leafblowing etiquette

They do it cause its easy and theyre being lazy. You arent the only one to get pissed. Ive yelled at the guy that used to do it to me. Theyre gonna keep doing it until somebody says something. They have too many lawns to get through to sweep up the grass and leaves, so I kinda get it, but it aint happening if Im around to see it.

 

Nope, I agree it's definitely not cool, but yes they can do it and get away with it. It's basically a mad max/thunderdome situation. So if it bothers you enough, and you want to invest enough to win this game, be home when their lawn crews come, invest in a BR-700 (actually I recommend one per family member, make it an activity), and yall blow when they blow.

I think there's a more powerful husqvy now too, but you get the point. They will not likely have these. Blow it all back at them and then some. Hell walk down the road a bit, and blow whatever ditch debris/garbage right up in their kitchen.


Edit: oh wow stihl has a much more powerful 800 magnum, I'd go for a family set of those. Drive every leaf and piece of trash within walking distance into their yards with a complete set of these bad boys, and do it while their lawn crews are there. https://www.stihlusa.com/products/blowers-and-shredder-vacs/professional-blowers/br800ce/

Gawdammit i want one of these now and I don't even have this problem.

 

If you’ve asked and they still won’t blow the trimmings back into their own lawn I’d say green light on blowing it back onto their drive way. Turnabout is fair play.

 

Clearly the only end to this is a mano-e-mano blow-off. Who will win? Indeed, who blows harder? (clap clap)

 

Also always gets me when driving around and and someone’s blowing a bunch of junk into a major street as cars drive by.

 

Buy a bigger blower. Announce your presence with authority.

 

I have a guy with a crew who does our lawn, but they don’t blow it next door. It gets mulched or some damn thing. Beats me. If I saw our people do this, I’d tell them to cut the crap, or they’re history.

 

is john wick available? how many coins you got breh?

 

Homies got a marker breh!

 

dam. i would recommend boban but breh already dieded. curse you baba yegaaa!

 

I do my own lawn work at home, and that would def upset me. You have every reason to be upset too. Fortunately for me, the 3 diff lawn companies that work on the 3 neighboring houses don't practice the bad habits you mention.

 

Yeah, trimmings should be blown back into the property owners yard...not the neighbors yard or the street.

If it hasn't been suggested yet, I'd say solve the problem with a dance off.

 

Bothers me too. If I see it, I blow it back. Especially if its a lot. Like they didn't bag anything and only blew it across the way.

They're just being lazy. But blowing it into the street could be a problem if they're next to the sewer it could clog it up. Then everyone would suffer.

 

Assert your dominance in this situation.

I would start by urinating on your neighbors yard.

If that doesn’t work you need to defacate on their front door.

If that doesn’t work, turn to arson. That usually will work.

 

as Texans you all should be able to handle a few more leaves in your yards

 

I blow my clippings across the street but there's no house there, it's just a neighborhood sidewalk. I never thought people would get upset at lawn clippings on the curb.

 

I understand the efficiency of a leaf blower, but I cannot think of a more annoying sound than leaf blowers at 7:30 AM on a Friday or Saturday morning. Or...if you live in certain neighborhoods, there is ALWAYS one going somewhere...its never quiet.

 

“when previous neighbors were there i once caught a dude blowing leaves into my yard. i had only raked the previous day so i got pissed and made him clean it up while i stood there.”
