Several Westchester villages including Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Scarsdale, and Bronxville restrict gas-powered leaf blowers seasonally or year-round, while county noise guidance under Chapter 484 supports municipal action on yard-equipment noise.
Westchester County does not impose a uniform countywide gas leaf blower ban, but a growing list of villages limit them. Larchmont and Scarsdale ban gas blowers from June through September; Mamaroneck and Bronxville have similar warm-season bans with phased restrictions toward year-round limits. White Plains restricts use to weekday daytime hours. Electric and battery blowers are typically allowed with decibel and time-of-day limits. Landscapers must follow the rules for the specific village where they work, not just where they are based.
First offenses typically draw warnings; subsequent fines run roughly 100 to 500 dollars per occurrence. Repeat commercial offenders may face escalated fines and possible business-license review by the village.
