When Garden City gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including cottonwood, silver maple, bur oak, green ash, and hackberry, drop heavy organic matter into channels. Spring brings airborne cottonwood fluff, while broadleaf foliage and ash seeds drop rapidly, with leaf drop usually peaking in mid October. Regional conifers like eastern red cedar and ponderosa pine shed needles, while windstorms blow persistent dirt into the troughs. Freezing nights happen regularly during winter, making ice dams in gutters a real problem when trapped moisture cannot drain. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, during spring and fall, to protect your property against summer storms and cold weather blockages.
