No person shall operate such equipment:

before 9:00 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays; or

Sundays or holidays: New Years Day, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The definition of leaf blowers includes a blower nozzle extension. No material may be blown upon neighboring properties or onto any part of the public right-of-way, including but not limited to sidewalks, streets, storm drains or the lagoon, without being immediately removed. Please also be advised that in order to operate a landscape maintenance business legally or to do work in Foster City a business license issued by the City is required.
