When Fair Oaks gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris throughout every season. Conifers like loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine drop pine needles all year long. Broadleaf trees such as sweetgum, red maple, water oak, broadleaf live oak, and southern magnolia drop yellow pollen during spring, live oak leaves, sweetgum balls, and acorns. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Freezing nights happen and snow is likely, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue here. Winter weather turns sitting moisture into heavy ice that strains attachments. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep Fair Oaks channels clear.
