When Falcon Heights gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris across residential properties year-round. Broadleaf trees like bur oak, silver maple, green ash, hackberry, and cottonwood drop leaf clutter and ash seeds, while conifers such as eastern red cedar and ponderosa pine shed needles and cones. Spring brings cottonwood fluff and windblown dust, while leaf drop usually peaks in early October. Winter brings freezing nights, heavy snow, and severe ice dams when clogged gutters hold trap water along the roof line. We recommend seasonal cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, so water flows freely through your downspout channels before winter freeze cycles begin in Falcon Heights, Minnesota.
