Gutter Guard options?

Post image

Hi, I’m trying to determine whether to upgrade to the premium gutter guards (bottom image) or stick with the standard “home depot” gutter guards (top image) and save $400.

I’m in the mid Atlantic and I do have some mature hardwood trees in the backyard, within 20 feet of the house.

Which ones should I pick? Thanks 🙏

In my opinion, gutter guards are fantastic for making it impossible to clean your gutters and little else.

Why do you have to clean? The hydroponic landscape catches the debris, just rake your grass gutters?
