In reply to Hossain Ahmad. Every community in the US deals with leaf blowers differently. Some municipalities have banned them, others have not. You can do a google search for "communities that have banned leaf blowers" and see what you find. Good luck.

Hi, I live in Malaga Park and the best battery powered leaf blowers (now used year-round, and currently extensively for grass clippings) is driving me crazy. I did a search about banning leaf blowers and found your blog, written years ago. I am assuming this was voted against. Is there anything currently happening to try to ban the blowers? I would like to be involved. I think all blowers should be banned though, not just gas, as I am mainly concerned about noise. (I also am having issues with mowers which is another problem I think, but not quite as bad as blowers, they are still noisy and polluting). Please let me know. Thank you.

In reply to AJ. There are battery powered blowers that are pretty quiet, but nothing is as quiet as a push mower, probably. Sorry for your pain!

Does anyone have any insight into fuel cell powered leaf blowers? It sounds like a much quieter option that is also portable and clean. The traditional leaf blowers are driving me nuts right now. One day it is my neighbors to my left, the next day it is my neighbors to my right, the next day it is coming from the house across the street…non stop. I hope fuel cells leaf blowers can be a viable technological replacement.

In reply to sell my mobile. Sitting here listening to a guy use a leaf blower for the pat 3 hrs. since 8:00am on a city lawn that has hardly any leaves on it left over from the fall, (it is now spring). It is driving me nuts! He's collected one bag so far. Use a rake you lazy POC! The dude has on massive ear protection, hey where is my ear protection! I've done landscaping before and we had a massive leave blower that took about 1/2 hour to clear a lawn that was buried with leafs, I get it, but sometimes a rake is more effective and far less annoying. Heck, Just moving the lawn would have mulched up the amount of leaves this dude was trying to clear in about 20min.

In reply to Minneapolis Lawn. Yes, the noise can be unbearable. There's nothing as quiet as a rake!
