Description
This business in on a corner of a residential neighborhood. My home is located near the business property. The lawn service that is contracted with this property arrives every Monday prior to 6:30am to cut the grass and blow the parking lot. I do not know exactly what time they arrive I can only tell you that my wife & I are woken up at approx. 6:30-6:40am every Monday morning to the sound of mowers & blowers. I am uncertain as to the regulations for noise in a residential area, however my wife & I do not get up this early. Please advise if there is any regulation covering this and if so if you are able to assist in putting a stop to such an early activity.

The information below is directly from Pinellas County's website:
"Pinellas County uses a decibel-based noise control program that places maximum limits on noise allowed on a property. In residential areas between the hours of 7 a.m. and 11 p.m., a noise level of 72dBA (decibels) is allowed. After 11 p.m., the allowable level is reduced to 55dBA. As an example, normal conversation between two people standing five feet apart would measure about 55dBA.
Excessive noise from parties, people or vehicles is handled by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, (727) 582-6200. Normal maintenance and use of equipment such as lawn mowers, chainsaws, leaf blowers, and flushing boat motors are all conventional to everyday life and are exempted when used reasonably."
