When Peppermill Village gutters fill up
Trees common in the region, including sweetgum, red maple, water oak, broadleaf live oak, southern magnolia, loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine, constantly drop debris onto local homes. Pine needles fall all year, spring brings yellow pollen, and sweetgum balls with acorns fill roof troughs. Live oak leaf drop and heavy fall foliage usually peak in mid October. Winter brings freezing nights and snow in Maryland, though ice dams in gutters are not an issue here. Saturated leaves freeze solid in downspouts during cold spells. We recommend cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall, to protect your gutter system against blockage.
