When to clean gutters in Garfield
The first fall frost comes around November 16 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around March 12 (median dates, NOAA normals). Booking the fall cleaning after the first frost, once the trees over the roof are bare, catches the season’s drop in one visit; the spring cleaning comes after the pollen and catkins are down.

Gutter and downspout size for Garfield rain
The short, hard downpour is what a gutter is sized for. In Garfield the five-minute rain expected about once in ten years falls at 9.46 inches an hour (NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 11). At that rate one 2-by-3-inch downspout drains about 760 square feet of roof and one 3-by-4-inch downspout about 1,520, by the rule in the Copper Development Association’s design handbook.
