When Mills River gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region include sweetgum, red maple, southern magnolia, water oak, and broadleaf live oak, along with loblolly, longleaf, and slash pine. Pine needles fall into channels all year long, while spring brings heavy yellow pollen drops and live oak foliage shed. Sweetgum balls and acorns drop alongside fall leaves, which usually peak in late October. Winter brings freezing nights and likely snow to Mills River, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue here. Still, frozen slush inside a full gutter can weigh down fascia board joints. We recommend scheduling a gutter cleaning service at least twice a year, during spring and fall.
