Testimonial
"We've been using only battery-operated blowers for the past two years and have had no trouble keeping up with the work in a timely manner. We've had no complaints from clients that our services are taking more time and have heard nothing but compliments on low noise levels from the battery blowers."
- Testimony to DC Council from the owner of the local landscaping company, The Enchanted Garden

Resources
Businesses making the switch, we understand that having reliable equipment is important to your bottom line and maximizing your return on investment. The American Green Zone Alliance (AGZA), an independent organization working to reduce emission and increase safety in the lawn care industry, provide a directory of AGZA Field Tested Certified (AFTC) manufacturers and their electric equipment. Before you purchase any new electric lawn care equipment, visit their directory for what, in their words, is "the best of the best in the cordless lawn and garden sector".
In 2018, Council of the District of Columbia passed the Leaf Blower Regulation Amendment Act that prohibits the sale, offer for sale, or use of any gas-powered leaf blowers within the District, effective January 1st, 2022. Check DCRA's website for updated information about leaf blower regulations.
