Loudoun County has no leaf-blower-specific restrictions; use falls under general noise ordinance timing limits. Many Ashburn, Brambleton, and Leesburg HOAs set stricter landscaping hours.
Loudoun County does not regulate gas or electric leaf blowers by type or decibel level. Operation must fall within the general noise ordinance window (7 AM to 9 PM weekdays, 9 AM to 9 PM weekends). Peak usage runs October through December given Loudoun's heavy oak, maple, and sycamore canopy. Commercial landscaping crews service dense HOA neighborhoods throughout eastern Loudoun (Ashburn, Sterling, South Riding, Broadlands, Brambleton), where HOAs frequently impose stricter 8 AM-6 PM landscaping windows. Unlike DC and Montgomery County MD next door, Loudoun has no gas-powered blower phaseout and no current proposal to adopt one given Dillon's Rule constraints.
Operating outside allowed hours: general noise violation $100-$500. No specific leaf blower penalties. HOA fines separate, typically $25-$100 per violation.
