I live in a brand new subdivision, all the trees in the neighborhood are new, short and do not extend over the gutter line. Do I also need strainers in my downspouts?

Yes, it makes sense to put them in. Next time when you inspect your gutter system, which should be done at least once per year, put the strainers in. Even if your tree heights are below the gutter line. The trees will grow over the next few years. Meanwhile the strainers will keep your kids’ toys, tennis balls, and wildlife out of the downspouts.
