This undated image released by the New York Botanical Garden shows Tyler Campbell using an electric hedgetrimmer to trim hedges at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx borough of New York.
First, he bought an electric lawnmower. Then an electric string trimmer, hedge trimmer and leaf blower. “I don’t have an electric snowblower, yet. But when I do replace the gas snowblower, it’ll be with an electric one,” he says. Morrell, who also teaches aspiring landscaping professionals, says that while electric trimmers and mowers are now as good or better than gas-guzzling versions, cordless electric leaf blowers are still a challenge “because they require a lot of velocity and power, and the weight of the battery at this point is a lot heavier than gas.”
Where power tools are needed, the shift from gas to electric is not unlike the trend toward electric cars.
Its the lawns themselves that are the problem. And the lunatic blowers . Obviously.

Or we could just skip the batteries AND the noise by using...
Imagine how long this would take having to recharge the battery every 5 minutes

Love my electric weed whacked tbh
They are also a lot lighter than a gas model, making the chore much easier! Just be cognizant of lithium-ion battery safety issues.
also leaf blowers are the scurge of the quiet suburbs & countryside. Not sure if making them electric will make them any quieter, its the fan not the power...we need to just ban them. Brushes and rakes work fine (and they get you fit)
When you work downtown & three different ofc surrounding you have their own landscapers, it’s dueling leaf blowers & hedge trimmers every damn day. NONE of them actually pick up the leaves. They just blow it over to the next property. It’s a daily battle with these fools.
We've swapped all of our gas tools for battery. And our city gave us rebates for all of them. Win/Win!
