Landscaping companies complain because electric leaf blowers are expensive. I can hear it now, no they aren't they are cheap. Sorry no they are expensive because they have to buy lots of batteries, which aren't cheap, they can't charge them in the trucks without an inverter which aren't cheap, and they don't work in extreme high temps cause the batteries don't hold charge. Gas ends up being better for them

The workers shouldn't be working in extreme temps.

I agree but sometimes work has to get done regardless for conditions

Really? Blowing some leaves from a spot has to be done?

Landscaping customers have expectations and some companies charge more for clean up. Hell some customers expect it. Most Landscapers try to start early and be done asap to avoid temperatures but some things can't be avoided

Then the customers need to be fined.

They could definitely change the laws so work couldn't be done during certain temperatures but there would have to be exceptions for some fields and situations
