Full Breakdown
Mesquite has not adopted a leaf blower ban or gas-blower phase-out. Residential and commercial landscaping equipment, including gas-powered leaf blowers, lawn mowers, and trimmers, may be operated during reasonable daytime hours, generally 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Operating loud power equipment before 7:00 a.m. or after 10:00 p.m. in residential areas can trigger a noise nuisance citation under Chapter 18 of the Code of Ordinances. Commercial landscaping crews working in residential neighborhoods are expected to follow the same daytime windows. There are no decibel caps written specifically for leaf blowers, but operators must not unreasonably disturb neighbors. HOAs in master-planned communities may impose tighter weekend or Sunday-morning restrictions. Repeat violations may be cited at up to $500 per offense.
