Maple Seeds (Helicopters)

The maple tree is a well known source of despair for homeowners when it comes to clogging gutters. The maple seeds – also known as helicopters, spinners or whirlybirds – literally parachute down to earth. They can travel outwards, away from the tree, too. So it’s important to ensure your have adequate gutter protection installed, and in particular, ensure your gutter guards don’t have small holes the maple helicopters can get stuck in. We can assess your property and yard, to identify any trees which are a risk, and come up with a plan to ensure your gutters stay clear and efficient for years to come.
