Lexington has no outright ban on gas leaf blowers, but operation is regulated through Chapter 14 noise limits and nuisance rules covering time of day and sound level.
The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government does not prohibit gas-powered leaf blowers, but their use falls under the general noise provisions of Chapter 14 of the Lexington Code of Ordinances. Residents and landscaping crews should avoid operating blowers during early morning or late evening hours in residential areas, and must not allow sustained sound levels that unreasonably disturb neighbors. Commercial landscape maintenance companies are expected to use equipment in good working order with functioning mufflers. Homeowner associations in neighborhoods like Chevy Chase, Ashland Park, or Beaumont may impose stricter rules. Drifting debris across property lines may also create a separate nuisance under LFUCG property maintenance rules.
