Do gutters really have an important function? Sometimes I wonder and I really don't know the answer to that question. If the lawn goes right up to the house, I could see that the water coming off the roof could make a groove in the lawn. But if there are foundation plantings or walkways around the house, I wonder if gutters are necessary.
Frank cleaned his out after several years and I really couldn't see that the results were worth the risk of standing on the ladder like that. Mine are covered so I don't have to clean them.
