Leafblaster Pro is the guard i recommend for customers with pine needles and different types of trees that shed annoying pollen and debris. The stainless steel woven mesh design will prevent the needles and other debris getting hung up in the perforations of a more conventional gutter guard. This guard is much more pricey for the materials and the labor due to the difficulty cutting and shaping it for corners. I would only recommend this guard if it is neccesarry due to the landscape at the property that it is to be installed.
Leafblaster Pro
Leafblaster Pro is available in 5" & 6" dimensions to fit the gutter appropriately, they are manufactured in 4' long sections. They should not need to be cleaned often but when the gutters are cleaned, if necessary to remove debris from the roof and gutters, the guards will not need to be removed and can be cleaned off with a leafblower and standard water hose if debris and/or pollen is excessive.
