Gas-powered leaf blowers in Babylon are restricted to 8 AM to 6 PM weekdays and 9 AM to 5 PM weekends. Commercial landscapers must comply with equipment noise limits under Chapter 158.
Babylon aligns with Suffolk County suburban norms limiting leaf blower operation to daytime hours to protect residential quality of life. There is no outright seasonal ban like in parts of Nassau County, but chronic commercial violators face escalating fines. Electric and battery-powered blowers are encouraged but not required. The Town has discussed summer seasonal restrictions but has not enacted them.
Warnings typical first, then 150 to 500 dollar fines. Commercial landscapers may face business license review.
