Do most apartments have landscaping work? (apartment complex, HOA, condo)

[kyle242]

I live in apartment that has right next to me green wall fencing my patio so I wake up every week on some days to damn loud gas trimmers early in morning. I work 2nd shift so I always have to go to sleep late and on most days I wake up rested if I get up late morning. But if I get those yard work early morning my sleep gets disrupted. I think of moving to another apartment that has no issue with this but are there any? There are some things I won't escape like collecting garbage but those last quick and you can go back to sleep right away. Not so when I have people doing landscaping :/ I can't even predict when they do it because they come in at random days, sometimes its Tuesdays, sometimes its Thursdays, sometimes 2x a week :/

Would you rather live in a complex that looks like s**t? If you want a place to look nice it requires noise and minor inconvenience.

Hell yea, I would rather live in a quiet ugly apartment complex than nicely decorated but noisy one! Let me ask you this question, would you rather get more sleep or live in a forest?

I used to live in apartments that had much more green, bigger backyards, lawn where it got snow in winter. At least those workers came on the specific day, every week or 2 weeks usually Monday.

Not like I am at the current situation, for amount of "green", mostly parking lot outside my apartment it is overkill. And they come at random days!

and btw loosing sleep especially before going to work isn't minor inconvenience! If you think 20db earplugs will solve this problem, you try that.

1st world problems...I promise you, I get it. I used to live in a condo complex in SJ where it was very similar. They had these sprinklers right outside my bedroom window that would go off like clockwork at 2am EVERY SINGLE DAY and sounded like evil hissing snakes. It was completely inefficient and wasteful and my HOA was less than sympathetic. I finally learned to live with it though.

At least you could block that noise with earplugs and closed window. It is impossible with loud like motorcycle engine noise right next to your window.

I actually have a similar issue - loud leaf blowers outside my apartment. But I always have a couple fans running in my room at night to provide white noise, so generally I don't notice them.
