Grass growing above garage door

Page 1 of 1
Cleaned the gutter of leaves and grass 8 months ago. Now the grass is growing on the whole horizontal stretch of the garage door. Please see the circled area in photo. The house is 5 years old. Is this a drainage issue? Thank you.


Dry periods and irregular rainfall is conducive to sediment build up and the Melbourne metro and other areas have in excess of 90% precipitation that is drizzle or light showers. Combine this with slow draining quad gutters and you have conditions suited to the germination of any seeds present.

Half round gutters have the best flushing characteristics.
