When Greentree gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region, such as broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine, drop heavy natural material throughout the year. Spring brings oak catkins, while fall brings heavy leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Cold winters bring freezing nights and snow, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue here. Standing wet debris expands when freezing nights arrive, putting weight on brackets and sagging gutters. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your property before winter snow loads arrive.
