When New Hyde Park gutters fill up
Trees common in the region include broadleaf red maple, white oak, hickory, tulip poplar, sweetgum, and eastern white pine. Spring brings stringy oak catkins that form thick mats, while fall drops heavy leaves, acorns, and spiky sweetgum balls into local gutter channels. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October across New Hyde Park. Winter brings freezing nights and snow is likely, which can pack heavy wet slush into crowded gutters. To keep water moving freely away from your foundation year-round, we recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. Timely spring clearing removes pollen and buds, while fall maintenance cleans out heavy foliage before winter arrives.
