| Guard type | Works well for | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Micro-mesh | Pine needles, small debris | Needs a quick rinse now and then |
| Reverse curve | Big leaves, heavy leaf fall | Visible from the street |
| Screens | Larger leaves | Small debris can pass through |
| Foam / brush inserts | Light debris | Can hold debris over time |
An installer who sees your trees, roof pitch and gutters can recommend the right one.
