Professional Fence Builders in Jasper, MO 64755 - Miksell Fencing & Landscaping

In Jasper, with our mix of deciduous trees and seasonal storms, we recommend cleaning gutters at least twice a year—once in late spring after the oak and maple seed drop, and again in late fall after leaves have fallen. If you have many trees overhanging your roof, more frequent checks may be needed. This simple maintenance helps prevent water from backing up and damaging your foundation or landscaping.

Look for water spilling over the sides of the gutters during rain, plants growing out of the gutters, or sagging gutter sections. On the ground, check for eroded soil near your foundation, water pooling around fence posts, or staining on siding. If you see any of these, call Miksell Fencing & Landscaping—we can clear the blockage and inspect for damage to your yard and hardscapes.

Absolutely. Overflowing gutters dump excess water right next to your fence posts and flower beds, leading to rot, rust, and soil erosion. By keeping your gutters clean, you direct rainwater away from your property, which helps preserve wooden fences, prevents mud splashing on mulch beds, and reduces the need for costly landscape repairs. It’s a simple step that protects all your outdoor investments.
