Tree-planting since the 1930s made Royal Oak the City of Trees, and a mature canopy now hangs over the bungalows downtown and the ranches farther out. The fall clear lands after the leaves are down and before the first freeze turns what's left into ice at the roofline.

Royal Oak took its name from an oak in 1819, and the trees the city has planted since the 1930s drop seeds in spring as well as leaves in fall. The spring clear follows that seed drop, which is why a Royal Oak gutter gets two visits a year and not one.

The schedule.

Twice a year. Spring after the seeds drop, fall after the leaves. The fall visit is the one that matters: whatever's left in the gutter in November freezes there. Two-story homes are published too: $— added to a plan, $— one-time.

What the visit looks like.

Cleared by hand, downspouts flushed until they run clear, the mess bagged and gone. Anything soft or missing at the roof edge gets noted in the record.

On a plan, this job is done during one of the four visits. The plans, priced for Royal Oak: Home upkeep in Royal Oak.
