When Tulsa gutters fill up
Tree species common in the region impact rooflines throughout the entire year. Broadleaf live oak trees drop their leaves in spring rather than fall, while pecan trees shed heavy catkins and shells. Cedar elm, crape myrtle, post oak, loblolly pine, and ashe juniper drop pine needles, seeds, and winter pollen. Freezing nights happen and snow is likely, which turns trapped damp debris into cold sludge. We recommend gutter cleaning at least twice a year, spring and fall. A spring visit removes live oak leaves and catkins, while fall clearing addresses late October foliage before freezing weather arrives.
