Thanks! Yes, I'm a writer. A creative description writer in fact. I used to be the "head builder" of a text-based roleplaying game. You send your character "north" and it brings them to a "room" with a description. I wrote those descriptions.

Gas blowers are crazy loud and blow really bad emissions. I kinda like the idea of only electric.

Are you landscaper making living? Blowing wouldn’t be necessary if customers didn’t except grass and leaves to be removed. Besides most just blown clippings out in street. Maybe just need to demand all debris be sweep up and pay the extra for it? Blower/suctioning turns hour job into 20 minute or less profitable job at cheap price.

We over govern everything. People will always complain about something. Typical is they shouldn't but what I do is fine. "More of a live and let live person." Truth,HONESTY I've become less tolerant. OUTLAW PEOPLE might be a solution.

Probably brought back memories to the old guys….when they had to mow and use a blower. Not everything is bad..

I will admit that i made an attachment that allowed me to blow the leaves out of the gutters, but the was an electric blower and the debris went into my garden.

This might get as many comments as gas vrs. electric golf carts....LOL ! Heard on radio newscast yesterday that the list of communities and entire states banning gas leaf/grass/debris blowers is growing rapidly. The stated reasons for banning gas is the decibel level, so some states and some communities are (for the time being) going to allow electric blowers. News also reported a growing number of states and individual communities have banned ALL blowers, stating that simply dissipating dirty, dust, and debris into the air serves no purpose, and the practice of one neighbor or one lawn service simply blowing the debris onto the property of another neighbor not only serves no purpose, but as been the foundation of many serious incidents. Reminds me of one morning I was standing on my driveway, holding my cup of coffee looking for the paper which should have been delivered by that time. The neighbor's lawn service was just finishing by using a gas blower to clear all the debris. The woman using it turned it directly to me as I stood on my drive, absolutely covered me in dirt and clippings and filling my coffee cup with dirt. I poured out my coffee and waited for her to finish. As she was loading the blower onto the trailer, I walked up to her and said very calmly: " I don't mean to be rude, but would you tell me why you would blow all of your trash onto me, and my drive and yard, instead of the people whose yard you are working in ? I said this in a very conversational, NOT confrontational, tone. She looked at me and YELLED: MY BOSS OWNS THIS COMPANY AND HE SAID WE CAN'T BLOW NUTTIN' ON OUR CUSTOMER'S PROPERTY BECAUSE THEY ARE PAYING US !". At that point I realized she, and possibly the other male, were mentally challenged, so I nodded very slightly and went in to get a clean cup of coffee. As an aside, these were the very same two individuals I had given fresh, cold, homemade lemonade to in large disposable cups just weeks ago because they looked so hot ! Just wondering, might be very pleasant if the villages did away with blowers all together like some of these places have ! ?

There's nothing on a driveway that a push broom can't sweep off, no idea why anyone would need a blower at all around here.

I agree but, I have NEVER in all these years ever seen ONE yard service that does NOT blow all the debris into neighboring yards before they leave ! ?

Interesting that in a discussion site people want to limit what can be discussed.
