When West Ocean City gutters fill up
Trees common in the region drop a steady stream of debris into West Ocean City gutters throughout every season. Loblolly pine, longleaf pine, and slash pine drop sharp pine needles all year, which bind together with yellow pollen in spring. Broadleaf live oak, water oak, sweetgum, red maple, and southern magnolia drop acorns, sweetgum balls, and heavy leaves. Leaf drop usually peaks in mid October, filling channel runs right before winter. Freezing nights happen here, and snow is likely, making clear channels vital so melting snow drains fast without turning into heavy slush. We recommend scheduling a gutter cleaning at least twice a year, in spring and fall, to keep systems clear.
