Residential work ( noise )

[johnanderton]

Here in the states it varies. Check with your local goverment regarding any noise laws. I can say for comericial locations no after hours restrictions for home owner locations a whole nother can of worms!

as far as i am aware you may opperte machinery in a residential area from 8am-8pm BUT this is dependant on the noise levells created by the machine - personally we do not work any earlyer than 8 am and finnish by 6 pm ( unless we are on an emergency job ) if the job is an emergency then we tend to carry on cutting but keep chipper use to a minimum .

10:30 was way too early for one particular gentleman in WSM.

I've never had a problem, on weekend jobs I knock on the immediate neighbours and

let them know we will be making a bit of noise. They are usually fine with it and happy to see trees go!

As far as I am aware there are no specific laws governing this, just common courtesy.

 

I would be interested if anyone can point to specific legislation that says otherwise.

I dont think there is-frankly, if they want the tree out....there is noise involved-end of.....

i have always thought 8am -8pm was good manners, after 8pm would be depending on the street and residents, i have seen me work until dark in the summer but i have been doing work for all the residents and it was summer holidays.

Weekends i wouldnt start till after 9am, i have been called alsorts but this is from people i have absolutelty no respect for the second they open their mouths and be abusive to myself or staff, rude impolite peolpe who think the world revolves around them.

I have turned up to jobs before with a lot of kit and workers and left with out starting due to circumstances of nieghbours health etc. This has cost me money BUT some things are more important:001_cool:
