Guards in St. Charles: questions
Which guard suits the trees in St. Charles?
Small seeds and catkins favor fine mesh. If it's mostly big leaves, simpler types can work. Ask the contractor to name your trees and explain the choice. The guard guide covers each type.
Can you get guards fitted on an older St. Charles home?
Often, but the gutter needs to be sound and pitched first, and old or slate roofs need care at the edge. Ask how the guard fixes and whether anything gets lifted.
