Fountain sits just south of Colorado Springs along Fountain Creek, where the high plains climate, lower elevation, and creekside soils give the area its own tree-care character. From established neighborhoods near downtown Fountain to the newer subdivisions spreading toward Security and the Front Range, Mr Stump Tree Service provides the full range of tree care to Fountain homeowners and businesses — tree trimming, tree removal, stump grinding, and storm response.

Wind, drought, and fast-growing creekside trees are the big factors here. Our ISA Certified Arborists help Fountain property owners keep cottonwoods and willows along the creek safely pruned, establish and shape young landscape trees in newer developments, and handle removals and storm cleanup across the area.

Common Fountain Trees We Care For

Fountain’s lower elevation and creekside setting favor hardy shade trees and fast-growing natives. The ones we work on most often here include:

  • CottonwoodVery common along Fountain Creek; fast-growing and prone to dropping large limbs — needs proactive pruning.
  • Siberian ElmTough and widespread but brittle; regular structural pruning prevents storm and wind breakage.
  • Honeylocust & AshPopular shade trees in Fountain yards; ash needs monitoring for emerald ash borer.
  • Austrian & Ponderosa PineCommon evergreens that need drought-stress monitoring and occasional thinning.
  • WillowFound near the creek and low spots; grows fast and benefits from regular pruning to stay safe.

Tree Rules in Fountain

  • The City of Fountain generally does not require a permit to trim or remove trees on your own private property — but always confirm current city rules and your HOA covenants if you are in a covenant-controlled subdivision.
  • Trees in the public right-of-way (typically between the sidewalk and street) or on city property are regulated by the City of Fountain and require approval before any work.
  • Trees near Fountain Creek or in drainage areas may fall under floodplain or drainage rules — we can help you determine what applies before work begins.
  • Not sure which category your tree falls in? Just call us — we work throughout Fountain regularly and are happy to advise.
