When Grant gutters fill up
Trees common in this region include sugar maple, red maple, bur oak, hickory, American elm, white pine, and spruce. In Grant, broadleaf leaves drop fast, and leaf drop usually peaks in early October. Spring brings maple seed wings and flower debris, while summer storms knock down twigs and acorns. White pine needles and spruce cones land in roof valleys throughout the year. Freezing nights happen here, making ice dams in gutters a real winter problem when winter snow accumulates over trapped debris. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels open before freezes arrive.
