Town of Huntington has passed a code that states in the beginning of 2026 gas powered leaf blowers will not be permitted to be used on residential properties by commercial landscapers AND HOMEOWNERS on their own properties.

 This will impact everyone who uses a landscaping service that uses gas powered leaf blowers, as well as any homeowner that does their own landscaping with gas powered leaf blowers. Anyone violating this code is subject to fines at minimum. If a ban of gas powered leaf blowers is allowed, this will force landscapers to purchase significantly more expensive battery powered equipment which will result in significant rate increase for services across the board. Homeowners who perform their own landscaping will be forced to purchase more expensive and inefficient battery powered equipment as well.

The ban has already passed and goes into effect January 1, 2026 so we must act now to reverse this decision. A decision that only passed due to lack of involvement by advocates of gas powered leaf blowers - as we were uninformed that a meeting was held on the decision. 

Thank you all for your support and have a very happy holiday season.
