Covington is a Northshore community on the St. Tammany side of Lake Pontchartrain — historic downtown, the Bogue Falaya, and a heavy tree canopy that defines the residential streets. Some of the biggest wind-and-tree-fall risks in our service area are here: oak limbs onto rooftops during summer thunderstorms and tropical cells, mature pine and pecan limbs over otherwise quiet residential blocks. Older raised cottages, mid-century ranches, and newer subdivisions all share the same canopy-related considerations.
