When Milton gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop debris into regional roof channels across every season. Conifers like loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine drop thin needles year-round. Broadleaf live oak trees drop leaves in early spring, while yellow pollen covers roofs shortly after. Sweetgum trees drop spiky sweetgum balls, and oaks drop acorns later in the season. Leaf drop usually peaks in late October, filling every open gutter system before winter arrive. Freezing nights happen in Georgia, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to maintain clear channels and steady drainage flow.
