When Alice gutters fill up
Trees common in this region, such as broadleaf live oak, pecan, cedar elm, crape myrtle, post oak, loblolly pine, and ashe juniper, drop heavy matter into gutters throughout the year. Live oaks drop leaves during spring rather than fall, while oak catkins and pecan debris land in early summer. Ashe juniper pollen accumulates in winter. Freezing nights are rare here, so ice dams do not form, but rain falls hard when storms roll in. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to clear seasonal leaf drop and protect your home before big downpours hit Alice.
