Security-Widefield is an established community just south of Colorado Springs, with mature, well-treed neighborhoods that grew up alongside Fort Carson. Because many of these yards have decades-old shade trees, the tree-care needs here often center on maintaining, pruning, and safely removing large mature trees — not just establishing young ones. Mr Stump Tree Service provides the full range of care to Security and Widefield homeowners: tree trimming, tree removal, stump grinding, and 24/7 storm response.
The big shade trees that make these neighborhoods so pleasant — elms, ashes, and cottonwoods — also need regular attention to stay safe as they age. Our ISA Certified Arborists help Security-Widefield property owners keep mature trees structurally sound, address storm and wind damage, and handle removals and stump grinding when a tree has reached the end of its life.
Areas We Serve Around Security-Widefield
We provide tree trimming, tree removal, stump grinding, and emergency storm response throughout the Security and Widefield communities, including:
Common Security-Widefield Trees We Care For
These established neighborhoods are full of mature shade trees. The ones we work on most often here include:
- Siberian Elm — One of the most common mature shade trees here; brittle wood means regular structural pruning is important to prevent breakage.
- Green Ash — Widely planted decades ago; now needs close monitoring for emerald ash borer, which threatens ash trees across the region.
- Cottonwood — Large and fast-growing near drainages; prone to dropping heavy limbs and often needs proactive pruning or removal.
- Honeylocust — A popular, tidy shade tree that benefits from periodic pruning to maintain good structure.
- Austrian & Ponderosa Pine — Common evergreens in older yards that need drought monitoring and occasional thinning.
Tree Rules in Security-Widefield
- Security and Widefield are unincorporated El Paso County communities, so there is generally no city permit required to trim or remove trees on your own private property — but check your HOA covenants if you are in a covenant-controlled subdivision.
- Trees in the public right-of-way or on district/county property are regulated and require approval before any work.
- Given the widespread ash trees here, we recommend having ash monitored for emerald ash borer; early detection gives you the most options. We are happy to inspect and advise.
- Not sure whether your tree needs pruning or removal? Just call us — we work throughout Security-Widefield regularly and provide free on-site assessments.

How much does tree service cost in Security-Widefield?
It depends on the size, location, and condition of the tree and the work needed. Pruning a mature shade tree is more involved than a small trim, and large removals near homes cost more. We have a $425 service minimum and always provide a free, no-obligation on-site estimate first.
My old ash tree looks unhealthy — could it be emerald ash borer?
It is worth checking. Green ash is very common in Security-Widefield, and emerald ash borer is a serious threat to ash trees across the region. Early detection gives you the most treatment and removal options. Our ISA Certified Arborists can inspect your ash and recommend the right course of action.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Security or Widefield?
These are unincorporated El Paso County communities, so there is generally no city permit for removing trees on your own private property. If you are in an HOA, check your covenants first. We can help you determine what applies.
Can you handle storm damage in Security-Widefield?
Absolutely. Mature trees and brittle species like Siberian elm make storm and wind damage common here. We offer 24/7 emergency response for fallen trees and hazardous limbs — call (719) 481-2500 anytime.
