When to clean gutters in Grand Prairie
The first fall frost comes around November 13 in a typical year here, and the last spring frost around March 20 (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.
