When Pecan Grove gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including broadleaf live oak, pecan, cedar elm, crape myrtle, post oak, loblolly pine, and ashe juniper, drop material across all four seasons. Live oaks shed their old leaves during early spring, while oak catkins and ashe juniper pollen fill gutter channels during late winter. Fall brings pecan shells, pine needles, and dead leaves that block downspout entrances. Because freezing nights are rare and ice dams in gutters are not an issue here, water flow problems stem entirely from thick organic debris. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to maintain clear drainage channels.
