I don't find gas leaf blowers exceptionally annoying. They aren't really anymore annoying that anything else going on in my area. It's what leaf blowers are used for that bother me. I see people just using them to blow leaves either into the street or into neighbors yards. What is the utility in this? Do they think leaves disappear?
- sarchertech 10mo agoThey’re much louder than other common lawn equipment. People also tend to use them more frequently. Most of my neighbors will only run a lawnmower once a week or every 2 weeks. But they’ll be out there every day with a leaf blower during parts of the year.
- sidewndr46 10mo agoAgreed, but I'm comparing them to the other stuff that is always going on. During the week you can always hear: roofing nailguns, wood chipper, backup beeper, & someone playing music.
- sarchertech 10mo agoThat depends on where you’re at. I live in a neighborhood with 2-5 acre lots. I can’t hear any of those things unless my immediate neighbors are doing them, which they rarely are. I can hear leaf blowers constantly though because you can hear them in a quarter mile radius. Also local ordinances in most places ban loud noises without a permit. But lawn maintenance equipment is a specific exception.

- sidewndr46 10mo agoI've owned the property I've been referring to for over 6 years. Never seen a street sweeper. Leaves in the street from my neighbors yards are about 1 foot deep at the curb
- rascul 10mo agoSome municipalities have leaf pickup service if you pile up the leaves on the side of the street.
