Are there any un-written rules on how early you can crank your lawnmover?

Featured Replies

A business will not normally call their clients before 9:00am depending on their time zone. A lawn service in a neighborhood should follow the same rule.

 

What about overnight delivery companies? UPS delivery trucks, near my job, roll out of their district before nine.

Why 7am dd? Why not first daylight and/or 8am?

 

I just used 7 am because of previous posts other than that :idunno:

 

 

Good question.

Do the trucks wake you up?

I do know that at our Duke Energy district we have an unwritten rule to not start working in residential areas before 8 am. If we have to disconnect the power we try to do it after 9 am unless it is an emergency or some prior arrangement.

Do the trucks wake you up?

 

Trucks no...knocking at my door, yes.

Day of the week shouldn't matter. Some work weekends and are off on certain days of the week. What about roofers?

I am not saying there is a right or wrong answer to this question but some members have cried foul because of commercial mowers. What I am pointing out is mowing commercially doesn't entitle you to any extra privilege over a private homeowner mowing his yard.

 

What if they put blue flashing lights on their mowers??:D

It really is a good question.

 

 

Also, my answer would or could change drastically depending on what I did the night before.

So then as a sidebar, my neighbor that owns a trucking company and houses all his trucks at his shop next to his house, and they start up and head out at 5 am 6 days a week, would you say that is wrong as well?

Great question!

 

I live in the city of Florence. In Florence your friend would not be permitted (code violation) to park all of his company trucks in a residential neighborhood and therefore that problem would never exist here. And yes I think Florence is spot on with that code.

Just curious but what are you calling a neighborhood? In my old neighborhood in Boone County no way would the Boone County planning and zoning allow that to happen! Now in saying that, if you moved into a place that was zoned commercial/business then that is your fault. I do realize that in a lot of counties in the Commonwealth there really isn't much planning and zoning but again that is your fault if the business moved there.

 

BTW Guru I did complain to Boone County Judge Moore about the trash company coming into our neighborhood years ago at 5am and it was stopped quickly as from what I can remember, the county contract said something to the effect not until after 7/8am.

 

As far as Sunday being different from Saturday the neighbors at least in my old neighborhood thought Saturday and Sunday were indeed different. We had a street agreement that everybody followed and that was no yard work until after 11am on Sunday! Again everybody worked together and we had no problems and I know you knew one of my neighbors rather well, until he moved....

Great question!

Are there any ordinances against kids running in snowsuits in the morning? If so, I probably should scratch Florence off my prospective places to live list.

I do not live in Florence but in my neighborhood, you cannot park a vehicle with a company name on the side of the vehicle your driveway. Also, 1 day for a trailer or boat then it must be moved from the property.

See I think this is where the question has multiple answers depending on where you live. In my case, I live out in the country, he is my closest neighbor and from house to house is probably at least a football field if not longer. Do I hear the trucks in the morning yes (weekedays Im already up for work so no big deal.) Hence, why I say I don't see sun up as an issue. People work different shifts different times, you can really know what your neighbors work life is persay.
