The town of Lexington voted to keep a ban on leaf blowers Monday. The ban will begin with a phase out stage before a full ban.
Not everyone is on board with the ban, which impacts both homeowners and landscapers.
Voters approved the bylaw by a count of 3,351 to 2,740.
Lexington, a famous Revolutionary War battleground, is now the site of a modern-day fight over gas-powered leaf blowers.
The ban was overwhelmingly passed during a town meeting, but local landscapers are now making a move to overturn it.
