When Glenn Dale gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sweetgum, red maple, water oak, broadleaf live oak, and southern magnolia, drop yellow pollen in spring, live oak leaf drop, sweetgum balls, and acorns. Conifers common in the region like loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine cast pine needles into drainage channels all year long. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling roof gutters right before winter. Freezing nights happen and snow is likely in Glenn Dale, Maryland, so holding trapped water in clogged troughs leads to heavy ice loads along eaves. We recommend a full gutter service at least twice a year, spring and fall.
