When it comes to landscaping equipment, gas-powered is out and battery-powered is in.
Roaring leaf blowers, buzzing weed trimmers, the stink of gas-powered mowers…if you live in an urban area or have close neighbors, you’ve likely been frustrated by the inconvenience, noise, and smell of landscaping equipment and tools.
In 2022, California enacted a ban on gas-powered lawn equipment, including lawnmowers, leaf blowers and snow blowers. By 2024, all of those tools must be zero-emission. And California isn’t alone—cities and states across America are tightening rules and moving toward bans on gas-powered lawn equipment.
“The entire landscaping industry is transitioning to battery-operated equipment,” confirms Tony Jimenez, owner of Pacific Landscaping & Tree Service Inc. in Pacific Grove. “Electric equipment is more efficient, quieter and less polluting. New technology is coming out every day that will let landscapers go all battery-operated.”
Gas-powered lawn equipment creates two kinds of pollution.
Most leaf blowers make noise that registers between 65 and 80 decibels, which can lead to hearing damage in people near the source of the sound and create noise pollution throughout neighborhoods. Along with noise pollution, gas-powered equipment is incredibly harmful to the environment. In fact, studies have shown that one hour of using gas-powered lawn equipment causes as much pollution as driving a car from Las Vegas to Los Angeles. This pollution fog includes known carcinogens, smog-forming chemicals, and other compounds that impact the environment and make it hard to breathe.
There are Green alternatives to gas-powered leaf blowers, mowers and more.
You and your landscape contractor have options when it comes to eco-friendly alternatives to gas-powered equipment. Battery-powered lawn equipment and tools are becoming increasingly popular. If you have a gas-powered version of a certain piece of lawn equipment, there’s likely an electric or battery-operated version available. While the technology is newer, it’s increasingly powerful and prices are already falling due to demand.
As a consumer, you can support these changes by choosing to invest in electric and battery-operated equipment, either by purchasing new products or replacing broken or outdated ones. You can also ask your landscaper what type of equipment they use and hire companies that opt for zero-emission equipment that limits noise and prevents pollution.
Maintaining customer satisfaction is a crucial aspect of any business, but it’s even more important for landscape contractors that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award. For Pacific Landscaping & Tree Service Inc., the key to keeping clients happy is simple: take a professional, detail-oriented approach to their projects, regardless of the extent of the work. “We have a lot of customers who call us back on a yearly basis, and that’s because they know they’re going to be completely satisfied with our services,” says President Tony Jimenez. “They appreciate that we have what it takes to handle any landscaping or tree work that needs to be done.”
Pacific Landscaping & Tree Service has been providing landscaping services for residential and commercial clients in Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties since 2010. In addition to working on everything from routine yard and tree maintenance to comprehensive landscape construction projects, the company has the training and equipment to install hardscaping features that enhance its customers’ outdoor spaces.
Unlike landscape contractors whose owners delegate project management responsibilities to less experienced employees, Pacific Landscaping & Tree Service provides each job with the hands-on expertise of Mr. Jimenez himself. “Before considering a job complete, I watch over our crew members to make sure they’re doing everything correctly and perform a final walkthrough to confirm that the work meets the client’s expectations,” he says. “It’s important for me to stay involved because I truly care about our reputation as a family-owned company. The best way we can build our business is to continually deliver more than is expected of us.”
Ultimately, Mr. Jimenez sees Pacific Landscaping & Tree Service’s company-wide dedication to quality as its most important attribute. “We’re not the cheapest company out there, but we do high-quality work that increases the value of our clients’ properties,” he says. “When people see our bids and listen to what we’re going to do for them, they know they can trust us because it’s clear that the results will be well worth the money.”
