Many of the landscapers who create residents’ neatly trimmed lawns and shrubs could potentially go out of business under California’s ban on the sale of gas-powered gardening equipment starting in 2024, according to Jay Martinez, CEO of JVM Landscape Construction, located in the Sacramento area.
Landscapers who need new supplies will be required to buy electric lawnmowers and leaf blowers instead, but such a transition is not as simple as it may sound, said Mr. Martinez. Such a ban also applies to equipment purchased for private use.
