In Bentonville, Arkansas (covering ZIP codes 72712, 72713, and 72716), mature post oak and white oak canopies across Downtown, Coler Mountain Bike Preserve, and Crystal Bridges corridors deposit thousands of linear feet of dense pollen tassels (catkins) every spring.
Standard vinyl or slotted plastic covers allow fine oak pollen strands and organic tassels to slip inside the gutter channel. When mixed with spring downpours exceeding 2.5 inches per hour, this material forms a dense, impermeable sludge that clogs downspouts and forces overflow directly against home foundations.
Bentonville soils contain high concentrations of expansive silt loam and clay. When gutters overflow, concentrated roof runoff pools around concrete footings and garage slabs, causing foundation shifting, drywall cracking, and subterranean basement seepage.
Ozark Gutter Guard Co. installs 440-micron medical-grade 316 stainless steel micro-mesh fastened directly to the gutter lip and fascia board with heavy-gauge self-tapping hex screws.
