About Swift Tree & Landscape
Family-Owned. ISA-Certified.
Family-Owned. ISA-Certified.
Treasure Coast-Proven.
Swift Tree & Landscape is a family-owned, locally-owned tree-care business founded by Johnathan Portillo and Danny Ramirez, who are longtime Treasure Coast neighbors and built the company around three commitments: same-day assessments, full insurance documentation delivered before work begins, and written, itemized quotes delivered within 4 hours.
Why Swift Exists
Built On Family.
Built On Family.
Backed By Experience.
Run To ISA Standards.
Two Treasure Coast neighbors. One frustration: every tree company sounded the same, and none stood behind a written commitment. So we built one that does.
The work itself
Care that shows up after the chainsaw goes silent.
Our promise to your property
A Heritage Tree Should Outlive The Company That Touches It —
A Heritage Tree Should Outlive The Company That Touches It —
Even Ours.
When we say tree care done right, we mean a live oak planted in 1962 lives longer because Swift took the call. Every cut is structural, every climb is roped, every limb has a reason. We tell you the truth on the phone — even when it costs us the booking.
- No hat-racking — heritage oaks get directional pruning, not flat-tops.
- No hurricane-cut palms — Treasure Coast queens get a textbook 9-to-3 trim.
- No subcontractor mystery — same insured crew shows up that quoted the job.
- No "we'll figure it out" — every quote is itemized in writing within 4 hours.
That is the rule. Every job. Every season. Every neighborhood from Port St. Lucie to Vero Beach.
Family
Every job runs the way we would run it for our own grandmother — same crew, same insurance, same written quote. No subcontractor mystery, ever.
Experience
15 years of crew experience on the Treasure Coast. We have worked Hurricane Milton, Nicole, and Irma response. We tell the truth on the phone — even when it costs us the booking.
Standards
ANSI A300 cuts on every hardwood, ISA palm protocol on every palm, ANSI Z133 safety on every climb. Fully insured. COI delivered to your insurance carrier before any climber leaves the truck.

Meet the team mascot
Felix the Bobcat — because every Florida brand needs one
Felix is our unofficial Treasure Coast mascot — a tip of the hat to the Florida bobcats that still live in the palmetto scrub between Port St. Lucie and Indian River. He shows up on the trucks, the polos, and the kids' coloring sheets we hand out on neighborhood-watch nights. When you call us, you are calling your Swift, reliable, family Felix.
We sketched Felix the night we picked the company name. The cap, the shovel, the “S” on the shirt — it’s the look our crews actually wear on the truck every morning. He didn’t come from a stock library; he came from a kitchen-table drawing the kids did first.
- Born on the Treasure Coast. Felix lives in the palmetto scrub between St. Lucie, Martin, and Indian River counties — the same canopy we work in every day.
- Wears the same uniform as the crew. Branded cap, work shirt, jeans, steel-toe boots — no costumes, no fluff. What you see is what shows up at your gate.
- Plants more than he prunes. Every removal Swift books funds a replacement sapling at a Treasure Coast school or community park.
- Hands out coloring sheets, not flyers. Find Felix at Saturday-morning neighborhood-watch meetups, hurricane-prep workshops, and the St. Lucie County Fair.
