People ask, Don’t Pine Needles Get Stuck in the Gutter Brushes
The gutter does not clog but the answer is yes, pine needles do get stuck in the bristles but the gutter does not clog.
What's so Great About GutterBrush Guarding the Gutter From Pine Needles
GutterBrush accepts rain water, even fast rain water better than any other gutter guard and it also keeps the gutter from clogging with pine needles and other debris.
What's The Problem With Other Guards and Pine Needles
Pine Needles are difficult for gutter systems and even extremely costly gutter guards. Most people pay thousands only to find that the gutter guard sends the water past the gutter, especially when covered with pine needles or filled with pine needles. Most gutter guards are shaped like a ramp that sends the water past the outer edge of the gutter in certain conditions. This debris-ramp-overshoot is one of the biggest problems with “linear” shaped gutter guards. Restricting the gutter opening and creating a shelf above the gutter is a recipe for keeping the water out. Traditional gutter guards restrict the gutter opening.
Pine Needle Gutter Guard and then Disappointment
Imagine spending thousands of dollars on something and it does not work? For example, in the first month, a heavy wind blows covering your gutter guard or gutter screen or gutter cover with pine needles and that same storm brings fast heavy rain that cascades fast down the roof, hits the debris covered gutter guard and overshoots the gutter, such a scenario is very disappointing if you had spent a ton of money, less so if you didn't spend much

Do Gutter Guards work with pine needles ?
GutterBrush keeps the gutter from clogging with pine needles, I will write more about that below. There are some things to discuss about pine needles, it's not just the thin “needle” shape that can fit into even the tiny-est of gutter screen or gutter topper openings, it is also the fact that they fall in high volumes. They do not only drop in during the autumn season, rather they hang on to the tree and they fall all year long when the wind blows them loose. Pine needles will certainly fit into the slot in a gutter helmet style device and if they do not fit inside the device, the pine needles will lay on top of the device. The real problem is that those types of gutter protection devices are expensive and complicated; and everything (including gutter guards) out the debris field needs maintenance at some point to continue to perform properly. All gutter guards out in the debris field will need maintenance and some of the complicated guards are difficult to take apart to clean. Additionally, they are linear flat items pointing towards the outer edge of the gutter so when gutter debris or pine needles lay on top of them, it creates a flat mat that the fast water uses as a ramp. Imagine, you have a gutter guard company install gutter mesh over your gutter, only to find that in the first 4 months, it gets covered with a layer of pine needles and much of the water is now overshooting the gutter unless you break out that ladder and go up there and brush them off. The maintenance is the reason why a major gutter mesh company offers a free gutter guard brush with each installation. Gutterbrush keeps the gutter from clogging and is very easy to maintain and completely renew if or when necessary because nothing is fastened and the system is user friendly.
Best Pine Needle Gutter Guard, What a Contractor Says
John is from California, as a contractor he performs pressure washing, solar panel cleaning, and he cleans gutters for 6 months out of the year. John never bought any Gutterbrush, and Gutterbrush didn’t even know who he was until a few weeks ago, but he works in a location in California that is just inundated with pine needles everywhere. He went on to explain that he knows his gutters and his customers and due to the pine needles, none of the gutter guard systems work. Years ago, he came across one of his customer’s gutters which was filled with Gutterbrush and flowing just fine. He swears that due to the massive abundance of pine needles, Gutterbrush is the only gutter protection that works. For years he was suggesting that his customers purchase Gutterbrush direct and when he arrives to clean the gutters, he will install it. Gutterbrush just met him 2 weeks ago, yet he had been installing GutterBrush for years due to the pine needle problem, and the fact that GutterBrush keeps the gutter from clogging and nothing else works. Those were his words, but John went on to say that the GutterBrush system actually helps him perform the maintenance faster too. His style is that when he shows up for a regular gutter cleaning at certain pre-discussed intervals or years, he aggressively pulls the brushes out and bangs them out for renewal and re-installation. He claims it is faster for him to do that with 3 foot lengths, than it would otherwise be for him to scoop individual handfuls of all of the pine needle debris; so he loves the easier maintenance process while his customers love the free flowing gutters.

Important! The Gutter is Still Not Clogged With Pine Needles
It is important to understand the way GutterBrush keeps gutters from clogging with pine n needles. Lets use an example that a gutter had already been filled entirely with Gutterbrush a good long while ago and this particular gutter had lots of pine needles dropped all over it for a long time: so much that with this gutter, some of it is now ready for GutterBrush maintenance. It is important to know that even when GutterBrush has reached the point of needing maintenance, the gutter still is not clogged! During a light or normal rain storm, this gutter will flow just fine. When Gutterbrush gets to the point when it is time for maintenance, the gutter still is not clogged; the flow may only be diminished but the gutter is still not clogged. The customer can tell that it may be time for maintenance, when the heaviest of rains begins to display a little pour over at one spot initially; but the gutter still has not clogged.

Pine Needle Gutter Guards Because Pine Needles Cant Clump and Flow to Clog
I cleaned gutters for 25 years so I do understand how gutters clog. Obviously, pine needles are very thin and a pine needle on its own could never be a reason for a clogged gutter. The way a gutter clogs is as follows, Gutter debris enters and lays in the gutter. A heavy rain happens, and the rain water rushes down the roof, enters the gutter and creates a river of water flow within the gutter. That river of water flow, floats and moves the individual pieces of gutter debris down the gutter channel. As the pine needles float down the gutter channel, they get hung up on other pine needles. As more and more debris floats towards it, the clump becomes larger and larger with each piece attempting to pass but also getting stuck. Eventually, that pine needle clump either becomes a large dam causing a clog, or the clump gets floated further down the gutter where it tries to flow down the downspout. Unfortunately, that clump becomes too large to fit down the downspout so it becomes a plug that clogs the gutter outlet tube. Most gutter clogging is caused at the outlet tube when a large plug of debris is floated down the gutter river and is too large to fit down the downspout, so the gutter clogs
