1The Outer Mission Maintenance Year
Put simply, trimming back branches over a Outer Mission roof removes the debris that holds water against the covering and shortens its working life. Two visits a year keeps a Outer Mission roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and look over the flashings after the first heavy storm.
