When Lawrenceville gutters fill up
Local trees constantly drop materials into residential gutter systems across Lawrenceville. Conifers common in the region, such as loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine, shed needles into channels all year long. In spring, yellow pollen and live oak leaf drop cover roof surfaces, while sweetgum balls, acorns, and foliage from water oak, sweetgum, and red maple collect during late summer. Broadleaf drop usually peaks in late October. Freezing nights happen here, but ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep debris from backing up water.
