The choice of landscaping materials and chemicals is ultimately up to the customer. Ideally, people would be aware and care that a landscaping company is needlessly pouring poison all over their property.
The best plan would be to design spaces that don’t ‘need’ weedkiller or leaf blowing.

You can't use DDT for insects in basic landscaping, for example. If it had been heavily used in landscaping (not sure it made sense), the solution to DDT's toxic effects wouldn't have been to educate individuals. When there are big negative externalities, the government usually needs to step in.
