Local Crew Clears 14 Trees After Tuesday Derecho — Channel 9 Crew on Scene

COLORADO SPRINGS — When Tuesday's derecho snapped three red oaks across Briargate Boulevard, residents called Canopy Tree Service. By 6 a.m. Wednesday, owner Marcus Delgado had a seven-person crew clearing the corridor, 14 trees removed before noon.

"These aren't strangers from a search ad," said neighbor Patricia Weston, 58. "They're the crew we've seen working this neighborhood for six years."

The People Showing Up

You'll know who's
coming to your yard.

Not a dispatch center. Not subcontractors from three states away. The same crew, job after job.

"That oak leaning over your garage? I can tell you in 90 seconds whether it needs to come down or just lose a limb. Then I'll climb it myself."

Marcus assesses every job before a single rope goes up. He won't quote removal if a crown reduction fixes the problem — and he'll tell you exactly why.

"The tricky ones are the trees over power lines. Most companies won't touch them. We coordinate with the utility, set the rigging right, and bring it down section by section."

Deja handles high-risk removals where precision matters more than speed. She's rigged trees over pools, fences, and live power lines without incident.

"By the time the last piece hits the chipper, you shouldn't be able to tell we were there — except the tree is gone."

Tomás runs the ground crew: feeding the chipper, clearing debris, protecting the lawn, and making sure the homeowner's driveway looks better leaving than it did arriving.
