Ulster County has no countywide leaf blower ordinance. Restrictions exist primarily in Woodstock and a few other towns, while Kingston regulates them under general noise rules.
Woodstock has discussed seasonal gas leaf blower restrictions as part of its climate action plan but has not enacted a full ban as of 2024. Most Ulster municipalities regulate leaf blowers through general noise ordinances that limit operation to daytime hours, typically 8:00am to 6:00pm weekdays. Commercial landscapers may face additional restrictions on weekends. New Paltz Village restricts powered equipment to 8:00am to 8:00pm. Check with your local town clerk for the most current rules.
