Have a west facing garage and I am in a culdesac so I get leaves and trash in my garage when driving in an out. And extra leaves and trash in the corners of my yard as well. Still not as bad as all the little spinney balls from the freakin sweat gum tree in the middle fo the front yard.
Something I have noticed.
Since I got the house re-roofed and it put the ominous nail in the yard...The garage pretty much matches the temperature outside and there is more dust and dirt collecting.
When got the new roof converted the turbine vents to a ridge vent and added a couple of soffit vents.
Because the garage heater closet is open to the attic and has a gap under the closet doors it vents thru the garage. With the ridge vents it puts enough vacuum on the garage to suck the overhead door in enough the weather stripping pulls away letting air in the garage. Especially if there is any wind outside. And that is all the time in Oklahoma.
When put in a new water heater, code added those long and short vent tubes going into the attic to thermally vent the heater closet. So... am going to stuff some towels in the heater closet door gap to see if it makes any difference. If it makes a difference going add weather stripping to seal the heater closet from the garage.
