When Ogden gutters fill up
Several trees common in the region drop leaves and debris into Ogden gutters throughout the year. Loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine drop thin pine needles continuously, while broadleaf live oak, water oak, sweetgum, red maple, and southern magnolia drop leaves and sweetgum balls. Yellow pollen covers roofs in spring, followed by live oak leaf drop, while broadleaf leaf drop usually peaks in late October. Freezing nights happen here, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue and snow is rare. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to keep channels clear of heavy pine needles, sweetgum balls, and seasonal oak leaves before storms arrive.
