About Mr Stump Tree Service
Colorado Springs' trusted tree care professionals since 1976. Nearly 50 years of keeping properties safe and beautiful.
Nearly 50 Years of Tree Care Excellence
Founded in 1976, Mr Stump Tree Service has grown from a small, local operation into one of Colorado Springs' most trusted tree care companies. What started with one man, a chainsaw, and a commitment to quality has evolved into a full-service tree care operation employing ISA Certified Arborists and experienced crews.
Our deep roots in the Colorado Springs community mean we understand the unique challenges of maintaining trees in our semi-arid climate, from the Ponderosa pines of Black Forest to the cottonwoods along Fountain Creek. We've helped thousands of property owners protect their investments and beautify their landscapes.
Today, with wildfire risk increasing across El Paso County, we're proud to be at the forefront of fire mitigation efforts, helping families create defensible space and protect their homes from the growing threat of wildfires.

About Our $425 Service Minimum
(Stump grinding is often an exception — smaller stumps may be priced below the minimum. Ask us for a quote.)
We want to be transparent about how we price our work, because we know tree service pricing can feel mysterious — and sometimes expensive — especially for smaller jobs. Here's the honest reasoning behind our minimum charge:
What's actually involved in a “small” job.
Even a single small tree or branch removal requires our crew to load and bring a truck full of equipment, safely stage around your property, perform the work, chip and haul away the debris, and restore the area before we leave. From the moment we leave the shop to the moment the yard is clean, a typical small job still takes a team of professionals several hours.
What you're paying for.
Your minimum covers a fully licensed, insured, and trained crew; commercial-grade equipment that's maintained and inspected regularly; proper safety protocols; and a cleanup that leaves your property looking cared for. You're also paying for nearly 50 years of experience — we've been serving Colorado Springs since 1976, and we bring that knowledge to every job.
Where we stand on pricing.
We've intentionally priced our services well below many of our larger competitors, because we believe good tree care should be accessible. But we can't responsibly go below our minimum without cutting corners somewhere — on insurance, training, equipment maintenance, or cleanup — and that's not who we are.
We understand budgets are real.
If our minimum doesn't fit your situation, we respect that completely. Give us a call anyway — sometimes we can combine your job with nearby work, offer guidance on DIY options, or recommend someone better suited to smaller tasks.
