When Marion gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris around Marion homes all year long. Broadleaf live oak, water oak, sweetgum, red maple, and southern magnolia drop heavy leaves, sweetgum balls, and acorns. Conifers like loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine drop pine needles constantly, along with yellow pollen in spring. Live oak leaf drop also fills gutters during seasonal changes. Although freezing nights happen, ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October, making late fall a crucial clearing period. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall.
