When New Prague gutters fill up
Trees common across this region include broadleaf bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, hackberry, eastern red cedar, and ponderosa pine. Spring wind deposits sticky cottonwood fluff and ash seeds inside channels. Summer brings grit and dust after wind storms, while fall leaf drop usually peaks in early October. In Minnesota, winter brings freezing nights, snow, and ice dams in gutters, which lock remaining debris in place and stress the roofline. We recommend scheduling gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels empty before winter freezes set in and to clear out fresh debris once spring arrives.
