Welcome to the 2026 Quiet Season!

Pound Ridge’s leaf blower law is in effect from May 15 through October 15.
 
The law, which was enacted in 2023, says, “It shall be unlawful for a commercial operator to operate, cause to be operated, or permit the operation of an internal combustion leaf blower between May 15 and October 15.”
 
   If you are paying landscapers or others to work on your property during that time, gas-powered leaf blowers are prohibited.

   Please remind your landscapers, and remember that both landscapers and landowners are responsible for following the law. First offenses will result in a warning. Fines for second or third offenses range from $100 to $1000.

   If you are aware of a violation, call the Pound Ridge Town Police. 914 764-4206.
 
   Tell them there are leaf blowers operating in your neighborhood. 

   If you know for sure that it’s a lawn crew or some other commercial entity, tell the police the details.

   If you’re not sure, tell them you think the law is being violated and that you would like the police to investigate.
   
Thank you for cooperating in the effective enforcement of the noise ordinance, and have a happy, more peaceful summer!
