Common Colorado Springs Trees We Care For

Knowing the local species matters. The trees we work on most often in Colorado Springs include:

• Ponderosa Pine — Our signature native pine — needs thinning for fire safety and is vulnerable to bark beetles when stressed.
• Blue Spruce & Austrian Pine — Popular evergreens that suffer in drought and can develop needle-cast diseases.
• Cottonwood — Fast-growing and common near creeks; prone to dropping large limbs and often needs proactive pruning.
• Aspen — Beautiful but stressed at our lower elevation — susceptible to cytospora canker and best kept well-watered.
• Siberian Elm & Maple — Widespread shade trees that need regular structural pruning to prevent storm breakage.
• Honeylocust & Ash — Common street and yard trees; ash now needs watching for emerald ash borer.

Tree Permits & Rules in Colorado Springs

• Trees entirely on your private property generally do NOT require a city permit to trim or remove — but always confirm your HOA covenants first, as many local HOAs require written approval.
• Trees in the public right-of-way (typically the strip between the sidewalk and street) are regulated by the City Forestry Division and DO require a permit and approval before pruning or removal.
• If your property backs to open space or is in the wildland-urban interface, fire mitigation work may follow specific defensible-space guidelines. We handle these projects regularly and can guide you through them.
• Not sure which category your tree falls in? Just call us — we help Colorado Springs homeowners sort this out every week.
