Looking for tree service in Hobe Sound? Swift handles tree removal, tree trimming, palm care, and storm cleanup across Hobe Sound — from Lost Lake to Heritage Ridge to the older Hobe Sound proper streets. Call before noon and we’re on-site the same day — written quote in your inbox within 4 hours. ISA Certified Arborist. Fully insured.
Barrier-island work is its own discipline. Wind exposure is brutal, soils are sand-based and salt-loaded, and queen palms fail Cat-3 storms that sabals shrug off. Swift crews working Hobe Sound tree & palm care are trained to identify high-failure species before storm season, recommend native sabal and royal replacements where queens are doomed, and handle the tight HOA / town-code documentation barrier islands demand.
What that means on your property: we walk the canopy with a coastal failure-mode checklist, document each tree against the latest FS §163.045 arborist standard, and never recommend a hurricane-cut even when other companies in your community do.
Live oak structural pruning on the older Hobe Sound lots, queen palm cleanup on the newer west-of-US-1 builds, and Martin County conservation-edge awareness on every job bordering Jonathan Dickinson State Park or the Reed Refuge.
Same-day on-site assessment when you call before noon. Written quote in your inbox within 4 hours. ISA Certified Arborist. COI sent to your insurance before any crew member steps onto your property. Fully insured. Family-owned and locally operated. 15 years of crew experience on the Treasure Coast.

Hobe Sound borders Jonathan Dickinson State Park and the Nathaniel P. Reed Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge. Many properties sit inside or adjacent to rare sand-pine scrub habitat. Swift documents the wildlife-corridor edge and never dumps debris across the line.
Three queens on the river side that two other companies wanted to hurricane-cut. Swift took ten minutes to explain the 9-to-3 standard and why it would protect the palms instead of weakening them. Best trim work we’ve had on this property in eight years.
Oceanfront condo board needed the COI before the crew could enter. Swift had it in our inbox within an hour of the call. Salt-tolerant palm replacement plan was thorough — they recommended sabal over queen for the exposed wing without us asking.
Discretion is the word. The crew arrived on time, photographed every cut, left the property cleaner than when they arrived. The estate manager flagged Swift as the contractor of record. That speaks for itself.
Eight services covered on the same daily-route dispatch — written quote in 4 hours on every job.
Hobe Sound sits next to Jonathan Dickinson State Park and the Nathaniel P. Reed National Wildlife Refuge — sand-pine scrub habitat runs through most of the residential properties. Removals here come with extra care for the wildlife-corridor edge: we never dump debris across the line and we document each tree against the Martin County conservation-edge rules. ISA Certified Arborist, written quote in 4 hours, COI before any saw runs.
Learn moreHobe Sound pruning is mostly live oak structural work on the older homestead lots and queen palm cleanup on the newer builds west of US-1. ANSI A300 cuts only — no topping, no lion-tailing on heritage oaks. Conservation-edge properties get extra care: no tools or chips dumped across the wildlife-corridor line.
Learn moreHobe Sound palms split between sabals (the original native landscape) and queens, royals, and the occasional coconut on the newer builds. 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 so Ganoderma rot does not move from yard to yard.
Learn moreHobe Sound sand-based soil grinds fast and clean. 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 — the older Hobe Sound lots have shallow irrigation and the occasional original utility run from the 1940s.
Learn moreHobe Sound is on the south end of our Martin County coverage, and we pre-stage equipment at the Stuart yard ahead of named storms. Storm calls here are queen palm uproot, sand pine snap across a fence, and oak limb failure on the older lots. A real person answers our 24/7 line. COI before any climber leaves the truck.
Learn moreHobe Sound has heritage live oaks, salt-stressed queens, and slash pines close to most home pads — that is the storm priority list here. Pre-season we walk the property, photograph the high-risk trees, and write the case in a format the county, your HOA, and your insurance can all work from.
Learn moreHobe Sound clearing work happens with constant attention to the wildlife-corridor edge — Jonathan Dickinson State Park and the Reed refuge form most of the western boundary. We document every cut against Martin County conservation rules, take out Brazilian pepper and Australian pine, and never dump debris across the line. Builder COI with additional insured, debris manifest on every project.
Learn moreHobe Sound sits on a sand ridge between the Atlantic and a state park — which means the soils, the species, and the wind exposure all vary block by block. We will not give you a quote without walking the property because the right cut on a sand-pine is not the right cut on a coastal oak two streets away.
For properties bordering Atlantic Ridge State Park or the Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge, we work with the conservation-edge rules in mind — no debris into protected areas, no chemicals near the buffer, and species-appropriate replacement recommendations.

Sand pines have a shorter natural lifespan than slash pines and tend to fail in saturated soil. We assess each pine individually — some have decades left, some do not. We tell you honestly.
You cannot dump debris, chemicals, or fill across the buffer. We respect the line and document it on the quote. Talk to us about your permit →
