Preventing gutters from clogging and causing flooding

[Greg Downey]

BP crew,

I plan on transitioning my personal residence SFH (3/2) into a rental within the next 6 months. Having lived in the house for a very short time, I have gotten to know the property and what it needs done as far as preventative maintenance (luckily not much at all).

Where I am stumped is my gutters. We have 3 soft maples in the back yard that shed exactly 45 billion-trillion leaves in the early fall through mid spring. This causes the gutters to clog literally daily. I have resolved that some sort of gutter-clog prevention product is the only option to prevent myself from having to get on the roof every day for 4 months.

Do y'all have any recommendations for the best gutter product to solve the problem?

P.S. - No, tree removal is not a solution as the neighbor has about 10 soft maples that shed just as much into our yard/gutters.

If there is no basement , just remove the gutters and put some stone scaping douw where the water hits .  You can also take the end caps off the gutters , that way on a heavy rain it will push some leaves out
