When Lakeville gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop distinct material across Lakeville throughout the changing seasons. Broadleaf bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, and hackberry shed green ash seeds, cottonwood fluff, and heavy fallen leaves. Conifers like eastern red cedar and ponderosa pine drop needles and small cones. Leaf drop usually peaks in early October, filling trough lines right before winter arrives. Freezing nights happen regularly here, and trapped liquid causes ice dams in gutters that damage roof seams. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A fall gutter cleaning clears late leaves before winter frost, while spring clearing removes fluff, seeds, and grit after wind storms.
