When Alpine gutters fill up
While snow is rare in Alpine, Texas, freezing nights occur during the winter months, though heavy ice dams do not typically form in gutters. Regional trees create unique cleaning schedules that differ from typical northern fall drops. Broadleaf live oak trees drop heavy foliage in early spring rather than fall, while pecan trees shed hard shells and oak catkins fall during bloom. Ashe juniper drops abundant pollen and fine needles during winter. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to handle these seasonal debris cycles and protect the roof system from standing water during heavy downpours.
