Types
Brush, mesh and covered gutters
Brush guards sit in the gutter and catch leaves on top; a 4 m length is about €21.99 in DIY shops. Mesh guards clip over the top. Covered gutters (leafguard) have a hood that sheds leaves. All still need a look once a year: moss and seeds get through.
Worth it?
Where guards pay
Under big trees in Foxrock, Rathfarnham, Castleknock or Clontarf, yes. Tree cover is just under 19% of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown and 17.3% of South Dublin, against 6.5% of Fingal (2017 Dublin Tree Canopy Survey).
