City Council Proposes Limiting Times in which Residents Can Mow Lawns

Carmel, Indiana city leaders may be trimming back when people can trim their lawn. The City Council is proposing a noise ordinance change that would force homeowners and companies to mow between the hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Currently, people in Carmel can tend to their lawns as early as six in the morning until 10 at night.

As for homeowners, they appear to be somewhat split on the ordinance.
