Gutter Cleaning in Conyers and Rockdale County, GA
Rockdale is one of Georgia's smallest counties by land area, and almost everything in it orbits Conyers, the county seat. Small doesn't mean treeless, though. A lot of Rockdale is still wooded, and that's what drives gutter cleaning here.
Granite country
Rockdale sits in the same band of granite outcrops as Arabia Mountain and Stone Mountain, and part of the Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area reaches into the county. Where granite is close to the surface, soil can be thin. Roof water that spills over a gutter doesn't soak in well, so it runs across the yard, washes out mulch and collects against foundations and driveways. Gutters and downspouts that flow freely are the first line of defense.
Wooded corners of the county
- Around the Georgia International Horse Park. The park, which hosted equestrian and mountain biking events at the 1996 Olympics, is surrounded by wooded land and newer neighborhoods carved out of it.
- Black Shoals and Randy Poynter Lake. Homes in southeast Rockdale near the lake and park sit under tall hardwoods and pines.
- South Rockdale near the Monastery. The Monastery of the Holy Spirit keeps a large tract of forest and farmland, and homes on the roads around it tend to have big trees close by.
Olde Town and established neighborhoods
Near Olde Town Conyers and in neighborhoods from the 1970s and 1980s, oaks have grown well over many rooftops. Older homes may also have smaller downspouts that clog more easily. If you see water pouring over one corner of the house during storms, the downspout at that corner is the first suspect.
When to book in Rockdale
Spring cleaning works well in late April or May, once the yellow pine pollen stops falling. For fall, Georgia Public Broadcasting places metro Atlanta's color peak around early November, and in Rockdale the bulk of the leaves are usually down by early December. That's the best time for the fall cleaning. Under big oaks, a follow-up in January is a good idea.
Easy check between cleanings
After a hard rain, look for fresh trenches in mulch beds under the roofline and red clay splashed on the bottom of the siding. Both are signs water is coming over the gutter instead of through it.

Frequently asked questions
Do you clean gutters in Conyers and the rest of Rockdale County?
Yes. We cover all of Rockdale County, including Conyers, Milstead and the neighborhoods around the Horse Park, Black Shoals and the Monastery.
Why does water run across my yard instead of soaking in?
Parts of Rockdale have thin soil over granite, so water that overflows a gutter runs off fast. Keeping gutters and downspouts clear sends that water to the downspouts instead.
When is the best time to clean gutters in Rockdale County?
Late April or May for spring, and early December for fall, after most leaves are down.
Do I need a third cleaning if I live in the woods?
Often, yes. Homes under heavy oak cover benefit from a January check, since oaks keep dropping leaves after the main fall cleaning.
