In Calgary, June isn’t just the beginning of summer — it’s also peak storm season. With unpredictable weather patterns bringing heavy rains, high winds, and occasional hail, this time of year puts significant strain on the trees that line our commercial properties, pathways, and parking lots.
As a commercial property manager or owner, understanding the risks and preparing accordingly is essential for keeping your sites safe, beautiful, and operational.
Why June Is the Peak Season for Tree Failures
The combination of soft, rain-saturated soil and high wind gusts puts even healthy trees at risk of damage or complete failure. During June, we often see:
- Broken limbs over walkways and vehicles
- Split trunks from sudden wind shear
- Uprooted trees where root systems were already compromised
- Obstructed access to buildings or parking areas
These incidents don’t just pose safety concerns — they also disrupt operations, affect tenant experience, and can lead to costly emergency work and insurance claims.
Proactive Tree Management is Key
At LE Construction & Maintenance, we’ve seen firsthand how timely intervention can prevent major disruptions. That’s why we encourage our clients to take a proactive approach to tree care, especially in early June. Our team supports property managers with:
- Tree inspections and hazard assessments
- Pruning of high-risk limbs
- Identification of disease or decay
- Emergency storm cleanup
We understand that trees are more than landscaping — they’re part of your property’s identity and guest experience. But when they’re not maintained properly, they become a liability.
Your Storm Season Checklist
Here’s a quick list of actions to take now:
- Walk your property and note any leaning or damaged trees
- Schedule an assessment with a trusted professional
- Prune or remove trees that present obvious risks
- Ensure pathways and access routes are clear and safe
