Del. Foley: There’s a More Environmentally Sound, Quieter Way to Clear Our Yards

Backyard Bounty, a local lawn care company in the Montgomery County area, made the switch to all-electric equipment three years ago after getting rid of its gasoline-powered leaf blowers. “Our crews love the lower noise, lack of gas fumes, and lighter weight of the equipment,” said Kris Colby, operations manager. “Our clients love how quiet the machines are; one even mentioned to me that she can’t tell when the crew’s been for a visit until after they’ve gone because of the lack of noise.”
