Suffolk County has no county-wide leaf blower ban, but several East End towns restrict gas-powered leaf blowers seasonally. Southampton and East Hampton have enacted the strictest seasonal bans on Long Island, typically prohibiting gas leaf blowers from May 20 to September 20.
East Hampton Town Code Chapter 184-6 and Southampton Town Code Chapter 235 prohibit gas-powered leaf blower use during summer months, with village-level overlays in Sag Harbor and East Hampton Village. Western Suffolk towns (Babylon, Islip, Huntington, Smithtown, Brookhaven) regulate leaf blowers only through general noise ordinances, typically limiting use to daytime hours. Landscaping crews in East End must use electric or battery equipment during the restricted season.
East Hampton fines $250 first offense, up to $1,000 for repeat offenses. Landscaping business licenses can be suspended for repeat violations.
