These guys did an amazing job. Quick and efficient. Their communication was great and I got exactly what I was looking for.
Great job! Trimed my palms, took all debris and left like they were never there. Very professional. Thank you so much.
Ana and the crew came to my house and did an amazing job cutting a big tree and after all was done they removed all the debris and left my yard spotless…

Tree Removal
Florida Ridge is a residential corridor along US-1 and Oslo Road, quarter to half-acre lots, mostly mid-century and newer builds. Common removals are queen palms and sand pines threatening the house, or older oaks past saving. Indian River County protected-tree rules apply on lots over an acre, and we handle that paperwork in-house. ISA Certified Arborist, written quote in 4 hours, COI before any saw runs.

Tree Trimming & Pruning
Most Florida Ridge pruning is live oak and laurel oak structural work, the canopies grew during the build-out years and now overhang roofs and fences. ANSI A300 cuts, no topping, no lion-tailing. Same-day on-site assessment, written quote in 4 hours.

Palm Trimming
Florida Ridge palms are sabals on the older lots and queens, washingtonias, and the occasional foxtail on the newer builds. We trim to ISA palm protocol with no hurricane cuts and no climbing spikes on living trunks. Tools sanitized between properties so Ganoderma rot does not move from yard to yard.

Stump Grinding
Florida Ridge 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. Florida Ridge yards have shallow irrigation runs and low-voltage lighting in most spots.

Emergency Tree Service
Storm calls here are queen palm failure, sand pine snap, and oak limb across a fence or driveway. A real person answers our 24/7 line. COI before any climber leaves the truck.

Hurricane Prep
Queen palms and any pine close to the house are the species to watch on Florida Ridge properties. Pre-season we walk the property, photograph the high-risk trees, and document what needs to come down or be structurally pruned. March through May is when this work happens.

Land & Lot Clearing
Florida Ridge clearing work is mostly partial, pool installs, lot prep, brush and Brazilian pepper removal. Indian River County protected-tree rules apply on lots over an acre, so we walk the property with you, mark what stays, and handle the paperwork before any equipment shows up.

About Swift in Florida Ridge
Florida Ridge Tree Service,
Florida Ridge Tree Service,
Call (772) 773-6676
Swift Tree & Landscape is a family-owned, fully insured tree service run by owner-operators Danny Ramirez and Johnathan Portillo. Florida Ridge is on our daily Indian River County route, so we are out this way along US-1 and Oslo Road most days of the week. The neighborhoods here run from 1960s ranch homes to newer subdivisions, with a canopy younger than the coastal districts but growing fast over roofs and fences.
Because Florida Ridge is unincorporated, the permit rules are the county's, not the City of Vero Beach's. We handle that side ourselves, and a contractor who only works inside city limits can miss it. Call before noon and you get a same-day look at the job.

What sets us apart here
Suburban canopy, county permits handled
Florida Ridge is family-residential, the trees here are part of the neighborhood's character. Mature live oaks, slash pines, and the occasional banyan all share the daily list. Each species needs a different approach on the same property.
We also handle unincorporated Indian River County permitting directly. The rules here are the county’s own, and a contractor who only works inside city limits will sometimes miss the county-side requirement.

Local questions
Florida Ridge tree care, answered
Are my slash pines a hurricane risk in Florida Ridge?
Often yes, pines lose limbs in tropical-storm gusts and topple in saturated soil. April–May wind-load reduction trims dramatically cut the risk. Hurricane prep →
Different permit rules from the city?
Yes, unincorporated Indian River County has its own code. We file under the right rule the first time. Talk to us about your permit →
How much canopy can I take off a live oak in one visit?
ISA standard is no more than 25% of live foliage per cycle on a mature oak. More than that stresses the tree. We tell you on-site how much your tree can safely give.
How much does tree removal in Florida Ridge cost?
Every job is quoted from a free on-site assessment. Cost depends on tree size, species, access, and debris-removal scope. Itemized written quote in 4 hours.
How fast can you respond to an emergency in Florida Ridge?
24/7 emergency line answered by a human. Crews typically on-site within 60–90 minutes for active hazards.
Are you insured?
Yes, $1M GL per occurrence ($2M aggregate) + Workers’ Comp. COI delivered before any crew leaves the truck.
