When Abilene gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris across Abilene year-round. Broadleaf live oak, pecan, cedar elm, crape myrtle, and post oak drop heavy organic material, while loblolly pine and ashe juniper drop needles and cones. Live oak leaves drop in spring rather than fall, while oak catkins and pecan shells fall during early warm months, followed by winter juniper pollen. Leaf drop usually peaks in early November across Texas. Freezing nights happen here, but ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect every roofline from severe moisture buildup and packed soil debris.
