It’s that time of year when outdoor activities and yard maintenance increase throughout the neighborhood. While we love seeing residents enjoy their outdoor spaces, it’s also important to be mindful of how certain activities, particularly the use of leaf blowers, may impact nearby neighbors.
To one homeowner, routine yard work may feel like a normal part of the day. However, leaf blowers in particular can create sustained noise that carries farther than expected and can be disruptive to others who may be working from home, resting, or simply enjoying some quiet time outdoors.
We encourage residents and service providers to be considerate by limiting leaf blower use to reasonable hours, keeping run times as short as possible, and being aware of how sound travels beyond your own property. Taking a moment to step outside and gauge the noise level, or communicating with nearby neighbors when extended work is planned, can go a long way toward maintaining a respectful and pleasant community environment.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping keep our neighborhood enjoyable for everyone.
