95% of the Roof Cleanings we do here in Pinellas County Florida involve having no gutters. Water, Water and more water. Be sure to soak down the root systems of shrubs before starting. Some landscaping can be very sensitive to Roof Cleaning Chems and require more than just watering. For these types of plants/shrubs etc... we cover them during the process. All Landscaping is then watered down again. If there is an irrigation system available we normally ask the customer to water the night before and if possible for a night or 2 after the initial cleaning. Cleaning Roofs without gutters can be very tricky. Be sure to keep all the exterior walls wet at all times and have a ground guy following whoever is spraying the roof to catch the runoff and keep rinsing the landscaping. No gutters usual ups the % rate of getting Chems on the exterior and direct contact can result in burnt foliage of plants and shrubs. Good luck. Hope this helps a little.

i working on landing a decent size job 6 buildings but thay dont have any guters. any suggestions?
I bent up 10 foot sections of aluminum L channel with a smash tab for strength in my brake and I keep 100 foot of it on the truck. If necessary I slip it under the last shingle guide it into a 5 gallon bucket.
or just sell them gutters and downs @ 5 bucks a foot that will solve all your troubles.
If you covered as much as possible and watered as much also , could you leave soak er hoses along the house for some time after to saturate the ground ? I have never seen any posts on soaker hoses. I do not know if any one uses them
