When Clemson University gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf live oak, water oak, sweetgum, red maple, southern magnolia, loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine, constantly drop organic material onto residential roof lines. In spring, yellow pollen and live oak leaf drop quickly coat smooth metal surfaces. Summer brings broadleaf shed, while sweetgum balls and acorns tumble down late in the year. Pine needles drop continuously all year. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October across Clemson University, South Carolina. Freezing nights happen here, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. We recommend professional cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall.
