Trees on Private Property
According to The City of Calgary it is your responsibility to maintain and care for the trees, shrubs and hedges within your property line.
In general it is up to the property owner to make sure that the vegetation within your property line does not at all encroach on public sidewalks and streets.
Corner lots have some extra regulations to follow the proper tree, shrub and hedge limitations. The City of Calgary has stated in a traffic bylaw that on the corner of your lot with intersecting laneways, nothing can be over 750mm(75cm) within the corner of the lot to allow for proper visibility for vehicles through the corners.
