But the trees provide leaves for mulching the garden and sticks for camp fire tinder.

Leaf-guards : N, Plural;
The things you need to not have to jack with that any more.

Hard Pass on those, bud.

My gutters were put up by my buddy, whom I help with installs and repairs from time to time, and myself. This ^^^ is what 9 out of 10 gutters with "guards" look after about 2 years or so. I'm going on 3 and mine are in tip top condition.

I’ve never heard anyone that likes them.

Englert Leafguard and those worthless gutter screens are two COMPLETELY different things.
One of them is guaranteed to never clog.

I've been putting up gutters for a living for the past 12 years, installed many many miles worth of Englert SureGuard.. good stuff unless you have pine needles.

Under needle trees we reccomend a product called Waterloov.. we like it a bit better than Englerts leafguard and another similar product called gutter Helmet that we used to install for home depot.

As with anything else... your results are only going to be as good as the quality of product and quality of installation.

I agree with this statement and am not familiar enough with the brands and styles. When I asked about them while we wwere installing my gutters, My guy said I don't need'em, so I don't have'em. I only have one huge oak tree on the east end og my house, so that end gets it the worst.
I do know I see them scattered across neighborhoods almost every hurricane season.
When I did Awnings, customers with gutter guards would usually try to get us to "fix" them or "straighten them up some", we learned to say "call the gutter guys, we're Awning guys" lol.

I've seen this type, too.

Two videos on the Englert LeafGuard brand.

Still a hard pass for me.

Which one? lol

 

[Blmpkn]

Waterloov doesn't. Been to a few jobs where it was installed 20+ years ago and all that made it into the gutter was shingle 'sand'

I went fishing and got charged by a bear, watched my dog jump on it and chase it off. And then I bought some D&D character sheets, went to Staples and photocopied them on some old parchment paper looking stuff. Getting set up for a winter hobby with my kids
