When Druid Hills gutters fill up
Tree foliage creates a continuous maintenance challenge for local homeowners. Loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine trees common in the region drop needles year-round, while broadleaf live oak, water oak, sweetgum, and red maple shed heavy debris. Yellow pollen covers roofs in spring, live oaks drop old leaves, and sweetgum balls fall alongside fall acorns. Heavy leaf drop usually peaks in late October. Winter brings occasional freezing nights, though ice dams are not an issue and snow is rare. To protect your roofline and foundation, we recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, preventing stubborn downspout clogs before intense downpours arrive in Druid Hills.
