When Oak Grove gutters fill up
Trees common in this region, such as bur oak, silver maple, cottonwood, green ash, and hackberry, drop heavy debris into channels. Cottonwood fluff flies in spring, ash seeds fall early, and leaf drop usually peaks in mid October. Conifers like eastern red cedar and ponderosa pine also drop needles. Freezing nights are common in winter, making ice dams in gutters a real problem when winter snow falls on trapped water. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep your roof free of blockages before ice forms.
