Nassau County sets no countywide leaf-blower rule. Several incorporated villages (Great Neck Estates, Kensington, Sands Point, Roslyn) have enacted summer gas-blower bans; towns generally restrict operation to daytime hours only.
A growing number of Nassau villages restrict or ban gas-powered leaf blowers during summer months (typically June 15 to September 15). Town of North Hempstead debated a countywide-style ban in 2023. Most jurisdictions allow electric leaf blowers year-round during standard noise hours. Hempstead Town Code 89 treats leaf blowers as general noise sources subject to daytime-only operation.
Village violations typically 150 to 500 dollars per occurrence. Repeat commercial landscapers face escalated fines and potential license action.
