Stuart’s Heritage District — roughly 13 blocks of Old Stuart along Osceola Street and Flagler Avenue — carries some of Martin County’s oldest live oaks. Many are 60+ years and 30″+ DBH. Swift’s preservation-first protocol applies automatically to qualifying heritage trees in this corridor. Photo-documented before-and-after on every job.
Hurricane Ian aftermath, 11 PM call. A real person picked up, dispatched a crew before sunrise to clear the driveway. Six months later they pulled the permit for the heritage oak removal at no charge.
They refused to remove our 80-year-old laurel oak even when I was ready to call it. Structural pruning, cabling at the weak crotch, and a written 3-year monitoring plan. The tree is still standing — and so are we.
Old Avenue D live oak with internal decay none of the other companies caught. Swift’s ISA arborist documented the condition under FS §163.045, filed the city permit, and handled the removal in two days. Honest work.
Eight services covered on the same daily-route dispatch — written quote in 4 hours on every job.
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 moreStuart 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 moreStuart 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 moreStuart 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 moreStuart is where our main yard sits — 10 minutes from anywhere in town. 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 moreStuart’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 moreStuart 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.
Learn moreStuart 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 also has its own code overlay distinct from PSL Ch. 154. We coordinate directly with Martin County Building & Code Enforcement on every job that triggers permitting, including historic-tree provisions where they apply.

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 →
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 →
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.
