Gilbert does not ban leaf blowers but regulates all outdoor equipment noise through the general noise ordinance. Power equipment use must comply with construction-style hour restrictions near residential zones.
Gilbert's noise ordinance applies to all outdoor power equipment including leaf blowers and lawn mowers. Near residential zones, these tools should be used within permitted daytime hours. The town has not enacted specific leaf blower bans, decibel limits, or gas-powered equipment restrictions. Landscaping operations within 500 feet of residential zones should follow the general time restrictions. Weekend use should begin no earlier than 7 AM near homes. Commercial landscaping crews must be mindful of the noise ordinance during early morning operations.
Equipment use during restricted hours near residential areas violates the noise ordinance. Violations are misdemeanors with fines determined by the municipal court.
