When Lockhart gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris into channels throughout the year. Longleaf pine, slash pine, and loblolly pine shed pine needles all year long, while broadleaf live oak, water oak, sweetgum, red maple, and southern magnolia drop sweetgum balls, acorns, yellow spring pollen, and heavy oak leaves. While freezing nights are rare and ice dams in gutters are not an issue in Lockhart, heavy rain showers quickly push loose debris into the downspout openings. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Routine maintenance keeps channels clear through every wet Florida season.
