The Town of Lexington is preparing to take the next step in curbing the use of gas-powered leaf blowers.

Starting March 15, commercial landscapers will be prohibited from using gas-powered leaf blowers, escalating the current rules that limit their use on a seasonal basis. Residents can still use gas-powered leaf blowers (abiding by seasonal restrictions) until March 2026, when the ban extends to the entire town.
