When Oak Point gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, such as broadleaf live oak, pecan, cedar elm, crape myrtle, post oak, loblolly pine, and ashe juniper, drop various materials into your gutter throughout the year. Live oaks shed their leaves in early spring rather than fall, accompanied by heavy oak catkins. Pecan trees drop shells, while ashe junipers release winter pollen that builds up inside channels. Broadleaf leaf drop usually peaks in early November. Freezing nights happen here, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. We recommend professional gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall, to manage seasonal runoff safely.
