permitting, including historic-tree provisions where they apply.

Local questions
Common Questions From Stuart Homeowners
Can heritage live oaks be saved instead of removed?
Almost always, yes, with structural pruning, cabling, and bracing. A 1962 live oak above your driveway deserves a careful prune before anyone talks removal. Removal is the last resort. Tree trimming & pruning →
Does Martin County require a tree-removal permit?
Yes for many removals, and historic-tree provisions add another layer in some Stuart neighborhoods. We coordinate directly with Martin County Building & Code Enforcement and file all required paperwork. Talk to us about your permit →
What about Spanish moss?
Spanish moss does not harm trees. It is an air plant, not a parasite. We don't remove it unless aesthetic preference; healthy heritage oaks should keep it. We can selectively thin it when it gets too heavy on a single limb.
How much does tree removal in Stuart 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. You’ll see an itemized written quote in your inbox within 4 hours.
How fast can you respond to an emergency in Stuart?
24/7 emergency line answered by a human. Crews typically on-site within 60–90 minutes for active hazards. 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.
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.
