Manchester may restrict leaf blower use during early morning and evening hours. New Hampshire has no statewide leaf blower ban, leaving regulation to local ordinances under RSA 31:39.
Manchester addresses leaf blower noise through general noise ordinances rather than specific equipment bans. New Hampshire's tradition of limited regulation means most communities allow gas and electric leaf blowers during daytime hours. Typical restrictions limit use to 7 AM to 7 PM on weekdays and 8 AM to 5 PM on weekends. Commercial landscaping operations may face additional requirements. No NH municipalities have enacted outright gas leaf blower bans as of current regulations. Equipment should meet EPA emission standards. Contact Manchester code enforcement for specific local restrictions.
Violations of time restrictions: warning for first offense. Repeat violations: fines $50 to $200 under local noise ordinance.
