Is it normal in Cyprus for gardeners to use power tools and leaf blowers at 8am almost every single day? I know garden maintenance needs to be done, but holy shit. I can’t remember the last time I woke up and there wasn’t the sound of an engine right outside my door.
For context, I live in a gated complex where 90% of the houses are holiday rentals for tourists. There’s also a “neighbourhood committee” and communal fees to pay, etc. Idk if that’s relevant, but thought I’d mention it.
Most of the time, when I look out my window to see what they’re even doing, they’re either trimming perfectly healthy trees to within an inch of their lives, leaving them looking like ridiculous stumps with no foliage, OR they’re using leaf blowers to blow leaves from one corner of the road to the other.
Do these gardeners simply have contracted hours that they need to fill in whatever way they can?… Because it doesn’t feel like what they’re doing actually benefits the gardens or trees, either practically or aesthetically.
I’d get it if they were actually making the place look better, but from what I can tell the only thing they’ve achieving is giving me a daily headache.
I hate to be “that person” but are there any laws about noise pollution here?…
I’ve tried to ignore it for years but it’s starting to genuinely effect my sleep and daily life. I work from home so it’s incredibly distracting.
Idk. I’m pretty sure they’re not breaking any rules and I doubt anything can actually be done to stop it, but I’m moody and I guess this is just the only place I could think of to. Pls ignore me.
