When Greenfield gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris directly into Greenfield roof channels. In spring, broadleaf white oak catkins fill open gutters. Summer storms shake down twigs from red maple, hickory, tulip poplar, and spiky sweetgum balls. Fall brings massive leaf drop from red maple and white oak trees, usually peaking in early October, while eastern white pine needles drop late into the year. Freezing nights and thick snow are typical during Greenfield winters, causing serious ice dams in gutters filled with organic material. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, so your downspouts clear melting winter ice without backing up under shingles.
