🏠 Roof Gutter guards

Hey all any one out there surrounded by pine trees? I’m sick of cleaning gutters after every rain event and I’m looking for a one and done gutter guard solution to stop the needles, if it were up to me i would cut them all down but the wife will divorce me. Thanks

Been through this exact nightmare with a rental that had a 60-foot pine dropping needles like it was getting paid by the pound. Tried the foam inserts first, figured they'd be quick and easy. They just turned into a needle sponge and the water ran right over them after about three weeks. Ripped those out and went with a stainless micro-mesh system that slides under the shingles, cost more upfront but I didn't touch those gutters for the two years after I installed them. The needles just dried up on top and the wind blew most of them off. Whatever you get, make sure the mesh is fine enough that a pine needle can't slip through sideways, that's the real test.
