When Monticello gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf live oak, pecan, cedar elm, crape myrtle, post oak, loblolly pine, and eastern red cedar, drop debris throughout every season. Live oaks drop leaves in spring rather than fall, accompanied by sticky oak catkins and pecan shells. Winter brings eastern red cedar pollen. Leaf drop usually peaks in early November when post oaks and elms shed heavily. Although freezing nights happen, ice dams in gutters are not an issue here and snow is rare. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your property from standing water damage and blockages.
